Shoulder Endurance Test: Normative Values in a Population of Female Handball Players Aged 14 to 18 in Intensive Training Structures.
A study testing Shoulder Endurance Test in people with Healthy Subjects 14 to 18 Years Old, run by University Hospital, Brest at 1 site in France.
Trial summary
57% of young female handball players experience shoulder pain. This pain is likely to affect training and performance, but most players continue to play despite it. Endurance of the shoulder lateral rotators is a risk factor for sports such as handball. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Shoulder Endurance Test : Valeurs Normatives Chez Une Population de Handballeuses de 14 à 18 Ans en Structures Intensives d'Entrainement. SET-HANDBALL
57% of young female handball players experience shoulder pain. This pain is likely to affect training and performance, but most players continue to play despite it. Endurance of the shoulder lateral rotators is a risk factor for sports such as handball. A protocol for applying the Shoulder Endurance Test (SET) to assess the endurance of the lateral rotators of the shoulder has been proposed, but the authors stress the need for further research to validate this test in different sports and for different populations.
The purpose of the study was to determine normative values for the Shoulder Endurance Test in female handball players aged 14 to 18 in intensive training facilities.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Shoulder Endurance TestDiagnostic test
Each patient receive the same intervention, the Shoulder Endurance Test (SET). The Shoulder Endurance Test assesses the endurance of the shoulder muscles in an open kinetic chain.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Intervention | Experimental | All subjects will perform the same tests. Receives: Diagnostic Test: Shoulder Endurance Test |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
To determine normative values for the Shoulder Endurance Test in female handball players aged 14 to 18.
Measured: Day 1
Secondary outcomes (4)
Assessing intra-examiner reliability
Evaluate intra-examiner reliability: on site SET score versus SET score on video analysis (carried out 2 months after the face-to-face test).
Measured: two months after the test
Assessing inter-examiner reliability
Evaluate inter-examiner reliability: SET score for operator 1 versus operator 2 based on analysis of videos
Measured: two months after the test
Determine the SET score on the non-dominant arm
Measured: Day 1
Evaluate the effort perceived during the test
Borg scale after SET
Measured: Day 1
