Fava A, Downs Talmage J, van Hogerwou T, Oliver G
Am J Sports Med . 2024 Sep; 52(12):3118-3129. PMID: 39344907
Background: Softball pitchers frequently pitch at high volumes. Previous research has demonstrated changes in mechanics, range of motion, and perceived levels of fatigue and pain at high workloads. To date,...

Giordano K, Nebel A, Fava A, Oliver G
Am J Sports Med . 2024 Sep; 52(12):3110-3117. PMID: 39324501
Background: Depending on anthropometrics and coaching style, pitchers are taught to pitch with a stride strategy that are traditionally classified as "tall and fall" or "drop and drive" for the...

Bordelon N, Gober P, A Holtz K, Plummer H, Downs-Talmage J, Strunk K, et al.
Orthop J Sports Med . 2024 Aug; 12(7):23259671241257259. PMID: 39139745
Background: Research indicates that mechanics differ between athletes with and without upper extremity pain; however, it is unclear which modifiable risk factors exist for throwing-related pain in softball athletes. Purpose:...

Talmage J, Bordelon N, Wasserberger K, Oliver G
Int J Sports Med . 2024 Jul; 45(12):937-944. PMID: 39047778
The primary aims of the study were to perform a descriptive analysis of hitting energetics off a pitching machine and to compare between the rear- and lead-side lower and upper...

Bordelon N, Fava A, Friesen K, Crotin R, Oliver G
Int J Sports Med . 2024 Jul; 45(10):759-766. PMID: 38955208
This study compared lower extremity, trunk, and upper extremity kinematics between tee and front toss hitting in youth baseball athletes. Twenty youth baseball athletes (14.3±2.9 yrs) performed three maximal effort...

A Holtz K, Zaremski J, Janosky J, Friesen K, Oliver G
Int J Sports Med . 2024 May; 45(11):804-809. PMID: 38802073
Fastpitch softball is a popular women's sport, and athletes, particularly pitchers, are at high risk for overuse injury. Softball-related injury rates are low; however, the prevalence of overuse injuries is...

Giordano K, Wasserberger K, Oliver G
Int J Sports Med . 2024 Mar; 45(7):549-555. PMID: 38437874
Overhead athletes require strenuous shoulder activity in nonneutral cervical spine positions to eccentrically decelerate the throwing/striking arm following ball release/contact. We therefore aimed to compare eccentric shoulder rotation strength through...

Giordano K, Cich M, Oliver G
J Strength Cond Res . 2024 Jan; 38(2):253-258. PMID: 38258829
Giordano, KA, Cassidy, MM, and Oliver, GD. Length-tension differences between concentric and eccentric shoulder rotation strength. J Strength Cond Res 38(2): 253-258, 2024-Eccentric contractions generally produce more force than concentric...

Talmage J, Friesen K, Fava A, Everhart K, Oliver G
Sports Health . 2023 Dec; 16(4):644-649. PMID: 38149321
Background: Softball research has investigated changes in physical characteristics, mechanics, and ball speed as elements of fatigue. However, the influence of pitch volume on ball metrics is unclear. The purpose...

Oliver G, Fava A, Lozowski B, Zaremski J, A Holtz K, Bowers R
Int J Sports Med . 2023 Oct; 45(1):71-78. PMID: 37890497
During throwing, the lower extremity assists in the generation and transfer of momentum. Lower extremity stability assists in this transfer by providing a base for distal mobility of the arm...
