Some members of the Softball Pitching Advisory Committee published this article (10.1055/a-2312-5051 - 1st author: @KailaHoltz). So much more evidence is needed for injury prevention programming to really take-off, but here are some main causal factors for overuse injury in SB.

Understanding workload implications in softball pitchers, an under-studied topic in #FastPitchSoftball, is needed to improve methods of training, injury prevention and sports performance.

Research Highlight #1 from @NorthernStateU undergrad and softball player, @LoweAlysa
Drop and Drive vs Tall and Fall: does stride type impact velocity and elbow torque? This group from @AuburnKINES used in-game @KinaTraxInc markerless data to investigate.

Fun collaboration with @kww_DL @NicoleMBordelon & @gretchendoliver
We performed a descriptive analysis of energy flow in the UE and LE during a baseball swing. We also compared
EF between the front and back side extremities. Curious about the differences? Read to find out!π§

How does a doubleheader impact different softball pitch-type performance? How effective is a 30 minute recovery period?
This study, published this week, digs into how fastballs, drop balls, changeups, and curveballs change over a simulated double header.
