Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To evaluate and describe the effect of performing an integrated injury prevention exercises on the variables considered as injury risk factors in overhead athletes

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

To evaluate and describe the effect of performing fast or 6-8 weeks injury prevention programs on the variables considered as injury risk factors in overhead athletes as glenohumeral rotational range of motion or muscle activation pattern and asymmetries.

Participants Investigators Outcome Assessors
Participants will be unaware of whether they belong to the experimental or control group. They will receive instructions on their workout regimen without information on the study's hypothesis regarding functional prevention training.

Individuals conducting pre- and post-intervention assessments (e.g., EMG analysis, ROM measurements, proprioception tests) will not be informed of the participant group allocation. This prevents bias in data collection and interpretation.

Data will be anonymized before analysis, and analysts will not have access to group identifiers during the statistical evaluation phase.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Experimental Group: Participants in this group will undergo the intervention

Participants for the injury prevention program

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Injury prevention workout

Intervention Type OTHER

The injury prevention workout consisted on engaging on a prevention program from 1 day to 8 weeks where the participants will develop functional sport exercises to prevent shoulder injuries or pain in overhead sports.

Control group

Participant with same training program that will not be involved in the intervention although they will follow same specific sport practice

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
