Brief summary
The objective of the study is the validate and to assess the reliability of a modified version of the Athetic Shoulder Test. The activity of peri-scapular muscles during the realization of the test will be assessed too.
Detailed description
The study will be divided into two sessions. A time of 7-10 days will be provided between the two sessions of tests to limit the influence of sport and training on the results. Session 1: * Warm-up * Realization of the Athletic Shoulder Test (with EMG captors on upper trapezius, lower trapezius and serratus anterior) * Realization of the modified Athletic Shoulder Test (with EMG captors on upper trapezius, lower trapezius and serratus anterior) Session 2: * Warm-up * Realization of the Athletic Shoulder Test (with EMG captors on upper trapezius, lower trapezius and serratus anterior) * Realization of the modified Athletic Shoulder Test (with EMG captors on upper trapezius, lower trapezius and serratus anterior)
Interventions
OTHERRealization of the Athletic Shoulder Test and the Modified Athletic Shoulder Test
The participants will have to perform both tests two times, with a 7-10 days rest period between the two sessions

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Strength of anteflexors in I position | Change from baseline to 10 days | The strength developped in the I position will be assessed with a force plateform and a handheld dynamometer |
| Strength of anteflexors in Y position | Change from baseline to 10 days | The strength developped in the Y position will be assessed with a force plateform and a handheld dynamometer |
| Strength of anteflexors in T position | Change from baseline to 10 days | The strength developped in T position will be assessed with a force plateform and a handheld dynamometer |
| EMG activity of upper trapezius | during the first session | EMG activity of upper trapezius will be measured with surface electrodes (Delsys Trigno) |
| EMG activity of lower trapezius | during the first session | EMG activity of lower trapezius will be measured with surface electrodes (Delsys Trigno) |
| EMG activity of serratus anterior | during the first session | EMG activity of serratus anterior will be measured with surface electrodes (Delsys Trigno) |
