Summary

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.

Conditions

• Shoulder Pain
• Sports Physical Therapy

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Athletic Shoulder (ASH) and Inverse Athletic Shoulder (IASH) Tests	Participants perform the Athletic Shoulder (ASH) test and Inverse Athletic Shoulder (IASH) test to measure maximal isometric shoulder strength in three positions (180º, 135º, 90º) during two separate sessions. Data is used to assess test reliability and validity for high-performance swimmers.
