Overview

This analysis reveals links between sprint-paddling performance, shoulder function, and upper-body strength in female surfers, suggesting implications for training.

Key Points

  • Excellent reliability was established for average force during tethered paddling, indicating strong consistency across sessions.
  • Significant inverse associations were found between shoulder range and sprint-paddle force, showing that flexibility impacts performance.
  • The study highlights the need for further research into shoulder function with a larger group of strength-trained surfers.
  • Maximal pull-up strength did not show associations with paddle performance, suggesting other factors may influence sprinting ability.
