Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Experimental Group: Participants in this group will undergo the intervention
Participants for the injury prevention program
Other: Injury prevention workout
The injury prevention workout consisted on engaging on a prevention program from 1 day to 8 weeks where the participants will develop functional sport exercises to prevent shoulder injuries or pain in overhead sports.
No Intervention: Control group
Participant with same training program that will not be involved in the intervention although they will follow same specific sport practice

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Shoulder ROM
Time Frame: From enrollment to the end of the intervention at 8 weeks. Follow-up at 12-weeks
Shoulder rotational range of movement will be measured made by a single experienced examiner with the IMU Output Capture (Output V2 Unit, Ireland). The IMU will be calibrated prior to ROM testing according to the device instructions. The IMU will be securely attached to the participant's forearm with a self-adhering strap, 10 cm distal to the lateral epicondyle. Measurements will be sent wirelessly to a tablet and subsequently transferred to the Output Hub specific software to calculate ROM
From enrollment to the end of the intervention at 8 weeks. Follow-up at 12-weeks
Muscle RMS
Time Frame: From enrollment to the end of the intervention at 8 weeks. Follow-up at 12-weeks
Escapular complex muscular activation EMG recording will be measured with the mDurance® device (mDurance® Solutions SL, Granada, Spain). The mDurance® system consisted of an EMG Shimmer3 unit (Realtime TechnologiesLtD, Dublin, Ireland). Muscles-activity data were obtained using a validated surface electromyography (EMG) system. This novel system includes a us-er-friendly software, and a light hardware, which make it more affordable and accessible for clinicians and sport trainers. The mDurance® system consisted of an EMG Shimmer3 unit (Realtime TechnologiesLtD, Dublin, Ireland). The unit has a bipolar surface elec-tromyography bipolar sensor for the acquisition of muscle activity. Each Shimmer3 has two channels, with a sampling rate of 1024 Hz applying a bandwidth of 8.4 Hz, and a 24-bit signal with an overall amplification of 100 to10,000 v/v [41]. This device is valid and reliable for recording muscle activity during a functional task (ICC = 0.916; 95% CI = 0.831-0.958)
From enrollment to the end of the intervention at 8 weeks. Follow-up at 12-weeks
Muscles Asymetries
Time Frame: From enrollment to the end of the intervention at 8 weeks. Follow-up at 12-weeks
Diferences in % the muscle activation of the interescapular muscle complex by EMG. These recording will be also performed with the mDurance® device (mDurance® Solutions SL, Granada, Spain). The mDurance® system consisted of an EMG Shimmer3 unit (Realtime TechnologiesLtD, Dublin, Ireland) . This device is valid and reliable for recording muscle activity during a functional task (ICC = 0.916
From enrollment to the end of the intervention at 8 weeks. Follow-up at 12-weeks
Shoulder proprioception
Time Frame: From enrollment to the end of the intervention at 8 weeks. Follow-up at 12-weeks
The Ability of recognizing a specific glenohumeral rotational range of movement degrees we will use the IMU Output Capture (Output V2 Unit, Ireland). The IMU was calibrated prior to ROM testing according to the device instructions. The IMU was securely attached to the participant's forearm with a self-adhering strap, 10 cm distal to the lateral epicondyle. Measurements were sent wirelessly to a tablet and subsequently transferred to the Output Hub specific software to calculate ROM
From enrollment to the end of the intervention at 8 weeks. Follow-up at 12-weeks
