Effectiveness of an 8-week Posterior Shoulder Stretch Program on Varsity-level Overhead Athletes
To Determine whether an eight-week posterior shoulder stretch was effective in increasing dominant arm internal rotation(IR) and horizontal adduction (HAd) range of motion (ROM) in a group of overhead athletes identified as having tightness of their posterior shoulder structures.
