The training was performed for 1 hour per session, three sessions per week, for 6 weeks. The dependent variables related to the two groups&rsquo; physical fitness, aerobic and anaerobic capacity, were measured before training and 6 weeks after training.<br> <strong>Results. </strong>The FTG showed significant improvements in right-hand grip strength and plank, and the WTG showed significant improvements in right-hand grip strength, left-hand grip strength, and plank. The FTG showed a significant improvement in side-step, and the WTG showed significant improvements in sit-up and side-step. For anaerobic capacity, the FTG showed significant improvements in pitching and batting speeds, and the WTG showed a significant improvement in batting speed.<br> <strong>Conclusion. </strong>Both training programs led to significant improvements in the physical factors associated with increased athletic performance in baseball players, and the two programs&rsquo; effects were complementary. Thus, training programs targeting specific areas that require improvement will increase baseball players&rsquo; performance.</div> Baseball Players, Functional Training, Weight Training, Physical Ability 0 0 http://aassjournal.com/browse.php?a_code=A-11-1538-3&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Jehun Lee leejehun@knsu.ac.kr 100319475328460011877 100319475328460011877 Yes Korea Institute for Applied Anatomy, College of Sports Science, National Sport University of Korea, Yangjaedero 1239, Songpagu, Seoul, Korea Geun-Soo Yang yanga913@naver.com 100319475328460011878 100319475328460011878 No Korea Institute for Applied Anatomy, College of Sports Science, National Sport University of Korea, Yangjaedero 1239, Songpagu, Seoul, Korea MiSun Lee soplamisun@gmail.com 100319475328460011879 100319475328460011879 No School of Music and Arts, College of Music and Arts, Dankook University, Jukjeon, Korea
