Brief Summary

The goal of this Randomized control trial is to determine ''Effects of ballistic exercises on pain, disability and explosive strength in tennis players with shoulder pain''. The main question it aims to answer is: To determine effect of ballistic exercises on pain, disability and explosive strength in tennis players with shoulder pain. Participants will be divided into 2 groups. Group-A will be treated with stretching and simple baseline strengthening of the upper limb through any regular mean (like TheraBand) in a moderate manner with 10 to 20 repetitions for 3 days per week for six weeks. Group B will be treated with stretching and then strengthening of the upper limb through ballistic six exercises from a moderate to intense manner with 3 sets of 10 repetitions with a 30sec gap between sets, 3 sets of 15 repetitions with a 30sec gap between sets, and 3 sets of 20 repetitions with a 30sec gap between sets for 3 to 4 days per week for six weeks.

Shoulder Pain

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Push-ups and Pull ups test (for shoulder strength)

  The push-up fitness test (also called the press-up test) measures upper body strength and endurance. There are many variations of the push-up test, with differences in the placement of the hands, how far to dip, the duration of the test, and the method of counting the number of completed push-ups. Here we discuss the general method for the push-up test and link to specific push-up fitness tests. Its reliability is 0.93.

  6 weeks

• Numeric Pain Rating scale

  The Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) is a subjective measure in which individuals rate their pain on an eleven-point numerical scale. The scale is composed of 0 (no pain at all) to 10 (worst imaginable pain).

  6 weeks

• Quick DASH Questionaries

  The purpose of the Quick DASH is to use 11 items to measure physical function and symptoms in people with any or multiple musculoskeletal disorders of the upper limb. The Quick DASH is a widely used reference for self-reported disability.
