Seasonal changes in body composition in collegiate baseball players

Conclusions: Body composition does change during the course of a baseball season, and these changes have the potential to impact performance and outcome measures as it relates to baseball. Principles of kinesiology suggest that it could significantly influence power, speed, agility, and quickness, but further study is needed to determine the practical on-field implications of the seasonal changes in body composition observed in baseball players.
