Effects of Scapular Training on Adolescent Boxers

Sponsor: Istinye University

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Boxing is a combat sport that requires repetitive, high-speed upper extremity movements, placing substantial demands on shoulder stability, scapular control, and neuromuscular coordination. Repetitive punching movements may contribute to scapular dyskinesis, shoulder dysfunction, and impaired upper extremity performance. Scapular stabilization exercises aim to improve scapular positioning, muscle activation, and movement coordination by targeting key stabilizing muscles, including the serratus anterior and trapezius. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of scapular stabilization exercises on scapular control and upper extremity performance in adolescent boxers. Scapular control, muscular endurance, stability, strength, balance, and reaction time will be assessed to determine changes following the exercise intervention. The findings are expected to provide evidence regarding the potential benefits of scapular stabilization training for improving upper extremity function and sports performance in adolescent boxers.
