Previous research has shown no significant differences in time required to reach a base when sliding head-first or feet-first, but few studies have compared running through and sliding into first base in baseball players, and none have included softball players. The purpose of the present study was to examine differences in time required to reach first base when running, sliding head-first, and sliding feet-first. Twelve female collegiate softball players (20.0 ± 1.3 years old) and 14 male collegiate baseball players (20.6 ± 1.6 years old) performed three trials each of running, sliding head-first, and sliding feet-first in a randomized, counterbalanced order with 1–2 min of rest between each trial. Testing was conducted in an indoor practice facility and trials were timed using a dual-beam wireless infrared timing system. Significant differences between the three approaches were found for both softball (p < .001) and baseball players (p < .001), and follow-up pairwise comparisons showed running through the base was significantly faster than sliding head-first (p = .001 for softball, p = .009 for baseball) and feet-first (p < .001 for softball, p = .002 for baseball). Differences between sliding head-first and feet-first were not significant in either group. Running through first base is significantly faster than sliding in collegiate baseball and softball players. Sliding into first base should only be attempted when avoiding a tag from or a collision with a fielder.

到达一垒：在大学棒球和垒球运动员中跑步比滑行快

先前的研究表明，当头朝下或脚朝下滑行时，到达一垒所需的时间没有显着差异，但很少有研究比较棒球运动员穿过和滑入一垒的情况，而且没有一项研究包括垒球运动员。本研究的目的是检查跑步、头先滑和脚先滑时到达一垒所需的时间差异。12 名女大学生垒球运动员（20.0 ± 1.3 岁）和 14 名男大学生棒球运动员（20.6 ± 1.6 岁）以随机、平衡的顺序分别进行了跑步、头先滑和脚先滑三项试验，其中 1 – 每次试验之间休息 2 分钟。测试在室内练习设施中进行，试验使用双光束无线红外计时系统计时。垒球 (p < .001) 和棒球运动员 (p < .001) 的三种方法之间存在显着差异，后续的成对比较显示，跑过基地明显快于头朝下滑动 (p = .001)。 001 垒球，p = .009 棒球）和脚先（垒球 p < .001，棒球 p = .002）。在任何一组中，头先滑和脚先滑之间的差异都不显着。跑过一垒比在大学棒球和垒球运动员中滑行要快得多。只有在避免被外野手标记或与外野手发生碰撞时，才应尝试滑入一垒。和后续的成对比较显示，跑过基地比头先滑（垒球 p = .001，棒球 p = .009）和脚先滑（垒球 p < .001，p = .002）快得多棒球）。在任何一组中，头先滑和脚先滑之间的差异都不显着。跑过一垒比在大学棒球和垒球运动员中滑行要快得多。只有在避免被外野手标记或与外野手发生碰撞时，才应尝试滑入一垒。和后续的成对比较显示，跑过基地比头先滑（垒球 p = .001，棒球 p = .009）和脚先滑（垒球 p < .001，p = .002）快得多棒球）。在任何一组中，头先滑和脚先滑之间的差异都不显着。跑过一垒比在大学棒球和垒球运动员中滑行要快得多。只有在避免被外野手标记或与外野手发生碰撞时，才应尝试滑入一垒。跑过一垒比在大学棒球和垒球运动员中滑行要快得多。只有在避免被外野手标记或与外野手发生碰撞时，才应尝试滑入一垒。跑过一垒比在大学棒球和垒球运动员中滑行要快得多。只有在避免被外野手标记或与外野手发生碰撞时，才应尝试滑入一垒。
