10-minute Cryotherapy Application
A cold application will be made on the shoulder for 10 minutes. Before and after the application, individuals will be evaluated in terms of muscle strength, flexibility, endurance and balance. The values before and after the application will be compared.
Cryotherapy application
The temperature sense test was applied on the dominant side shoulder of the participants against the risk of sensory loss or decreased sensation. In order to test cold intolerance, a cold pack was placed on the forearm of the individuals. After waiting 2-3 minutes, the region was evaluated. Individuals meeting the inclusion criteria were assigned to the groups according to the randomization list created by the computer. Then, the participants' shoulder isometric muscle strength, shoulder flexibility, shoulder endurance and shoulder balance was evaluated. Except for shoulder endurance, all measurements were repeated three times, with a 30-second rest period between each repetition. A 2-3-minute rest period was given after each test. Then, the cold pack was wrapped in a thin and wet cloth on the shoulders of the participants. The treated area was checked every 5 minutes and the participants were asked to say when they felt any unusual symptoms.
15-minute Cryotherapy Application
A cold application will be made on the shoulder for 15 minutes. Before and after the application, individuals will be evaluated in terms of muscle strength, flexibility, endurance and balance. The values before and after the application will be compared.

A cold application will be made on the shoulder for 20 minutes. Before and after the application, individuals will be evaluated in terms of muscle strength, flexibility, endurance and balance. The values before and after the application will be compared.
