AUDIO-VISUAL PRESENTATION FEATURING SOFTBALL

OBJECTIVES:

• It aims to explain the joint movement of bones and muscles in Softball

especially on the skills: pitching and sprinting.
• It enables the viewers/students to deeply understand how bones and muscles
work harmoniously in a certain movement.

BACKGROUND:

Based on Jersey Softball Association, a slow-pitch softball team is made up of 10

people, 5 girls and 5 guys. The positions are largely the same as baseball, with an extra
person in the outfield. The pitching is done under arm at a slow speed, so the batting is
a lot easier and safer than in baseball. This gives people of all abilities the opportunity to
play. Matches usually last 7 innings, which may seem a lot, but the time actually flies by.
Matches usually last around an hour. It is a physical-sport that requires agility, speed
and strength. As a result, Softball has a lot of benefits in many aspects: Supplies total
human body conditioning; strength and anaerobic benefit; chest and upper muscle
development; mid as well as lower body conditioning; burns calorie consumption and
excess fat; improves self-esteem; teaches teamwork; advance leadership; develop time
management; learn about dealing adversity; and learn goal setting. To achieve all of
these benefits, audio-visual presentation can be a big help.

EXECUTION
 Our team will invite a certified PUPian softball player that will help to demonstrate
the skills that we have chosen—throwing and catching. When everything is settled,
shooting for the video begin. First, the team decided to conduct shooting on oval due to
it is the most appropriate setting for this sport. After the guest player executed the two
skills, voice over is the next thing. Our team assigned Alphons Reyes, because he is the
most articulate and fit for that task. He will do all the script readings that needed in the
video especially, in movement analysis. The final part of is editing. It is the most time
consuming among the whole process, the one who will do this should bear a wide
technological literacy and skills to greatly accomplish the expected outcome.

ESSENTIAL

Audio-visual presentation (AVP) featuring Softball will provide an in-depth

understanding and analysis not only for its players but for everyone who will watch this.
It provides a much more detailed elaboration about a particular movement in Softball
that will give enlightenment specifically to us, students under college of human kinetics
on how bones and muscles work accordingly to perform a specific movement. Through
this, injury can prevent from severity because the information we have gained from the
AVP supplies us knowledge regarding the origin and insertion of the bones and
muscles, muscle actions and how it will be treated.

END PRODUCT

A 5 to 7 minute AVP featuring Softball, presenting two different skills on softball.

On how these skills are executed properly and scientifically.
 MOVEMENT ANALYSIS OF PITCHING A SOFTBALL

Preparatory Phase

Joints Involved Articulating Bones Action

Shoulder Humerus Hyperextension
Scapula
Clavicle
Elbow Humerus Extension
Ulna and Radius

Pitching Phase

Joints Involved Articulating Bones Action

Shoulder Humerus Inversion
Scapula
Clavicle
Elbow Humerus Flexion
Ulna and Radius

Follow Through Phase

Joints Involved Articulating Bones Action

Wrist Ulna Flexion
Carpal
Metacarpals
Phalanges
Elbow Humerus Flexion
Ulna and Radius
Muscles Involved Movement
Supraspinatus Shoulder abduction
Infraspinatus Outward rotation of the arm
Subscapularis Inward rotation of the arm
Teres major Extension and rotation of the arm
Teres minor Outward rotation of the arm
Pectoralis Major Arm flexion and adduction
Deltoid Flexion and abduction
Coracobrachialis Flexion and abduction
Biceps Brachii Flexion

In the preparatory phase the joints involved are shoulder and elbow. On
shoulder, articulating bones included are humerus, scapula and clavicle to do the
hyperextension. While on elbow, articulating bones involved are humerus, ulna and
radius that allow extension.

In the pitching phase, joints and articulating bones involved are the same. It only
differ in action which are inversion of the shoulder and flexion of the elbow.

The final phase is the follow through, which involved joints are wrist and elbow.
On wrist articulating bones included are ulna, carpal, metacarpal and phalanges which
enabled the action flexion. While on elbow, it involved humerus, ulna and radius that
allowed the elbow flexion.

Therefore, the movement in pitching a softball is an isotonic contraction because

when the muscles shorten it causes the joints to move and the body parts attached
move as well causing body movement
 MOVEMENT ANALYSIS OF SPRINTING

The leg action in running is one that takes place in a sagittal plane about a frontal
axis and involves the hip, knee and ankle joints.

The bones of the hip involved are the femur and pelvic girdle which form a ball
and socket joint.

The bones of the knee involved are the femur and tibia which form a hinge joint.
The bones of the ankle involved are the tibia and calcaneus which form a modified joint.

Each of these joints produces two actions, one when the leg is in contact with the
ground (driving phase) and one when the leg is not in contact with the ground (recovery
phase).

Driving Phase

Joints Action Agonist Muscle

involved
Hip Extension & Gluteal muscles (gluteus maximus and
hyperextension gluteus minimus) and Hamstrings (biceps
femoris, semimembranosus, semitendinosus)
Knee Extension Quadriceps group of muscles (rectus femoris,
vastus medialis, vastus lateralis and vastus
intermedialis)
Ankle Plantar flexion Gastrocnemius

Recovery phase

Joints Action Agonist Muscle

involved
Hip Flexion Iliopsoas
Knee Flexion Hamstrings (biceps femoris, semimembranosus,
semitendinosus)
Ankle Dorsiflexion Tibialis anterior
