What this trial studies
This study focuses on preventing sports injuries among baseball players by implementing an intelligent training system. It aims to assess the risk of injuries caused by repetitive pitching through biomechanical analysis of players' movements. The intervention involves targeted training for lower extremity and core muscles to enhance performance and reduce injury risk. The study targets healthy baseball pitchers aged 18 to 55, excluding those with prior surgeries or specific diseases.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this system could significantly reduce the incidence of sports injuries in baseball players.
How similar studies have gone: While there is ongoing research in sports injury prevention, this specific approach using an intelligent training system is relatively novel.
