Sports injuries are a significant concern for baseball players, with increasing rates reported among professional, high school, and college athletes. Many pitching injuries result from repetitive pitching motions, which involve complex full-body coordination. Understanding biomechanical changes during pitching is essential to assess injury risks and develop prevention strategies. This study evaluates an intelligent sports injury prevention and training system focusing on lower extremity and core muscle training for baseball pitchers. The training includes single-leg balance exercises and pelvic control activities, aimed at enhancing pitching mechanics and reducing injury risk. Participants will engage in these specialized training routines as part of the intervention. Participants will be monitored over six weeks with assessments including the countermovement jump (CMJ) test to measure performance changes. The study involves healthy male baseball pitchers aged 18 to 55 years. Researchers will track biomechanical and physical improvements to understand training effects on injury prevention and performance.
