Study Arms (2)

closed chain kinetic exercises

EXPERIMENTAL

The group participated in 6 weeks of training session lasting for 45-50 minutes.The individual was positioned standing with the elbow joint completely extended, palm on the wall, and shoulder flexion at a 90° angle

Other: closed kinetic chain exercises

Thrower's ten exercises

EXPERIMENTAL

Throwers ten exercise are used to improve strength and endurance of rotator cuff muscles and scapular stabilizers, pre and post assessment is done as my study will be randomized clinical trial , 5-10 minutes of warm up , 45 minutes of resistance training and 5-10 minutes of cool down is added.
