The Effect Of Shoulder Plyometric Training On Amortization Time And Upper Extremity Kinematics

Context: Plyometric training is credited with providing benefits in performance and dynamic restraint, however limited prospective data exists quantifying kinematic adaptations such as amortization time, glenohumeral and scapulothorasic position, which may underlie its efficacy for upper extremity r...

Description
Summary:Context: Plyometric training is credited with providing benefits in performance and dynamic restraint, however limited prospective data exists quantifying kinematic adaptations such as amortization time, glenohumeral and scapulothorasic position, which may underlie its efficacy for upper extremity rehabilitation or performance enhancement. Objective: To measure upper extremity kinematics before and after an 8 week upper extremity plyometric training program.
