Official title
Comparison of the Acute Effects of Different Warm-up Protocols on Shoulder Mobility, Muscle Stiffness, Muscle Power Performance, Shoulder Functional Ability and Shoulder Endurance in Overhead Athletes With Posterior Shoulder Tightness
Overview
The aim of this study is to investigate the immediate effects of different warm-up protocols on Shoulder mobility, Muscle stiffness, Muscle power performance, Shoulder functional ability and Shoulder endurance in overhead athletes with posterior shoulder tightness
Interventions
- Other Dynamic stretching
dynamic stretching: teach the participants movements that they can perform to warm up their soft tissues. - Other Static stretching and dynamic stretching
Static stretching: help patients do the movement that they\'re limited to stretch their soft tissue; Dynamic stretching: teach the participants movements that they can perform to warm up their soft tissues - Other Dynamic stretching and foam rolling
Dynamic stretching: teach the participants movements that they can perform to warm up their soft tissues; Foam rolling: Teach the participants how to use a massage ball so that they can perform movements to warm up their soft tissues
Primary outcome measures
- Passive range of motion [Time frame: Pre-intervention and post intervention (immediate effect)]
- Active range of motion [Time frame: Pre-intervention and post intervention (immediate effect)]
- Muscle stiffness [Time frame: Pre-intervention and post intervention (immediate effect)]
- Power performance [Time frame: Pre-intervention and post intervention (immediate effect)]
Secondary outcome measures (3)
- Functional performance - Y balance test upper quarter [Time frame: Pre-intervention and post intervention (immediate effect)]
- Functional performance - closed kinetic chain upper extremity stability test (CKCUEST) [Time frame: Pre-intervention and post intervention (immediate effect)]
- Shoulder endurance [Time frame: Pre-intervention and post intervention (immediate effect)]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
