Abstract Details

2009, B.S. in Exercise Science, University of Toledo, Exercise Science.
The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of training in fast pitched softball on the developmental process used in two-handed catching in college age females. The subjects will consist of females ranging in ages from 18 to 24 who have either participated in at least three years of varsity level softball, or have no previous experience in softball. The participants will attempt to catch a ball three times as warm up and then again five times in three different locations. Subjects will be recorded with two standard digital video cameras in the frontal and saggital plane as well as with an eight camera 3-D video system. By examining their reactions during their catches, the differences in hand velocity and acceleration while catching will be calculated and analyzed between the two groups. Differences in body movement while catching will also be recorded and studied to help define common differences between the two groups. There is little research in the field of catching, especially when comparing and contrasting trained and untrained females.
