Sponsor's own description
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the impact of performing cervical exercises during a simulated game on shoulder range of motion and strength in collegiate baseball picthers. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can performing cervical retraction/extension exercises help to maintain shoulder internal rotation range of motion in the throwing shoulder after a pitching session? Can performing cervical retraction/extension exercises help to maintain shoulder external rotation strength in the throwing shoulder after a pitching session? Researchers will compare the effects of cervical retraction/extension exercises to no exercise to see if shoulder range of motion or strength is impacted. Participants will perform end-range cervical retraction and cervical retraction with extension, holding the end-range of motion for 3 seconds and performing 10 repetitions of each exercise between each inning of a simulated 5-inning game.
