Accepts healthy volunteers: no
Allocation: NON_RANDOMIZED
Intervention model: PARALLEL
Intervention model description: In total, 200 individuals aged between 17-25 years, who had no neurological and orthopedic problems participated. Individuals who had surgical stabilization, previous shoulder complex fractures, positive impingement test results, and systemic diseases were excluded. Participants were categorized into the Regular Exercising (n = 100) and Sedentary (n = 100) Groups. The young adults who were using the fitness center by their preference (unprofessional), and who were regularly exercising, were included in the Regular Exercising Group. The volunteer young adults who were not exercising were included in the Sedentary Group. All participants gave written-informed consent before participation, and the study protocol conformed to the standards for human experiments set by the Declaration of Helsinki and was approved by Ethics Committee for Human Investigations of Mustafa Kemal University Ethics Committee (4298783/05022/4).
Primary purpose: PREVENTION

Brief summary: Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of regular exercising on scapular muscle endurance and shoulder pain in young individuals.

Methods: Participants' clinical and sociodemographic properties recorded, scapular muscle endurance assessed with Scapular Muscular Endurance (SME) test, and shoulder pain severity questioned using the Visual Analogue Scale.

Detailed description: Background: Serratus Anterior and Trapezius muscles are the most important stabilizers of the scapulothoracic joint. The inadequate endurance of these muscles plays an important role in the decreased neuromuscular performance.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of regular exercising on scapular muscle endurance and shoulder pain in young individuals.

Methods: Participants' clinical and sociodemographic properties recorded, scapular muscle endurance assessed with Scapular Muscular Endurance (SME) test, and shoulder pain severity questioned using the Visual Analogue Scale.
