Table 1.

Peak torque for the internal and external rotator muscles and the horizontal abductor and adductor muscles of the shoulder at angular speeds of 60 and 120 degrees/s in athletes who had undergone surgical and non-surgical treatments.

Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation.

There were no significant differences between the groups (surgical or non-surgical) and the angular velocities (60 and 120 degrees/s); p>0.05.
