简要总结
The aim of the study is to determine the Comparative effects of Reciprocal Inhibition and Static Stretching on Serratus anterior Muscle on Pain, range of Motion, and Functional ability among Female Amateur Athletes
详细描述
There is an absence of extensive studies comparing the effects of reciprocal inhibition and static stretching specifically on the serratus anterior muscle among female amateur athletes. While some research exists on the general effects of these techniques, there is a gap in gender-specific studies and their application to amateur athletes. By conducting more detailed research in this area, we can better understand how these affect athletes, their pain levels, range of motion, and overall functional ability. This would provide valuable insights for designing warm-up routines and optimizing performance for female amateur athletes.

研究组 & 干预措施
Reciprocal inhibition
First Subjects will start doing baseline warmup exercises which are mentioned then they will perform reciprocal inhibition of the serratus muscle in side-lying. After identifying the antagonist muscles of the serratus anterior, which are typically the rhomboids or the middle and lower trapezius. Athletes will perform a gentle contraction of the antagonist's muscles by retracting or squeezing their shoulder blades together. While the antagonist muscles are contracting, we will ask the athlete to simultaneously relax and lengthen the serratus anterior muscle. The patient can achieve this by protracting or pushing their shoulder blades forward and away from each other.
干预措施: Reciprocal inhibition (Other)
Static Stretching
After performing baseline warmup exercises, Athlete will perform 2 exercises Standing wall stretch and seated cross body stretch
干预措施: Static stretching (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
Pain scale
时间窗: 6 weeks
For measuring pain, the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) will be used. The 11-point numeric scale ranges from '0' representing one pain extreme (e.g. "no pain") to '10' representing the other pain extreme (e.g. "pain as bad as you can imagine" or "worst pain imaginable"). This will be asked prior to exercise and after 6 weeks .
Range of motion
时间窗: 6 weeks
It will be assessed using a goniometer for the shoulder before starting the exercises and after 6 weeks.
Upper Extremity Functional Scale
时间窗: 6 weeks
It is a questionnaire related to daily activities which are asked by athletes who have upper extremity issues to check in which activity they are facing issues.
