1. If a college level baseball pitcher stretches before practice, they will prevent injury caused during practice.
2. Dependent Variable: The occurrence of injuries or pain
Independent Variable: The amount of stretching done.
Control Variable: 22 college level pitchers
3. Testing relationship between stretching and injury; Is excessive stretching dangerous to the pitcher's arm
Stretching is considered dangerous when done in excess and should only be appropriate according to the body's needs. Too much stretching can destroy the body's ability to recoil back to its original position when stretched out, weakening the strength of the muscles that are incorporated. By performing this experiment, I hope to understand the dynamics of stretching on a more observed level and how to limit your stretching.
4. I will perform this experiment by visiting college baseball teams and asking for permission to observe their practice techniques. In addition, I will be asking how much rest and ice is applied after practice. I will need to recored data in an organized way, but recording in a notebook the day of should suffice. being that each pitcher is different, I may also need to touch up on the pitcher's individual and ask how their practice helps them to perform without injuring themselves.
5. Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
