During the softball in-season, more focus is directed towards developing sport-specific skills rather than improving strength and fitness. Research in the area of softball has been centered on the type of resistance training performed prior to the in-season, with a lack of concern for changes in strength and conditioning that occur during the in-season. Therefore, the purpose of this proposed study was to determine if the strength and power levels pre-season were maintained during the season of collegiate-level softball, when the number of days per week devoted to strength and conditioning were reduced, and if there was a relationship between strength and power levels and assessment of sport-specific performance parameters during the season. NCAA Division I female athletes (N = 18, ages 18--21 years) from the University of Houston Varsity Softball Team participated in this study. Strength, general conditioning, and sport-specific tests were performed at T1 (pre-season), T3 (mid-season), and T4 (end-season). Batting performance was analyzed at T2 (4 wks into pre-season), T3, and T4. Results indicated a significant (p ≤ 0.05) loss in overall upper and lower body strength levels during the season. This loss in overall strength did not correlate with any sport-specific tests, indicating that the loss in strength did not significantly affect the ability to successfully perform sport-specific skills during the season. However, the increase in base running time was significantly related to overall higher lower body power performance. This novel research study supported the paradigm that increased performance of sport-specific skills practice was more important than maintaining activities that increase muscular strength, but not those that increase muscular power.Subjects--Topical Terms:
