Can Functional Tests Predict Throwing Velocity Or Batting-Exit Velocity In Division Iii Collegiate Baseball: A Predictive Validity Investigation, Lucas Stetter, Luigi Russo

Student Symposium

Understanding the relationships between functional performance tests and actual sport performance is important for sport coaches and trainers. The purpose of this study is twofold: (1) Do relationships exist between upper body, lower body or whole-body tests of strength and power with throwing or batting velocity (2) Which variable or group of variables best predict the sport-specific tasks of throwing and batting velocity.
