An interventional study of PNF training in Healthy, sponsored by Universidad Europea de Madrid. Not yet recruiting at 1 site in Spain. Open to male participants aged 18 Years to 40 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-06-15.

It has been shown that 90% of swimmers experience shoulder pain at some point in their career. During the macrocycle, swimmers present significant alterations in the muscular balance between external and internal rotators of the shoulder: the IR assumes much prominence in strength levels and RE goes progressively weaker.
furthermore, all overhead athletes (such as swimmers) present a glenohumeral Internal Rotation Deficit and an increase in External Rotation.
The objective of this study is to propose an exercise with an elastic band aimed to strengthening the RE of the shoulder to analyze the effects on the muscular balance between IR and RE. In addition, the effect caused in the limitation of internal rotation is going to be studied
Universidad Europea de Madrid is the lead sponsor of 94 studies on the registry; 22 are open to participants now.
