Abstract
The purpose of this study was to present difference of upper Body kinematic variable according to plane when pitched ball velocity increase in the same subject in two pitched ball velocity such as 110km, 120km. The subjects of this study were the nine right-handed pitcher who belonged to professional, university and high school. 3D cinematograph which pictured subjects was analyzed by LabVIEW 6i(Johnson, G.W., 2000) and SPSS 10. 0 to compare ten kinematic variables by plane. The results can be summarized as follows: In linear velocity, it had the maximal value in such order as hip, shoulder, elbow, hand. Especially, the time when elbow segment and hand segment had the maximal value was different from the time when ball velocity was slow according to ball velocity increased. Trunk tilt angle, elbow angle and pelvis rotation angle had statistically significant difference in the time when lead foot contact and shoulder`s maximal external rotation. When Instance of ball release, kinematic variables had statistically significant difference in horizontal rotation of shoulder, trunk tilting angle, trunk rotation angle. Also, Angular velocity of maximal upper torso, angle velocity of maximal pelvis, angle of maximal elbow, Extension angle of maximal elbow and maximal internal rotation velocity had statistically significant difference in cocking plane or acceleration plane.
