Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Functional throwing performance index

  Functional ability of the shoulder joint will be assessed using FTPI. The subject stood 15ft from a target, a 1ftx1ft square on at a height of 4ft from the floor. The object of the test is to throw a standard leather ball into the target as many times as possible over 30 second trails. Before testing, subject's will perform 8 throws as a warm-up. Test began immediately after the warm-up consists of the subject 22 throwing the ball into the target, catching the rebound of the wall and repeating as many times as possible within 30 seconds. The FTPI is calculated as the number throws with in the target divided by total number of balls thrown.

• Medicine ball throw test

  Medicine ball throw test will be used to assess upper-body explosive power. Throwing distance will be measured by using the medicine ball throw test. In this test, participants will be instructed to throw a medicine ball as far as they could, in a walk stand position, holding the ball overhead with the dominant hand. The medicine ball will be used had a mass of 2 kg and diameter 56cm each subject performed 5 trials with 1 min rest between trails. The distance in meter to which the subject threw the medicine ball was measured with the measuring tape. The best of 5 trials will be taken and used for further analysis.

Study Arms (2)

plyometric push up exercises

EXPERIMENTAL

The subjects will starts with push-up position with hands on the floor, place slightly wider than shoulder width apart and their feet together. Keeping their back flat, slowly lower the body toward the ground. Then in one explosive movement, push-up and away from the floor as quickly as possible, bring their hands off the floor.

Other: plyometric push up exercises

swiss ball push up exercises

EXPERIMENTAL

The subjects will start with kneeling position so that they will face the ball. Place their hands on top of the ball so that they can bend their elbows towards the body. Straight the legs out and raise themselves slightly higher so that they can be on their toes. Stay in neutral position. Straighten their arms at the elbows, so that they can push themselves up from the ball.
