Brief Summary
|
This study aims to examine the relationship between scapular motion, strength of shoulder rotator muscles, and throwing distance in javelin throwers. Javelin throwing is a complex overhead activity that requires efficient scapular control and adequate shoulder strength for optimal performance. Alterations in scapular movement or weakness of shoulder rotators may reduce throwing efficiency and increase the risk of injury. In this observational cross-sectional study, scapular motion will be measured using a digital inclinometer, shoulder internal and external rotator strength will be assessed using a handheld dynamometer, and throwing distance will be evaluated using the javelin throw test. The findings of this study are expected to help in understanding how scapular mechanics and shoulder strength influence throwing performance and may assist in developing better training and rehabilitation strategies for javelin throwers.
