About

The goal of this Randomized control trial is to determine ''Effects of ballistic exercises on pain, disability and explosive strength in tennis players with shoulder pain''. The main question it aims to answer is:

To determine effect of ballistic exercises on pain, disability and explosive strength in tennis players with shoulder pain.

Participants will be divided into 2 groups. Group-A will be treated with stretching and simple baseline strengthening of the upper limb through any regular mean (like TheraBand) in a moderate manner with 10 to 20 repetitions for 3 days per week for six weeks. Group B will be treated with stretching and then strengthening of the upper limb through ballistic six exercises from a moderate to intense manner with 3 sets of 10 repetitions with a 30sec gap between sets, 3 sets of 15 repetitions with a 30sec gap between sets, and 3 sets of 20 repetitions with a 30sec gap between sets for 3 to 4 days per week for six weeks.

Full description

Sporting events that necessitate the regular use of an upper limb necessitate the highest kinetic chain efficiency in this section. Dysfunction of the musculoskeletal system, coupled with failure in motor abilities, might expose adolescents to significant complaints of chronic conditions, especially for the shoulder.

Tennis players are prone to shoulder discomfort and injury. The particular reasons for such discomfort are unknown. Impingement at significant tennis positions and glenohumeral instability has never been examined in vivo dynamically. Injuries of the rotator cuff are a major source of discomfort and dysfunction among tennis players and other overhead athletes. The etiology of rotator cuff tears in tennis players is multifaceted, with microtrauma and internal impingement causing partial tears in younger athletes and degenerative full-thickness tears in older players
