Effect of the endurance protocol on shoulder strength using a high-standardized method during session one (n = 21).
| Mean | SD | Percentage of change | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Isometric maximal strength (kg) | Flexion | Baseline | 20.2 | 8.1 | |
| After protocol | 15.8* | 6.2 | - 22% | ||
| External Rotation | Baseline | 20.4 | 5.2 | ||
| After protocol | 16.9* | 4.4 | - 17% | ||
| Isokinetic mean peak torque (Nm) | External Rotation | Baseline | 21.4 | 7.6 | |
| After protocol | 21.3 | 7.8 | 0% | ||
| Internal Rotation | Baseline | 31.9 | 12.1 | ||
| After protocol | 31.4 | 12.0 | -2% | ||
| Total work during endurance protocol (J) | External Rotation | First Third | 395.7 | 189.1 | |
| Last Third | 245.2* | 86.4 | - 38% | ||
| Internal Rotation | First Third | 592.8 | 299.6 | ||
| Last Third | 339.8¶ | 153.4 | - 43% |
* Significant differences compared to the baseline strength measurements.
