Our group has always enjoyed baseball, we decided to make our video on the biomechanics of a baseball swing. We all are fans of the sport, it’s America’s national pastime, and we also know there has been extensive research on this popular movement. The game of baseball was invented in 1839, by Abner Doubleday, in Cooperstown, New York.

applies the laws of mechanics and physics to human performance in order to gain a greater understanding of performance in athletic events through modeling, simulation, and measurement.” (Wood, 2010, p.1) Biomechanics is the study that focuses on movement of the human body. In order to optimize his or her performance, a pitcher must understand and utilize the biomechanic principles that contribute to his or her success. In biomechanics, “the human body is viewed as a machine, or mechanical system
cameras, motions such as dance, walking, pitching, swinging, and other physically distinct movements have been captured in three dimensional data. With this 3D data, distinctions can be ascertained between expected and actual movement data, and efforts can be collaborated by CARRT to better address the needs of their subjects in order to achieve a desired movement potential. By examining the compensatory movements that are present during dynamic motion of an individual with an upper or lower limb prosthesis
flat serve, topspin-slice serve, slice serve, American twist serve and the topspin serve. The paper will focus on the some of the types of the serves and the ways in which the upper extremity are involved in the game. With this, it will look at the movements that occur at each of the upper extremity together with the muscles that are in use at the joints. The upper extremities are linked to the shaft by means of the shoulder girdle. These parts of the body includes; the shoulder girdle together with
arena; for example, Bank of America Stadium for the Charlotte Panthers or American Airlines Arena for the Miami Heat. Domestically, as of the beginning of 2014, 56 percent of team’s stadiums or arenas in the major four sports (Football, Basketball, Baseball, and Hockey) are currently named after publicly traded companies. Sponsoring a sport team is a major decision for the company to undertake, as the majority of the deals are long-term, sizeable investments; for example, the Dallas Cowboys recently
