- Title
The Windmill Softball Pitch, Part 2: Injury Prevention.
- Authors
Oliver, Gretchen D.
- Abstract
The article discusses the strength and conditioning program developed for windmill softball pitchers. The need of a proper sequence of muscle activation to deliver the windmill softball pitch (WSP) in an efficient manner is emphasized. The program is based on upper and lower extremity muscle activations that have been documented to occur during WSP performance. Throughout the entire WSP delivery sequence, the gluteal muscle group has been found to have greatest high level of activation. Isometric and dynamic strengthening exercises are presented.
