About this study

After registering participant's randomization will be done through sealed envelope method and will be allocated in both groups equally. Group 1 will receive passive static stretching while group 2 will receive active static stretching. All subjects will be assessed before the intervention through likert muscle soreness scale, Numeric Rating Pain Scale and range of motion for Shoulder, elbow, and wrist by a Goniometer. After that all subjects will perform eccentric exhaust weight exercises in the gym of all mentioned joints, three sets at each joint. Before giving the intervention they will assess of all mentioned parameters. Group 1 groups will perform passive static stretching and group 2 will perform active static stretching. At the end of the intervention participants will be assessed again using the same parameters. Statistical analysis will be carried out to compare the outcomes measures of both groups.

    Time frame: 8 weeks

    Assesses the subjective intensity of pain; ages 18 and above

  2. Goniometer

    Time frame: 8 weeks

    A goniometer is an instrument which measures the available range of motion at a joint.

  3. Likert muscle Soreness Scale

    Time frame: 8 weeks

    Scale Description 0 An absence of soreness

    • A light pain felt only when touched / a vague ache
    • A moderate pain felt only when touched / a slight persistent pain
    • A light pain when walking up or down stairs
