Summary

This study looks at whether bruxism (teeth grinding) is linked to changes in muscle function and a higher risk of injuries, especially in the shoulder, among amateur athletes. Researchers will measure muscle tone, stiffness, and strength in 120 swimmers and handball players. They will also track past sports injuries and factors like stress and sleep quality to understand the connection better.
