Exercise system to improve the defensive technical-tactical behavior of baseball infielder players (original)

Abstract

The defense of infielders in the baseball sports training process is an aspect of great complexity. Providing a solution to technical-tactical, defensive behavior with a scientific approach is of great importance, due to the changes demanded by current sports preparation, where technique and tactics must be formed in a single structure. In Baseball, defense plays an important role in a team's competitive outcome. This research was developed in the 11-12 year old category Baseball team of the Guisa municipality, Granma province. Theoretical methods such as historical-logical, inductive-deductive, analytical-synthetic and systemic-structural-functional were used, in addition to empirical methods such as observation, measurement, documentary review and specialist criteria, as well as the interview technique. The percentage calculation was also used within the descriptive statistics. In the initial diagnosis, it provides accurate information about the positive and negative aspects of the technical-tactical defensive behavior of infield players in the 11-12 year category. To respond to the problems detected, the exercise system is proposed to improve the behavior of the defense, so important in sports results. The system provided is evaluated by specialists to determine its relevance before being applied.
