Brief Summary

Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of thrower's ten exercises on the upper extremity performance in healthy sedentary individuals. Method: 36 healthy sedentary men and women aged 18-35 years will be included in the study. Subjects will be divided into two groups: exercise and control. The exercise group will be given Thrower's Ten training sessions 3 times a week over an 8-week period. Before and after the study, the subjects were tested for dynamic balance on the upper extremity with the Upper Limp Y balance test and for explosive power with the medicine ball throw test. Moreover, the strength of the shoulder rotator muscles was measured with an isokinetic dynamometer at a speed of 60º/sec.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in the level of upper extremity strength assessed by an isokinetic dynamometer (Cybex Norm).

    During all tests, participants will be encouraged verbally and visually. The forces of the upper extremity will be measured with an isokinetic dynamometer and an angular velocity of 5 repetitions at 60 ° / sec. Before the actual exam, subjects will allowed to make 3 trials. The test results will be recorded for the dominant side.

    At the beginning and at the end of 8 weeks.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in the level of upper extremity explosive strength assessed by a seated medicine ball throw (SMBT) test.

    At the beginning and at the end of 8 weeks.

Other Outcomes (1)

  • Change in the level of upper extremity balance assessed using Upper Quarter Y Balance Test (UQYBT)

    At the beginning and at the end of 8 weeks.

Study Arms (2)
