Summary

This study will compare the effects of two exercise interventions, pendulum exercises and serratus punches, on rotator cuff pain and injury in badminton players. Using a randomized clinical trial with participants from local clubs, the research will evaluate pain levels, range of motion, and shoulder function after a set period of regular, supervised exercises. The results aim to provide evidence-based insights for effective rehabilitation programs tailored to badminton athletes, supporting better recovery and injury prevention.

Interventions

OTHER

Pendulum Exercises

In this group, 18 participants will perform pendulum exercises, which involve leaning forward and allowing the affected arm to hang down, swinging it gently in small circular or side-to-side motions. This exercise is designed to enhance shoulder mobility and promote relaxation of the rotator cuff muscles without straining the shoulder joint. The pendulum movement helps improve circulation and relieve tension in the shoulder area, making it a suitable intervention for individuals experiencing rotator cuff pain.

OTHER

Serratus Punch Exercises

In this group, 18 participants will engage in serratus punch exercises, focusing on strengthening the serratus anterior muscle. Participants will perform a punching motion by extending the arm forward while maintaining shoulder stability. This exercise activates the shoulder muscles to enhance scapular control, supporting the rotator cuff and improving overall shoulder function. The goal is to build strength in the stabilizing muscles, which can help alleviate pain and enhance mobility in participants suffering from rotator cuff issues.
