Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• 1 repetition maximum bench press test (1RM)

  The participant laid in a supine position with chin at the level of the padded surface of the bench. The starting position is when the hands are grasped slightly wider (\~5cm) than the shoulder width and arms fully extended. From this position the weights pulled upwards with the elbows leading the barbell struck the underside of the bench and lowered to starting position. The posture to be adapted in bench press is as follows subject lays supine on the bench with eyes to be locked on the bar and the feet were planted on the ground with the lumbar region arched. The hand grip is to be 1.5 times the shoulder's width. The barbell is to be removed from the rack, lowered and to be paused briefly before being racked. A spotter is to be always placed behind the athlete

  8 weeks

• Repetitive push up test

  The push up floor exercise is to be performed on a flat, stable surface, with the hands placed wider than the shoulder width. The body is aligned to the floor. For the repetition to be counted the athlete must go in a full range of motion, and the formation of 900 at the elbow at the end of the eccentric phase of the exercise

  8 weeks

• Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability Test (CKCUES Test)

  CKCUEST is used for the evaluation of upper extremity strength, endurance and closed kinetic chain. The execution of the test is as follows. In push up position the two hands are to be placed at 90 cm, then one hand is to extend, and reach touch the other hands within a time of 15 seconds

  8 weeks

• Upper extremity Y-Balance Test

  The YBT is a simple balance testing method to identify injury risks and functional asymmetries in an athlete. Each upper extremity is tested separately. The 3 lines each have a 1350 angle. The participant is placed in a push up position with the base of the proximal 3rd metacarpophalangeal joint placed at the center of the y balance board. The participant moves the hand in all 3 directions (medial, inferolateral and superolateral directions) as shown in the second figure below.
