“…This position is very similar to the recent adaptation by Degot et al (2019) using half arm span, where full arm span is close to a person's height measure. The participants in the current study completed a slightly higher mean number at 25 touches, compared to a mean from multiple sessions and trails of 22-23 touches reported by Degot et al (2019). This variation in the testing shows that even for males of similar ages, heights there are large variations between participants.…”

“…Tucci et al (2017) investigated the original 36", bi-acromial distance and 150% of bi-acromial distance, however the aim of their study was to explore the biomechanics and not the outcome or reliability of the proposed modifications. Degot et al, (2019) tested one half of the arm span (C7 spinous process to top of the middle finger) and despite demonstrating good to excellent reliability no attempts were made to compare the modified score to the original test, therefore it is not clear whether the modification resulted in any difference in score.…”

“…At the beginning of each session and after a standardized warm-up [ 14 ], participants watched an instructional video describing the USSPT procedure. The participants sat on the floor, with knees flexed at 90° and feet flat, while half of his back and head kept contact with the wall.…”

Background The Unilateral Seated Shot-Put Test (USSPT) consists of pushing an overweight ball as far as possible to assess upper extremity power unilaterally and bilateral symmetry. Literature however reports various body positions and upper limb pushing patterns to perform USSPT, demanding to provide additional guideline to achieve overweight ball push. This study therefore aimed at assessing the reliability and agreement of USSPT outcome measures when pushing an overweight ball in a horizontal direction. Methods Twenty-seven healthy male athletes performed two sessions, one week apart, of three unilateral pushes per upper limb using a 3-kg medicine ball, for which the distances were measured. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), standard error of measurement (SEM), minimum detectable change at a 95 % confidence level (MDC95 %) and coefficient of variation (CV) were assessed for the pushing distances based on one, two or three trials per side to produce two outcome measures: the pushing distance per limb and USSPT Limb Symmetry Index (LSI) when dividing pushing distance of the dominant side by that of the non-dominant side. Results The most reliable pushing distance per limb was obtained when averaging three pushing distances, normalized by body mass with the exponent 0.35. The mean USSPT LSI was 1.09 ± 0.10 for the first session and 1.08 ± 0.10 for the second session, highlighting good reliability and agreement (ICC = 0.82; SEM = 0.045; MDC95 % = 0.124; CV = 5.02 %). Conclusions When the overweight ball is pushed in a horizontal direction, averaging the distances of three trials for both the dominant and non-dominant limbs is advised to provide the most reliable USSPT distance per limb and USSPT LSI.

“…For this reason, they modified the CKCUES test to place the hands directly under their shoulders [30]. Degot et al [31] suggested that a fourth 1 minute set performed after a 15-second recovery following the third set can reflect muscular endurance capacity. However, because all CKCUES test methods evaluate both hands alternately, it was unclear whether the strength of the swing or supporting sides was more significant.…”

Background:The CKCUES test evaluates the functional performance of the shoulder joint.The CKCUES test scores CKC exercises of the upper limbs to examine shoulder stability. Although the CKCUES test provides quantitative data on functional ability and performance, no study has determined the relationship between CKCUES scores and SA and TB muscle strength. Objects:The objective of this study is to determine the relationship between the CKCUES test scores and the strength of the SA and TB muscles in the CKCUES and unilateral CKCUES tests.Methods: Sixty-six healthy male volunteers participated in the study. A Smart KEMA strength sensor measured SA and TB muscle strength. Two parallel lines on the floor indicated the initial hand placement to start CKCUES tests. For 15 seconds, the subject raises one hand and reaches over to touch the supporting hand, then returns to the starting position. Results:The correlation between the CKCUES test scores and the strength of the SA was strong (r = 0.650, p < 0.001), and the TB was moderate (r = 0.438, p < 0.001). The correlation between the unilateral CKCUES test and the strength of the SA of the supporting side was strong (r = 0.605, p < 0.001), and swing side was strong (r = 0.681, p < 0.001). The correlation between the unilateral CKCUES test and the strength of the TB of the supporting side was moderate (r = 0.409, p < 0.001), and swing side was moderate (r = 0.482, p < 0.001). Conclusion:Our study showed that the CKCUES test had a strong association with isometric strength of SA and moderate association with that of TB. These findings suggest that the CKCUES test can evaluate the function of the SA. Moreover, the unilateral CKCUES test can evaluate unilateral shoulder function.
