Study Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to understand acute tendon changes after two exercise programs. We will invite individuals with and without shoulder pain to participate in this study. Every individual will participate in both exercise programs separated by up to 15 days. The researcher will evaluate the shoulder tendon using ultrasound before each exercise program and at 1 hour, 6 hours and 24 hours after each exercise program. The researcher will also evaluate self reported pain, pain sensitivity testing, and self reported questionnaires. We will compare the tendon changes after each exercise program, as well as between participants with and without shoulder pain.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Supraspinatus tendon thickness
Time Frame: From enrollment to 1 hour, 6 hours, and 24 hours after each exercise program.
The investigators will use ultrasound to take pictures of the supraspinatus tendons. Established ultrasound procedures will be used to measure supraspinatus tendon thickness.
Secondary Outcomes
- Pain sensitivity testing(From enrollment to 1 hour, 6 hours, and 24 hours after each exercise program.)
- Self-reported pain(From enrollment to 1, 6, and 24 hours after each exercise program.)
