Brief Summary

This study is planned to examine the relationship between Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability Test (CKCUEST) performance with Posterior Shoulder Endurance Test in healthy young adults. Both tests are frequently used in athletes, but their use in sedentary people is not common in the literature. The feasibility of using these tests in sedentary people is not clear.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability Test (CKCUEST) Performance

  Within 15 seconds, the total number of touches is noted. A total of 3 measurements are taken with a 45-second rest break

  4 weeks

• Posterior Shoulder Endurance Test Performance

  Participants will lie face down. While the shoulder is hanging from the stretcher, individuals will be asked to lift the dumble calculated with the weight appropriate for their weight to 90 degrees abduction in accordance with the 60 bpm metronome. The time they can continue will be noted. 1 measurement will be made with each arm.

  4 weeks

Study Arms (2)

Active young adult

Participants will be assess with International Physical Activity Questionnaire(IPAQ-SF), which measures the duration of vigorous and moderate activity, walking and sitting over the previous 7 days. After they are done with the questionnaire, if they have \>3000 MET/week score they will be considered as highly active group.

Diagnostic Test: Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability Test (CKCUEST), and Posterior Shoulder Endurance Test

Sedentary young adult

Participants will be assess with International Physical Activity Questionnaire(IPAQ-SF), which measures the duration of vigorous and moderate activity, walking and sitting over the previous 7 days. After they are done with the questionnaire, if they have \<600 MET/week score they will be considered as sedentary group.

Interventions

Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability Test (CKCUEST), and Posterior Shoulder Endurance Test DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

The modified closed kinetic chain upper extremity stability test is reliable and is performed in an individualized manner by placing the hands on the floor at shoulder level. The evaluation process is the same as the original test; the total number of touches in 15 seconds is noted by lifting one hand, touching the other and placing it back. A total of 3 measurements are taken with a 45-second rest interval. The endurance capacity of the muscle group is an important factor for sports performance as it requires specific sports movements repeated in a certain period of time. For posterior shoulder endurance test participants will lie with their face down. While the shoulder is hanging from the stretcher, individuals will be asked to lift the dumble calculated with the weight appropriate for their weight to 90 degrees abduction in accordance with the 60 bpm metronome. Their duration in seconds will be noted. 1 measurement will be made with each arm.
