|
|
Purpose: It is necessary for a good baseball player to have various physical attributes including good musclestrength and sensitive proprioception. Childhood and adolescence are very important in developing these physicalattributes, as they are suitable periods for acquiring basic physical strength and favorable physical attributes.
Methods: Therefore, this study focused on the comparison of use of technology, physical characteristics,biomechanics, lifestyle, and game usage in children and adolescents. This study aimed to conduct researchusing basic data for more effective training and guidance. The included participants were 39 middle schoolstudents (3rd graders) and 42 elementary school students (6th graders) who participated in the KBO NextLevel Training Camp.
Results: To summarize the results of this study, there was no significant difference in game usage betweenyoung and adolescent players, and no evidence could be derived that suggested game habits affect physicalcharacteristics, kinematics, or technical skills. Secondly, there was a significant difference in the physicalabilities of young and adolescent players, regardless of gaming habits. Thirdly, there were no differences inbatting speed, attack angle, or order of body movement between young and adolescent players. However,there were significant differences between the average peak hand speed, vertical bat angle, pitch releasespeed, spin rate, and striking distance (p=.001).
Conclusion: According to the conclusions drawn from this study, there were no differences in physical ability,kinematics, or performance between young and adolescent players according to gaming habits.
