Interventions

Posterior Shoulder Endurance Test DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Isometric posterior shoulder endurance test: In the prone position, the athlete's shoulder will be placed at horizontal abduction, and the time for maintaining this position will be recorded. Isotonic shoulder endurance test: In the prone position, the athlete's shoulder will be placed at horizontal abduction and asked to perform horizontal adduction-abduction, and the athlete will horizontally abducted-adducted his/her arm to 90 degrees at a cadence of 30 beats per minute. The number of repetitions will be recorded.

Athletes with shoulder pain; Athletes without shoulder pain
