About

To validate both the Athletic Shoulder (ASH) test, conducted on rugby players, and its inverse, the Inverse Athletic Shoulder (IASH) test, for swimmers. This involves assessing the strength relationship between shoulder flexion and extension at three different adduction angles (180º, 135º, 90º) to identify potential injuries associated with these imbalances.

Validation of ASH and IASH Tests in Swimmers

Other group

Description:

Participants perform the Athletic Shoulder (ASH) test and the Inverse Athletic Shoulder (IASH) test to assess isometric shoulder strength at different adduction angles (180º, 135º, 90º) over two sessions. Data is collected to evaluate the reliability and validity of these tests for swimmers.
