Study Overview
Brief Summary
Studies have shown improvement in the performance when incorporating the spinal rotational training. However has been no intervention to understand the effect of spinal rotational training on rotational performance, periscapular muscular stiffness.
It is a non-randomized controlled trial with a duration of 9 months. Healthy participants are selected under specific criteria, and after obtaining their consent, the study will be conducted. Participants in the intervention group will come for total of 12 sessions in a span of 4 weeks. The control group will continue with their own training or no training if they don,t train.
Pre and post intervention data is collected for rotational performance and periscapular muscular stiffness.
