Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Functional Throwing Performance IndexTimepoint: The functional ability of the shoulder joint will be assessed using the Functional Throwing Performance Index (FTPI). The subject will stand 4.57 meters away from a 30.48 x 30.48 cm target marked on a wall at a height of 1.22 meters from the floor. The athlete will be instructed to throw a rubber playground ball into the target as many times as possible during a 30-second trial. Before testing, each subject will perform 8 warm-up throws. The test will begin immediately after the warm-up, with the subject repeatedly throwing the ball into the target, catching the rebound from the wall, and continuing for 30 seconds. The FTPI will be calculated as: FTPI = (Number of accurate throws within the target) / (Total number of throws). To ensure consistency, the same examiner will determine the accuracy of all throws. | — |

| SEATED MEDICINE BALL THROWTimepoint: An open-kinetic chain test to assess upper-body strength and power Participants will sit with legs extended and back, shoulders, and head against a wall. Holding a 2 kg medicine ball at 90 shoulder abduction and elbow flexion, they will perform a chest pass without losing wall contact. Three warm-up throws will be done, followed by a 2-minute rest. Four maximal-effort throws will be performed, with 1-minute rest intervals. Technique will be monitored. A 10 m tape will be fixed to the floor. The ball, coated with magnesium carbonate, will mark the floor. The examiner will measure the distance from the wall to the nearest point of contact as the score. | — |
