Assessment included shoulder pathology screening tests
Ultrasound measurements taken at specified distances from the humerus's highest point
Significant difference in tendon thickness between males and females
Males had thicker tendons than females at various measurement points
Within-gender comparisons also showed significant differences in tendon thickness measurements
