Experimenteel: Neural Mobilization
Participants assigned to this arm received upper extremity neural mobilization after completion of the standardized upper extremity fatigue protocol.
Neural mobilization techniques targeted the median, radial, and ulnar nerves and were applied during the recovery period before post-intervention outcome assessment.
|
Upper extremity neural mobilization was applied after the standardized fatigue protocol.
The intervention targeted the median, radial, and ulnar nerves using non-painful mobilization techniques.
Each technique was performed for 2 sets of 20 repetitions, with each repetition lasting approximately 1 to 3 seconds
|
|
Experimenteel: Dynamic Stretching
Participants assigned to this arm performed a structured dynamic stretching protocol after completion of the standardized upper extremity fatigue protocol.
The protocol included dynamic upper and lower body movements performed during the recovery period before post-intervention outcome assessment.
|
A structured dynamic stretching protocol was performed after the standardized fatigue protocol.
The protocol lasted approximately 10 minutes and included dynamic upper extremity and whole-body movements such as arm swings, arm crossovers, walking lunges with trunk rotation, lateral shuffling, heel kicks, inchworms, and modified shuttle movements.
|
|
Geen tussenkomst: Control
Participants assigned to this control arm rested passively after completion of the standardized upper extremity fatigue protocol.
No active recovery intervention was administered during the recovery period before post-intervention outcome assessment.

Alternate Hand Wall Toss Test
Tijdsspanne: Baseline, immediately after the fatigue protocol, and after the 15-minute recovery period
|
Hand-eye coordination was assessed using the Alternate Hand Wall Toss Test.
Participants stood 2 meters from a wall and repeatedly threw a ball against the wall, catching it with the opposite hand.
The number of successful catches completed within 30 seconds was recorded.
Higher scores indicate better hand-eye coordination performance.

Upper Quarter Y Balance Test
Tijdsspanne: Baseline, immediately after the fatigue protocol, and after the 15-minute recovery period
|
Upper quarter dynamic balance was assessed using the Upper Quarter Y Balance Test.
Participants maintained a push-up position and reached with the free hand in the medial, superolateral, and inferolateral directions.
Reach distances were recorded and used to calculate a composite score normalized to upper limb length.
Higher scores indicate better upper quarter dynamic balance performance.

Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability Test
Tijdsspanne: Baseline, immediately after the fatigue protocol, and after the 15-minute recovery period
|
Upper extremity functional performance was assessed using the Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability Test.
Participants performed alternating hand touches across two marked lines while maintaining a push-up position.
The number of touches completed within 15 seconds was recorded.
Higher scores indicate better upper extremity functional performance.
