Özet:

 Purpose: Serratus Anterior and Trapezius muscles are the most important stabilizers of the scapulothoracic joint. Inadequate endurance of these muscles plays a crucial role in reduced neuromuscular performance. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of regular exercise on scapular muscle endurance and shoulder pain in young individuals. Methods: This study was designed as a prospective controlled study. Participants clinical and socio-demographic characteristics were documented, the Scapular Muscular Endurance SME test was employed to evaluate scapular muscle endurance, and shoulder pain was assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale. Results: One hundred participants exercising regularly 38 females, mean age 21.370.23 years and 100 sedentary participants 55 females, mean age 21.210.20 years were included. Participants were divided into two groups: those who had pain and those who did not. Scapular endurance of the regular exercising group and the sedentary group with pain and without pain was compared. In all groups, SME was found to be higher in favour of the regularly exercising group p0.001. The groups were not shown significant in terms of shoulder pain p  0.05. Conclusions: Awareness of exercising regularly from the young ages should be raised for both to emphasize the importance of exercising regularly and to prevent shoulder problems that may occur in the following ages.

 Amaç: Serratus Anterior ve Trapezius kasları, skapulotorasik eklemin en önemli stabilizatörlerdir. Bu kasların yetersiz enduransı, nöromusküler performansta azalmaya neden olabilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, genç bireylerde düzenli egzersizin skapular kas enduransı ve omuz ağrısı üzerindeki etkilerini incelemektir. Araçlar ve Yöntem: Bu çalışma prospektif kontrollü bir çalışma olarak tasarlanmıştır. Katılımcıların klinik ve sosyodemografik özellikleri oluşturulan sosyodemografik veriler formuyla, skapular kas enduransı Skapular Kassal Endurans testi ile ve omuz ağrısı şiddeti Visual Analog Skalası ile değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya düzenli egzersiz yapan 100 katılımcı 38 kadın, yaş ortalaması 21.370.23 yıl ve sedanter yaşayan 100 katılımcı 55 kadın, yaş ortalaması 21.210.20 yıl dahil edildi. Katılımcılar, ağrısı olan ve olmayan olarak gruplara ayrıldı. Skapular endurans değerleri, ağrısı olan ve olmayan sedanter grup ile düzenli egzersiz yapan grup arasında karşılaştırıldı. Tüm gruplarda Skapular kassal endurans değerleri, düzenli egzersiz yapan grupta anlamlı derecede yüksek bulundu p0.001. Ancak, omuz ağrısı skorları açısından gruplar arasında anlamlı bir farklılık saptanmadı p0.05. Sonuç: Hem düzenli egzersiz yapmanın öneminin vurgulanması hem de ileri yaşlarda yaşanabilecek omuz problemlerinin önlenmesi açısından erken yaşlardan itibaren düzenli egzersiz farkındalığı arttırılmalıdır.
