Overview

Functional assessment demonstrates optimal shoulder adaptations in adolescent female volleyball players, suggesting healthy joint mechanics without pre-season pathology.

Key Points

  • Shoulder girdle adaptations feature increased external rotation alongside reduced internal rotation, preserving sport-specific performance without pathology.
  • An external rotation to internal rotation muscle strength ratio of 0.94 was maintained bilaterally, while dynamic stability remained symmetrical across both upper extremities.
  • Assessment of shoulder range of movements and peak isometric strength was conducted in 15 qualified adolescent female players, paired with dynamic stability testing.
  • Highlights that shoulder girdle adaptations remain functional during pre-season training, supporting overhead spiking demands without inducing pathological instability.
