“…Contrary to the 276 expected hypothesis, skilled participants elicited improvements in goal scoring success when 277 using the light puck, and a further decrease in performance as puck mass increased. However, 278 Stark et al (2009), suggests that the use of a light puck affords skilled participants 279 opportunities to shoot the puck much faster with the same amount of force they usually 280 employ for a shot with a regulation puck. This concurs with the results of the current study, 281 as the majority of skilled participants missed the first shot but successfully scored on the 282 following two shots.…”

27Manipulation of task constraints have previously been effective in task simplification 28 enhancing skill development. This study examines how manipulation of puck masses affects 29 movement behaviors in skilled and less skilled ice hockey players during a representative ice 30 hockey task. Fifty participants were separated into a skilled (n = 25) or less-skilled (n = 25) 31 group. Three trials per condition of an obstacle course and breakaway goal attempt were 32 completed in a counter-balanced design using three puck masses, categorised as: light (133g)

Background:Weighted-implement training utilizing over- or underweight baseballs has increased in popularity at all levels in competitive baseball. However, there is no consensus on the efficacy or safety of these training methods.Hypothesis:This systematic review was intended to answer the following questions: Does weighted-ball training improve pitching velocity? Does weighted-ball training increase the risk of injury?Study Design:Systematic review; Level of evidence, 4.Methods:Searches were conducted with MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the ProQuest Physical Education Index. Articles were included if the study population consisted of adult, adolescent, or youth baseball pitchers training with under- or overweight baseballs, with velocity as a measured outcome. Articles were excluded if they were review articles, examined sports other than baseball, utilized weighted implements other than baseballs, or were not published in peer-reviewed journals. Included articles were at least level 4 evidence. Data extracted for qualitative analysis included training protocol parameters (such as ball weight, number of pitches, duration of training), velocity change, and injuries or complications reported.Results:A total of 4119 article titles were retrieved, of which 156 were selected for abstract review. After manual removal of duplicates, 128 abstracts were reviewed. Of these, 17 met the inclusion criteria, and the full text was obtained. After full-text review, 7 additional articles were excluded, leaving 10 articles that met inclusion criteria and were included for analysis.Conclusion:Weighted-implement training increased pitching velocity in the majority of the included studies. However, the quality of available evidence was determined to be very poor, and there was marked heterogeneity in training protocols, ball weights, and study populations. There was inadequate evidence reported to determine the risk of injury with this type of training.
