Shoulder Endurance Assessment in Upper Limb Athletes

The objective of this study is to explore the relationship between two different "fatigue tests" (Xco Endurance Test and Shoulder Endurance Test) and strength/endurance of shoulder rotators muscles, measured with an isokinetic device.

The tests will be organized during two different sessions, in a randomized order. One session will be dedicated to isokinetic evaluation. The other one will include the performance of the two functional tests.

Who can participate

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Age between 18 and 28 years
  • To practice an overhead sports, at least 5 hours a week

Exclusion criteria

  • Any shoulder surgery history
  • Any shoulder pain
  • Any shoulder injury during the last 6 months

Treatment and study plan

Realization of the 3 tests

Other

The participants will have to perform the isokinetic evaluation during one session and the two functional tests during another session. Those sessions will be separated by 14 days.

Primary outcomes

  1. Shoulder rotators strength

    Time frame: through study completion, 6 months

    Shoulder rotators strength (IR, ER) will be measured with isokinetic dynamometer

  2. Shoulder rotators work

    Time frame: through study completion, 6 months

    Shoulder rotators work (IR, ER) will be measured with isokinetic dynamometer

  3. Shoulder Endurance Test

    Time frame: through study completion, 6 months

    Time until exhaustion (in seconds) will be measured

  4. Xco Endurance Test

    Time frame: through study completion, 6 months

    Time until exhaustion (in seconds) will be measured
