Summary

This study tested a new exercise method called Tendon Neuroplastic Training (TNT) in 26 wrestlers with shoulder tendinopathy. TNT uses a smartphone metronome to pace exercises, aiming to improve brain-muscle control. The goal was to see if it could boost shoulder function, balance, and mental performance better than standard exercises.
