About

57% of young female handball players experience shoulder pain. This pain is likely to affect training and performance, but most players continue to play despite it. Endurance of the shoulder lateral rotators is a risk factor for sports such as handball. A protocol for applying the Shoulder Endurance Test (SET) to assess the endurance of the lateral rotators of the shoulder has been proposed, but the authors stress the need for further research to validate this test in different sports and for different populations.

The purpose of the study was to determine normative values for the Shoulder Endurance Test in female handball players aged 14 to 18 in intensive training facilities.
