Puga, T., Scigliano, N. M., Box, M. W., Riehl, J. T. “…The effects of the pitch clock on player injury rates is largely unknown, and some, including the major league baseball players association, have suggested that pitchers may be at an increased risk of injury with its implementation. …”

Wagner, H., Hinz, M., Radic, V. “…However, the direct influence of this professional training on specific physical performance in team handball is unknown, despite its importance as a criterion for effective training in adolescent elite team handball. …”

Bauer, J., Muehlbauer, T., Geiger, S., Gruber, M. “…Many attempts have been made to assess the level of fatigue in athletes either by objective (neuromuscular performance) or subjective (questionnaires) measures, however, their interplay over short-, mid-, and long-term periods is currently unknown. Knowledge about both types of assessments is important as load management by coaches is traditionally based on direct adjustments following a training session, adjustments of content structure of training weeks between games, as well as adjustments of load management over the entire competitive season. …”

Hulburt, T., Kimura, B., Nicholson, K. “…Intra-player movement pattern variability in baseball pitching has been demonstrated to affect metrics of performance and injury risk. It is currently unknown how many pitches are necessary to properly accommodate for intra-player variability for an appropriately representative analysis of a pitcher`s throwing mechanics. …”

Hodakowski, A., Dowling, B., Brusalis, C. M., Olmanson, B. A., Streepy, J. T., McCormick, J. R., Dowling, B. A., Verma, N. N., Garrigues, G. E. “…Pitching from the stretch incurred greater shoulder superior force (p < 0.001). It remains unknown if this is clinically significant as pooled means show only a 2% difference. …”

Yamashita, N., Sato, D., Mishima, T. “…However, the extent of these correlations remains unknown through statistical analysis. Thus, this study statistically compared correlation coefficients between COD, COD deficit (CODD), and jumping and linear sprint performances. …”

Oeding, J. F., MS, Jurgensmeier, K., Boos, A. M., BA, Krych, A. J., Okoroha, K. R., Moatshe, G., Camp, C. L. “…However, whether the improved outcomes reported for treatments such as MUCL reconstruction (UCLR) or nonoperative management with a series of PRP injections justifies their increased upfront costs remains unknown. Purpose To compare the cost-effectiveness of an initial trial of physical therapy alone, an initial trial of physical therapy plus a series of PRP injections, and early UCLR to determine the preferred cost-effective treatment strategy for young, high-level baseball pitchers with partial tears of the MUCL and with aspirations to continue play at the next level (ie, collegiate and/or professional). …”

Wagner, H., Hinz, M. “…However, in elite team handball academies, general, unspecific tests are often used to determine this physical performance. It is unknown if these unspecific physical performance tests have an influence on the specific team handball performance, although this knowledge is essential for the selection process during adolescence or for young adults before transitioning to professional elite team handball. …”

Wang, C. C., Huang, Y. T. A., Jiang, R. S., Liao, C. A., Kuo, L. W. “…BACKGROUND: The influence of COVID-19 infection on elite athletes remains largely unknown, especially on baseball players. The goal of this study is to examine the actual performance of infected elite baseball players from the Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL) from a sabermetric point of view. …”

Sakurai, M., Barrack, A. J., Lobb, N. J., Wee, C. P., Diaz, P. R., Michener, L. A., Karduna, A. R. “…However, studies incorporating within-subject analyses report that not all professional pitchers have a positive relationship between elbow varus torque and ball velocity (T-V relationship). It remains unknown whether collegiate pitchers show the same trend as professionals in their T-V relationships. …”

Chalmers, P. N., Mcelheny, K., D`Angelo, J., Ma, K., Rowe, D., Erickson, B. J. “…Background: The influence of player workload on hamstring and calf injuries in professional baseball players remains unknown. Hypothesis: Increased workload would significantly increase hamstring and calf strain injury risk. …”

Beckham, G, K., Martin, E., Layne, D, K., Luke, R., Mayhew, J. L. “…The backwards overhead medicine ball (BOMB) throw is commonly-used to tests this ability, but the effect of varied loading on test execution is unknown. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of different medicine ball (MB) loads on force, velocity, and power output during the BOMB throw. …”

Zech, A., Hollander, K., Junge, A., Steib, S., Groll, A., Heiner, J., Nowak, F., Pfeiffer, D., Rahlf, A. L. “…Although female sex is considered a risk factor, it is still unknown whether female and male team-sport players, in fact, differ in their injury rates. …”

Friesen, K. B., Oliver, G. D. “…Softball pitchers can be of various shapes and sizes; however, it is unknown if segment girth might influence pitch biomechanics. …”

Thomas, S. J., Castillo, G. C., Topley, M., Paul, R. W. “…Owing to the high eccentric forces imposed upon the external rotators (ie, posterior rotator cuff), pitchers that continue to throw while fatigued are at a significantly higher risk of shoulder and/or elbow injury; however, the neuromuscular compensation strategies of baseball players in response to fatigue are currently unknown. Hypothesis: Players would utilize the same muscle synergy structure following external rotation (ER) fatigue; however, muscle coefficients of nonfatigued muscles would increase (ie, compensate for the external rotators) after fatigue. …”

Bache-Mathiesen, L. K. “…Unfortunately, how training load can be altered to achieve desired outcomes is unknown, because the relationship between training load and injury risk has proven difficult to study. …”

Nakahara, H., Takeda, K., Fujii, K. “…However, this measure ignores the game situation, such as the runners on base, which coaches and batters are known to consider when employing multiple hitting strategies, yet, the effectiveness of these strategies is unknown. This is probably because (1) we cannot obtain the batter's strategy and (2) it is difficult to estimate the effect of the strategies. …”

Soler-López, A., García-de-Alcaraz, A., Moreno-Villanueva, A., Pino-Ortega, J. “…Although there is a wide range of validated devices to measure vertical jump height, the degree of interchangeability among them is currently unknown. Aims: The purpose of this study was to examine the concurrent validity and reliability of multiple devices to measure jump height in men`s handball players. …”

Goodrich, E., Cox, B., Plummer, H. A., Cohen, A., Andrews, J. R., Saper, M. “…However, the frequency of each tear type and the association to age, competition level, and radiographic findings in adolescent baseball pitchers are unknown. Purposes: The primary purpose of this study was to use MRA to characterize the severity, location, and UCL tear type in adolescent pitchers. …”
