Abstract
This study was undertaken to provide correct posture guidance and reference material for sports injury and injury prevention programs, by analyzing body alignment and plantar pressure distribution in high school baseball players. Totally, 32 subjects were enrolled for the study. Body alignment was measured from the trunk imbalance, kyphotic angle, lordotic angle, pelvic tilt, and pelvic torsion. Foot pressure was measured from the left maximum pressure, right maximum pressure, left weight, and right weight. The mean and standard deviation of the measured factors were calculated and tabulated, and the correlation between body alignment and foot pressure distribution was analyzed using Pearson's correlation analysis. All statistical significance levels were set at 0.05. Body alignment and foot pressure distribution show a positive correlation between the lordotic angle of lumbar spine and the left maximum pressure. There was no correlation between trunk imbalance, kyphotic angle, lordotic angle, pelvic tilt, pelvic torsion, and the left·right weight distribution and the left·right maximum pressure of each foot. Results of this study determined that the increase of the lordotic angle of lumbar spine results in more force on one side of the foot, thereby increasing the maximum pressure. We believe our data could be a reference for exercise programs on physical alignment and plantar pressure distribution of athletes.
