Brief Summary

Shoulder injuries are usual in volleyball players. Nowadays, few prospective studies assessed risk factors of shoulder injuries in this sport. So, the objective of this study is to assess the risk factors of injuries in youth volleyball players. For that purpose, the following factors will be taken into consideration : shoulder internal/external rotators strength, shoulder range of motion, scapular dyskinesis, functional tests (medicine ball throw and upper quarter Y balance test), training load and psychosocial factors (POMS questionnaire).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (7)

  • Shoulder internal/external rotation range of motion

    Range of motion will be measured in degrees

    1 month

  • Scapular dyskinesis

    "yes/no" method

    1 month

  • Internal/external rotators strength

    Strength of internal and external rotators will be assessed in concentric (60°/s and 240°/s) and in eccentric (60°/s) modes with an isokinetic device (Cybex Norm).

    1 month

  • Upper Quarter Y Balance test

    The score obtained will be measured in cm and normalized by upperlimb length

    1 month

  • Medicine ball throw

    A 800g medicine throw will have to be thrown as far as possible and the score will be measured in meters

    1 month

  • Psychosocial factors

    Questionnaire POMS will have to be filled in by the participants each month

    up to 8 months

  • Shoulder injuries

    Participants will have to mention each month the injuries or pain they had during the previous month at shoulder location

    up to 8 months
