Abstract:
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to develop a preventive exercise protocol based on structural and functional changes present in shoulder joints of young throwing athletes. As a proof of concept, these changes were previously evaluated in a cross-section of high-performance junior javelin throwers. METHODS: Thirteen members of the German and Bavarian junior javelin squad (mean age 17.5 +/- 0.8 years) completed a systematic clinical examination, shoulder range of motion (ROM) measurement, a...     »
