Summary

This study aims to establish normal values for a shoulder endurance test in female handball players aged 14 to 18. Many young players experience shoulder pain that can affect training and performance. By measuring how long the shoulder muscles can hold a position, researchers hope to identify those at higher risk and guide prevention strategies.
