Brief summary
Th principal objective is to compare the effect of a specific exercise program versus a scapular stability exercise program on shoulder functionality in athletes who practice CrossFit® with symptoms of unilateral shoulder impingement syndrome at 6 and 12 weeks. Secondary objectives are: - Compare the effect of a specific exercise program versus a scapular stability exercise program on isometric shoulder muscle strength in athletes who practice CrossFit® with symptoms of unilateral shoulder impingement syndrome at 6 and 12 weeks. . - Compare the effect of a specific exercise program versus a stability exercise program on shoulder range of motion in athletes who practice CrossFit® with symptoms of unilateral shoulder impingement syndrome at 6 and 12 weeks. - Compare the effect of a specific exercise program versus a scapular stability exercise program on the shoulder strength/speed profile variables in athletes who practice CrossFit® with symptoms of unilateral shoulder impingement syndrome at 6 and 12 weeks. - Compare the effect of varying the training load on pain in the shoulder region in athletes who practice CrossFit® with symptoms of unilateral shoulder impingement syndrome at 6 and 12 weeks.
Interventions
Carrying out the intervention during the 6-week period, supervised by athletic coach in the CrossFit box in one-on-one at the start of the trainning session.
The specific intervention program is composed of 7 exercises (Overhead squat with stick, Overhead squat with bar, Y-wall press, Overhead squat with band, scapular push-ups, wall slide with band, gymnastic bear crawl) performed during the warm-up time. Exercises will be realize at a RPE of 4/10. A total of 18 sessions will be carried out, in

Exercises will be realize at a RPE of 4/10. A total of 18 sessions will be carried out, in the seven exercises 2 series of 8 repetitions will be performed with 60 seconds of rest between exercises and a minute and a half between series, three days a week for 6 weeks. Previously, both groups will receive advice regarding pain control, posture, movement control and will have the exercises explained in a video support for the control group and for the specific exercise group. In addition, they will be sensitized to adherence to treatment and compliance with home sessions. Adherence will be assessed by a cheklist attendance after each session.
