Shoulder Endurance Assessment in Upper Limb Athletes

Completed

• Conditions: Strength and Endurance

• Registration Number: NCT05536778
• Lead Sponsor: University of Liege

Brief Summary

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.
