Brief Summary

30 water polo players will be included in this study. It will be divided into 2 groups as the scapular stabilization exercise group and the control group. Scapular stabilization exercise group; 1\) Squat with a towel slide on the wall 2) Wall push-ups with one leg extension 3) Cross squat 4) Elastic band pull while one leg squats 5) Double leg squat exercises will be given. These exercises will be 8 weeks and 3 days a week. The measurements of the exercises will be taken before the first session and at the end of the last session of the 8th week. Without giving exercise to the control group, only measurements will be taken in the 1st and 8th weeks. The study will take place in Burhan Felek Swimming Pool. Measurement evaluation tests;

1. 1.Arm, Shoulder and Hand Problems Questionnaire (DASH): It is a questionnaire used to determine the levels of upper extremity functionality.
2. 2.Proprioception measurement: Digital goniometer device, which includes the use of constant gravity as a reference point to evaluate joint mobility, will be considered as active and passive repetitive positioning.
3. 3.Measurement of muscle strength: The measurement will be made using a hand-held manual dynamometer J-TEC for isometric muscle strength evaluation.
4. 4.Sitting medicine ball throwing (OSTA): The distance the participant throws the ball while in the long sitting position will be measured in "meters".

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand Questionnaire (DASH)

  In the first part of the questionnaire, there are 20 questions on physical competence and in the following, of the questionnaire there are 10 questions on pain and a total of 30 questions evaluating the functional and environmental limitation as a outcome of it. In the second part of the questionnaire, there is a module consists of 4 questions for athletes-musicians who want high performance. There are 5 answer options in each item. The scores resulting from the answers given for all items of the questionnaire will be summed up and calculated. When the score gets higheri the degree of disability also gets higher.

  Change between baseline and 8 weeks

• Proprioception Measurement

  Digital goniometer device, which includes the use of constant gravity as a reference point to evaluate joint mobility, will be considered as active and passive repetitive positioning. researcher will initially bring the extremity to the target angle and wait there for a minimum of ten seconds for the patient to recall this position. Then the extremity will be placed in the starting position. The patient will be asked to actively bring his extremity back to the target angle or passively bring it to the previously determined angle. The deviation from the target angle (angular error) will be recorded.

  Change between baseline and 8 weeks

• Muscle Strength Measurement

  The measurement will be made using a hand-held manual dynamometer J-TEC for isometric muscle strength evaluation. Measurement will be applied to shoulder area flexion-extension, abduction-adduction, internal rotation-external rotation muscle groups

  Change between baseline and 8 weeks

• Throwing medicine ball in sitting position

  The distance the participant throws the ball while in the long sitting position will be measured in 'meters'.

  Change between baseline and 8 weeks

Study Arms (2)

Scapular Stabilization Group

EXPERIMENTAL

In the study, Adalar Water Sports Club (AWSK) takes places with its A team players; 15 players aged from 16-25 as the scapular stabilization group. The players in the scapular stabilization group will be applied scapular stabilization exercises for 8 weeks, 3 days a week in company with a physiotherapist. As stabilization exercises for the players; 1)Squatting while sliding a towel on the wall, 2)Wall push-ups with one leg extension, 3)Cross squat, 4)Pulling elastic band while squatting on one leg, 5)Double-leg squatting

Other: Scapular Stabilization Group
