Summary

This study looked at 64 tennis players to see if shoulder pain is linked to weaker breathing muscles and changes in the diaphragm. Participants were split into two groups: those with shoulder pain and those without. Researchers measured breathing strength and diaphragm thickness using simple tests and ultrasound. The goal was to understand the connection, not to test a treatment.
