Summary

This study looks at whether 8 weeks of kettlebell training can reduce pain and improve shoulder function better than standard rehab. It involves 38 adults with rotator cuff-related shoulder pain who have been active in sports for at least 3 years. Participants will be randomly assigned to kettlebell training or a standard rehab program, and their progress will be measured through pain scores, strength tests, and performance tasks.
