Optimizing Baseball Training With Infrasternal Angle (ISA): Individualizing Programs for Hitters and Pitchers

The ISA fundamentally affects movement because it influences how the thoracic ribcage and spine flex, extend, rotate, and stabilize. In narrow ISA individuals, the ribcage is biased toward external rotation (ER), favouring movements that require rapid rotation and elastic recoil. In wide ISA individuals, the ribcage is positioned with a more significant internal rotation (IR) window, suiting them for compression-based strength exercises and sustained force production over wider ranges of motion.

Velocity-Based Training (VBT) for Baseball: Optimizing Speed and Power

Baseball is a sport that relies heavily on speed and power, whether it’s throwing a fastball, swinging a bat, or sprinting to steal a base. Traditionally, strength training has been the cornerstone of building these physical traits. However, modern technology has introduced a game-changing tool: Velocity-Based Training (VBT). By measuring the speed of movement during exercises, VBT provides a more precise and individualized approach to training, allowing athletes to optimize their power and explosiveness.

3D Training: Unlocking Athletic Potential in Every Plane of Motion

Training across all three planes of motion—sagittal, frontal, and transverse—is vital for athletes to enhance functional strength, prevent injury, and improve sport-specific skills. By incorporating exercises like medicine ball throws and utilizing advanced equipment such as the Proteus Motion's 3D resistance system, athletes can experience a training advantage that translates into superior performance on the field.
