- Abstract
Purpose: It is believed that scapular positions can affect the athlete's performance and also can be related with shoulder injuries in sports which are the upper extremity predominantly used. Also sports injuries and sports performance The aim of this study was evaluate the effect of scapular positions on upper extremity explosive power in adolescent volleyball players. Methods: 60 adolescent volleyball players (32 female, 28 male) (age: 15.15±0.4 years, Body Mass Index: 20.17±2.31 kg/m2 ) participated in this study. The scapular position was measured at rest, 45°, 90° 135° and full abduction with an inclinometer. The explosive power was evaluated by medicine ball throw test overhead and chest level positions. Pearson correlation analysis was used to evaluate the relationship between the scapular position and explosive power. Results: On the dominant and non-dominant extremities, the scapular upward rotation position and the explosive power at the overhead and chest positions was found to be statistically significant in the positive direction correlation at the arm elevation between 135° and the final abduction angle (r= 0.301 p=0.02, r=0.313 p=0.01). There was no correlation between scapular upward rotation position and explosive power measured at rest, 45° and 90° arm elevation angles. Conclusion: This study showed that explosive power increased when scapular upward rotation degree is increased at the arm elevation above 90° in adolescent volleyball players. We suggest that exercises which are increasing the scapular upward rotation angle at overhead level should be include in the training programs.
