 note = {Objective: Icing is the most common care method for Japanese baseball players to prevent secondary tissue damage.However, because of reports that icing causes decrease in muscle strength and reduction in training effect, currentlythere is no standard post-pitching care. The purpose of this study was to longitudinally investigate whether differentpost-pitching care methods are associated with different effects on shoulder joint function.
Method: Aerobic exercise, stretch training, and icing were administered, at intervals of more than a week, tonine high school baseball pitchers after each of them pitched 100 throws. A comparative study was performed bymeasuring shoulder joint function after pitching, after care completion, and at 24 hours, 48 hours, and 72 hours postpitching.
Results: Significant differences were observed in shoulder rotation range of motion and external rotation musclestrength due to differences in care. Icing was the most selected care method in the questionnaire survey as well.Conclusion: Depending on differences in post-pitching care, the shoulder joint function changes. Awareness aboutchanges in shoulder joint function due to different care methods will help prevent pitching disorders through theselection of appropriate care depending on circumstances such as pitching day intervals.},
