| Abstract: | Abstract: Background: Each of the various types of movement mandated by badminton are fast, powerful and require intricate coordination Be it smashes or serves in badminton. Such repetitive above headline movements cause a lot of pressure to be deposited to the shoulder joint especially to the Rotator cuff muscles which bear the responsibility of making a forceful joint. In the long run these movements compromise the energy tightness of the muscles and lead to imbalances and a high incidence of overuse injuries among players including rotator cuff tendinopathy impingement syndrome and shoulder instability. The rotator cuff and shoulder pathology are widespread in athletes and have a negative impact on performance and throwing ability in particular by shortening the distance and accuracy of throws and general impact on efficiency of gameplay. The rotator cuff muscles are thus important to strengthen so as to avoid injury and increase performance. The Thrower’s Ten Programme is well-implemented intervention that aims for overall upper limb strengthening, on the other hand, rotator cuff-specific training target selectively strengthen these shoulder-stabilizing muscles. Methods: Forty six amateur badminton players (both male and female) between the ages of 18 and 25 participated in a randomized controlled trial(RCT). To ensure their eligibility for the study, participants were first evaluated using an interview questionnaire to evaluate their medical history, past injuries, and current levels of physical activity. Following the screening, participants were split into two groups at random: the Thrower's Ten program group A (n=23) and the rotator cuff strength training group B(n=23). Training was place three times a week for four weeks for both groups. Before and after the intervention, throwing distance was evaluated using a standardized throwing test upper limb explosive power test (ULEPT) and shoulder strength was tested with a push pull dynamometer(PPD). Result: Both groups demonstrated significant improvements in throwing distance and strength after the interventions (p < 0.05). In Group A, throwing distance improved from 9.48 ± 1.57 to 10.91 ± 1.78 (t = -4.37, p = 0.00025), and strength increased from 41.78 ± 7.9 to 47.21 ± 7.6 (t = -3.3, p = 0.0033). In Group B, throwing distance improved from 9.01 ± 1.28 to 10.44 ± 1.6 (t = -5.36, p = 0.00002), and strength increased from 38.21 ± 7.38 to 44.3 ± 8.04 (t = -3.96, p = 0.00067). However, between-group comparisons revealed no statistically significant differences in either throwing distance (p = 0.315) or strength (p = 0.162) at week 4 Conclusion: Both Rotator Cuff Strength Training and the Thrower’s Ten Program were effective in improving shoulder strength and throwing distance in recreational badminton players. While both interventions led to similar overall improvements, Rotator Cuff Strength Training showed a slightly greater effect on throwing distance, suggesting its potential benefit for sports-specific overhead performance. On the other hand, the Thrower’s Ten Program demonstrated a greater trend in enhancing shoulder strength, making it valuable for general shoulder health and strength endurance. These findings highlight the applicability of both training protocols, offering flexible options for optimizing athletic performance in badminton player. |
