The purpose of this study was to compare shoulder range-of-motion (ROM) and strength values between bodybuilders and nonbodybuilders. Fifty-four men (29 bodybuilders and 25 nonbodybuilders) between the ages of 21 and 34 years participated in the study. Goniometric measurements were used to assess shoulder flexion and internal and external rotation ROM. Isometric manual muscle tests were performed using a handheld dynamometer. Shoulder flexion, internal and external rotation, abduction, and… Expand

Kinematic comparison and description of the 3-dimensional shoulder kinematics of 2 shoulder rotation tests.
TLDR
The results of the present study showed that, in young asymptomatic participants with no known shoulder pathology, the end-range of shoulder rotation was similar in the HBN test and in a standard shoulder rotation test, suggesting that the Hbn test may be used to assess the end of the glenohumeral external rotation.

The relationship between joint range of motion, muscular strength, and race time for sub-elite flat water kayakers.
TLDR
The aim of this research was to quantify the flexibility and strength of sub-elite kayakers and then determine the relationship of this data to performance race times, identifying the poor relationship between current dry land training activities and race performance. Expand
The Scapular Contribution to the Amplitude of Shoulder External Rotation on Throwing Athletes
TLDR
A positive correlation was found between scapular spinal tilt and TH and GH angles at the end-range of ER, and on volleyball players, the scapula assumed a position of posterior spinal tilt when the humerus was positioned more in external rotation. Expand
Shoulder Joint and Muscle Characteristics in the Recreational Weight Training Population
TLDR
The findings of this investigation suggest that RWT participants are predisposed to strength and mobility imbalances as a result of training and should consider the biomechanical stresses and adaptations associated with RWT when prescribing upper-extremity exercises. Expand
Clinical descriptive measures of shoulder range of motion for a healthy, young and physically active cohort
TLDR
These original data provide descriptive measures for shoulder complex ROM excursions, assisting sports medicine practitioners in potentially identifying clinical deficiencies and functional outcomes following shoulder injury. Expand
Range of Motion Adaptations in Powerlifters
TLDR
Overall, powerlifters displayed decreased GH ROM, but increased hamstring ROM, after training programs that were heavily focused on the bench press, back squat, and deadlift. Expand
Comparison of shoulder strength in males with and without myofascial trigger points in the upper trapezius
TLDR
Findings suggest that decreased strength in the shoulder abductor with restricted scapular elevation should be considered in evaluating and treating individuals with myofascial trigger points of the upper trapezius. Expand
An Evaluation of Agonist: Antagonist Strength Ratios and Posture Among Powerlifters
TLDR
Examining the agonist:antagonist strength ratios and their relationship to postural measures among powerlifters found that strength imbalances, including shoulder horizontal adduction:abduction and knee flexion:extension, and a shortened pectoralis minor may evolve as training adaptations among power lifters, whereas thoracic kyphosis, pelvic tilt, and lumbar lordosis remain unchanged. Expand
EFFECT OF ACTIVE VS. PASSIVE END-RANGE DETERMINATION ON SHOULDER AXIAL ROTATION IN THROWER ATHLETES
TLDR
The effect of active or passive end-range determination on shoulder axial rotation is unclear on overhead-throwing athletes and no differences were found between groups for all humeral and scapular variables. Expand
An Analysis of the Ratio and Relationship Between Upper Body Pressing and Pulling Strength

  • Mathematics, Medicine
  • Journal of strength and conditioning research
  • 2004
TLDR
The purpose of this study was to determine if two popular field tests of strength could be used to assess a concise strength balance in roughly opposing muscle actions for the shoulder girdle, and whether athletes should exhibit a concise ratio of around 100% if pressing and pulling strength have been addressed fairly equally in training.
