| Rotational Strength, Endurance, and Flexibility Training for Throwers |
Tom House, PhD |
This presentation will offer some new training and conditioning protocols that enhance rotational strength/endurance and flexibility to optimize the other 80% of ball speed. A preliminary research study conducted by the NPA with 200+ pitchers of all ages and skill levels revealed that: a) 80% of real velocity comes from the rotational momentum generated by hips, shoulders and throwing arm; and b) 20% of real velocity comes from the directional momentum generated by total body moving toward home plate/target. From a training and conditioning standpoint, most of our strength work with pitchers has been in linear positions and movements that, at best, contribute 20% to the speed of a pitch. |
Tom House, PhD, is recognized as one of the world's foremost authorities on pitching. He pitched on the professional level from 1967 to 1979 for the Atlanta Braves, the Boston Red Sox, and the Seattle Mariners.
