  • Strengthening the Rotator Cuff: an Introduction to the Functional Anatomy & Strengthening Exercises SPORT & EXERCISE SCIENCE, Vol.2, No.5
    SPORT-SPECIFIC CONDITIONING CONSULTANTS ‘Sport-Specific Conditioning is our Focus, Performance is our Goal’ - PERFORMANCE NUTRITION - ATHLETIC TRAINING - ATHLETE DEVELOPMENT- PERFORMANCE PSYCHOLOGY – MANAGEMENT & CONSULTING - Strengthening the Rotator Cuff: An Introduction to the Functional Anatomy & Strengthening Exercises SPORT & EXERCISE SCIENCE, Vol.2, No.5 Written by Stefanie Bronson, Athletic Conditioning Consultant A review of baseball and softball specific injuries and the amount of playing time missed because of injury suggests that the rotator cuff (RC) is an extremely important muscle group, particularly for pitchers. Currently, in Major League Baseball (MLB), Jeremy Sowers of the Toronto Blue Jays, Brad Lidge of the Philadelphia Phillies, and Brandon Lyon of the Houston Astros have yet to pitch this season due to injury in this area (4). When considering the bony configuration of the shoulder, the rates of muscle contraction, angular velocities, shoulder and arm acceleration / deceleration profiles, tensile strains generated, and the repetitive nature of these physical demands on a pitcher’s arm, it is easy to see that the load placed on the rotator cuff muscles can be extremely high, and that for optimal pitching performance, requires specific strength and conditioning attention. When viewed from the perspective of the shoulder as being an integral part of the linked kinetic chain that is the arm, and that the strength, stability, and endurance characteristics of the shoulder influence the physical loads within the elbow, it becomes evident that every ball player from Little League (basic pitch and over use limitations) to the majors (sophisticated training programs) should be involved in a shoulder and RC strength training program.
