| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the movement of pitching is controlled so that fluctuation arising at a joint is complemented mutually among joints. Data were collected from 18 semi-professional pitchers who threw a baseball from an indoor mound, by using a motion capture system with 16 high-speed cameras (1,000 Hz). A simulation motion was generated by using the direct kinematics with randomized method in which each joint angle is randomly selected from the 10 best pitches. One hundred set, one set was composed of 10 simulated motions, were generated. The standard deviations of the position, direction, and movement direction for the actual movement was compared with the 100 sets of the simulated motion. The SDs for the actual movement were much smaller than those for the simulated movements. It suggested that the actual pitching movement is controlled by some mechanism utilizing mutual-complementary coordination.
