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…

Isokinetic Assessment of Shoulder Joint Strength Ratios in Male Recreational Weightlifters: A Cross-Sectional Study

The results suggested that the recreational weightlifting exercises place trainees at risk of muscle imbalances and the restoration of a normal concentric abductor/adductor and external rotator/internal rotator strength ratios may decrease the risk of possible shoulder injury.

Shoulder Joint and Muscle Characteristics in the Recreational Weight Training Population

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.

Clinical descriptive measures of shoulder range of motion for a healthy, young and physically active cohort

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.

Shoulder external rotation, elbow pronation and wrist extension were found to be the most important ROMs for the efficient and safe performance of CPCM.

Range of Motion Adaptations in Powerlifters

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.

The Effect of Strength Training on Undetected Shoulder Pathology in Asymptomatic Athletes: An MRI Observational Study

The research results show that strength is associated with MRI-documented AC joint pathology, however, it appears that RT may not negatively affect other anatomical structures of the shoulder.

EFFECT OF ACTIVE VS. PASSIVE END-RANGE DETERMINATION ON SHOULDER AXIAL ROTATION IN THROWER ATHLETES

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.

An analysis of the diagnostic accuracy of the Hawkins and Neer subacromial impingement signs.

It is concluded that the Neer and Hawkins signs are sensitive for appearances suggestive of subacromial bursitis and rotator cuff partial or complete tearing with a high negative predictive value, however, they lack specificity in comparison with arthroscopic findings.
