Article body

The School of Kinesiology's Sports Medicine and Movement Lab, led by Professor Gretchen Oliver, was featured in the April 2022 International Society of Biomechanics in Sports newsletter. The newsletter, published twice yearly, highlighted some of the recent research projects happening in the lab.

The latest research projects have focused on mechanics and energy flow during baseball and softball pitching and hitting. Specific study goals include determining the relationship between stride mechanics and collegiate softball hitting performance; examining the association between mechanics, energy flow and performance in softball hitting; and investigating the influence of proximal energy flow on upper extremity stress and performance during softball pitching.
