Weighted Baseball
Problem: Does throwing a weighted baseball increase your arm strength while not hampering your mechanics?
Hypothesis: If the weight of the baseball is increased then the arm strength will increase but also hamper the mechanics of throwing.
Materials:
Baseball
Glove
Tape measure
Weighted baseball (10 ounces)
Stopwatch
Hinson 2
Procedure:
1. Warm up your arm and reach the distance of 150 feet, when you have reached that distance get the stop watch and have someone time how long it takes for you to throw the baseball to your partner. Repeat this step 100 times.
2.Add all the times up and divide by 100 then calculate the velocity using this equation V= D/T D=distance T=time.
3. Play catch with the weighted baseball from 60 feet for 100 throws for 5 days.
4. Warm up your arm and reach the distance of 150 feet, when you have reached that distance get the stop watch and have someone time how long it takes for you to throw the baseball to your partner. Repeat this step 100 times.
5.Add all the times up and divide by 100 then calculate the velocity using this equation V= D/T D=distance T=time.
Data:
Day 1: Distance 150ft. average velocity 96.774 Date:12/26/11
Day 2: Distance 150ft. average velocity 100.671 Date: 12/28/11
Day 3: Distance 150ft. average velocity 102.739 Date:12/31/11
Day 4: Distance 150ft. average velocity 106.382 Date: 1/3/12
Day 5: Distance 150ft. average velocity 107.913 Date: 1/4/12

Results:
| Velocity | Arm Angle | Distance | Day 1 | 96.774 | 92° | 150 ft. | Day 2 | 100.671 | 92° | 150 ft. | Day 3 | 102.739 | 93° | 150 ft. | Day 4 | 106.382 | 93° | 150 ft. | Day 5 |
