About

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of regular exercising on scapular muscle endurance and shoulder pain in young individuals.

Methods: Participants' clinical and sociodemographic properties recorded, scapular muscle endurance assessed with Scapular Muscular Endurance (SME) test, and shoulder pain severity questioned using the Visual Analogue Scale.

Full description

Background: Serratus Anterior and Trapezius muscles are the most important stabilizers of the scapulothoracic joint. The inadequate endurance of these muscles plays an important role in the decreased neuromuscular performance.

Methods: Participants' clinical and sociodemographic properties recorded, scapular muscle endurance assessed with Scapular Muscular Endurance (SME) test, and shoulder pain severity questioned using the Visual Analogue Scale.
