| Research Abstract |
For baseball hitting by university baseball players,
1. when the lighter or shorter bat is used, both angular velocities of lower and upper trunk of the hitter in the horizontal plane may not be decreased from the latter half of the swing to the ball impact.
2. the range of motion of the front upper arm in relation to the upper trunk may be increased when using the lighter bat, but may not be so much when using shorter one.
3. angular velocity of the longer bat may be decreased during the early stage of the swing, but may not be so much in case of the heavier one.
When the lighter bat is used by youth baseball players,
1. the angular movement phase of the bat is similar to that of the upper trunk.
2. the bat rotates more relative to the upper trunk at the ball impact.
3. each of the upper, and lower trunk, and bat rotates more at the ball impact on the global frame of reference.
Similar effects might be acquired for the daily hitting motion after 6 weeks' practice swing of lighter bat.
