Abstract

Biomechanics is the study of the principles and laws of human movement. It plays a pivotal role in the advancement of fast-pitch softball. This article adopts bibliometric methods to analyze and research the biomechanics of fast-pitch softball technical actions from various angles. The paper specifically reviews the current state of biomechanical development, the biomechanical status of fast-pitch softball technical actions, and the relevant biomechanical principles of pitching and batting techniques in fast-pitch softball. The goal is to enhance the understanding and recognition of biomechanical research in fast-pitch softball and to serve as a reference for future biomechanical studies in this sport.
