Abstract
Adolescent baseball pitchers who pitch too frequently may place too great a demand on their rapidly growing shoulders, resulting in damage that may curtail and possibly end their playing careers. Muscle imbalance is another factor that causes career-limiting damage. Two helpful approaches are to limit pitching frequency in games and to initiate total body conditioning programs that include developing or increasing flexibility, cardiopulmonary endurance, and lower-extremity muscle strength and endurance. Flexibility and balanced strength are necessary for normal biomechanics of the shoulder complex and successful delivery of a pitch. Verf.-Referat
