Test Sequence 1) Muscle Tests

Two primary tests were conducted that individually show the muscle's ability to maintain the body's balance and strength while standing in a static position when pressure is applied. Then a coordination test was conducted which is a combination of the balance and strength tests while in an active position. When in an active position, in this case a baseball stance, it requires the brain to maintain control of over 400 muscle commands simultaneously while holding its primary focus on one object, in this case the pitcher.

Application:

1) Standing at attention, feet together arms to the side, creating an unstable stance. Testing balance.
2) Standing at ease, torso facing forward, arm back and slightly raised. Testing shoulder lock.
3) Holding an active stance, arm back and slightly raised. Testing shoulder lock to confirm strength, balance and coordination - simultaneously.
