Learn from Dr Phil Cheetham, leader in the industry of 3D analysis and kinematics as he explains what it measures, what it means, how it relates to performance, and the story of the development. 3D biomechanical pitch analyses were performed on 8-10 fastball pitches from 22 baseball pitchers (5 high school, 11 collegiate and 6 professional). A New Beginning to understanding the Major League Swing In baseball or fastpitch hitting, like so many other sports, it is all about working the body in the proper kinetic chain. K-Vest measures the kinematic sequence of a player along with tracking body positions at various point of the swing. The kinematic sequence patterns - time of peak angular velocity of five body segments: pelvis, trunk, arm, forearm and hand - were measured. This Zepp Instructional Short featuring Justin Stone of EliteBaseball.TV talks about the kinematic sequence the body must work in to achieve the most effient swing and how to …
(2011) reported a higher angular velocity of the pelvis for faster swinging batters, while Dowling and Fleisig (2016) reported the opposite result. sequence of body movements (Welch et al. As a coach, you can quickly find these power leaks and fix them. Once you understand the kinetic chain you will understand why so many theories don't hold water. This is called the kinematic sequence. With swing metrics and batted-ball data readily available for players (Blast Motion, Rapsodo, and HitTrax, in tech), K-Vest contributes significantly to the development picture by measuring how a player is moving.

We evaluated the variability of kinematic sequences in 208 baseball pitches. None of the … All great ball strikers generate speed the same way in the golf swing. Every player wants to reach their maximum potential and prevent injury. Correct sequencing can, not only help reduce stress on musculoskeletal structures of the throwing arm and spine, but also help maximize ball velocities on the mound, and bat speed behind the plate. In this episode you’ll learn about one of the most commonly referred to measurements of the golf swing, the kinematic sequence. 1995). Without it, it is much harder to identify the mistakes in a player’s swing. See ya’ in the gym… Studies: “Kinematic sequence patterns in the overhead baseball pitch” Scarborough et al. The Kinematic Sequence directly improves feel and – under pressure – feel is key. Kinetmatic Sequence Tips (Click on Title or Image to View Larger Photos) Great Players Generate Speed the Same Way. What this sequence defines is the transfer of energy from your hips to your shoulders and then to your arms and finally to the ball. For example, Inkster et al. Prior research, however, has not always been consistent in identifying kinematic features of fast bat swings.
