傳統器械式重量訓練是運動選手經常使用來增強肌力的一種訓練方式,但因為偏遠學校經常有購買成本及使用空間的限制,因此本研究目的欲探討六週的抗力球訓練對棒球選手核心肌群及專項運動表現的影響。募集二十四名棒球選手隨機分為重量訓練組與抗力球兩組,每組各十二名選手。每位選手平常就進行每週三次的傳統器械式重量訓練,因此重量訓練組依然維持每週三次的傳統器械式重量訓練,而抗力球組則將重量訓練改為每週三次的抗力球訓練,兩組除重量訓練和抗力球訓練不同外,其於訓練皆維持相同。在抗力球訓練介入前與六週抗力球介入後檢測兩組選手之核心肌群的肌耐力及棒球基本專項運動表現。結果發現六週的抗力球訓練對高中棒球選手核心肌群的肌耐力及棒球基本專項表現與傳統器械式重量訓練的效果相同。未來學校棒球隊如果有經費或使用空間的限制時,可以選擇使用較便宜的抗力球訓練來代替昂貴的傳統器械式重量訓練,來增強棒球選手的核心肌群之肌耐力及專項運動表現。
Resistance training with sophisticated equipment usually considers promoting the muscular strength in athletes. Some remote schools are unable to purchase the costly equipment to maintain the resistance training facilities. This study was designed to evaluate the Swiss ball training effects on core muscular strength and specialty performance in senior high school baseball players. We recruited twenty-four baseball players and assigned into resistance training (n=12) and Swiss ball training (n=12) groups. Both groups performed their respective exercise trainings 3-time for a week. We measured core muscular strength and specialties in baseball performance before and after six weeks of training. In this study, we found specialties in baseball performance including, distance of throwing, speed of throwing and base running speed in resistance trained group similar to the Swiss ball trained group. Our results suggest that no differences in performance between resistance and Swiss ball trained players. This study concludes that baseball team from the remote schools, those have restrictions in funds and space usage, can use the low expensive Swiss ball training instead of resistance training for improve the core muscular strength and specialties in performance.
