Impact of Cervical Exercises During Simulated Game on Throwing Shoulder Motion and Strength

NCT06854692 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 20

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the impact of performing cervical exercises during a simulated game on shoulder range of motion and strength in collegiate baseball picthers. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Can performing cervical retraction/extension exercises help to maintain shoulder internal rotation range of motion in the throwing shoulder after a pitching session? Can performing cervical retraction/extension exercises help to maintain shoulder external rotation strength in the throwing shoulder after a pitching session?

Researchers will compare the effects of cervical retraction/extension exercises to no exercise to see if shoulder range of motion or strength is impacted.

Participants will perform end-range cervical retraction and cervical retraction with extension, holding the end-range of motion for 3 seconds and performing 10 repetitions of each exercise between each inning of a simulated 5-inning game.
