“…13,22 The current results showed good to excellent correlations between the USSPT-F and USSPT-C. In previous studies, performance in the USSPT-F presented strong correlation with shoulder flexor and elbow extensor strength, [14][15][16] strong correlations with IR and ER isokinetic strength, 8 and moderate to strong correlations with pushing force assessed through isokinetic dynamometry 15 in active/physically adults. Also, the isometric strength of the serratus anterior was correlated with USSPT-F performance.…”

“…Also, the isometric strength of the serratus anterior was correlated with USSPT-F performance. 14 Because shoulder muscle weakness may be a risk factor for overuse shoulder injuries 3 and rotator cuff tendinopathy 23 in overhead athletes, it is suggested that clinicians might consider the use of the USSPT-F and USSPT-C as an indirect measure of shoulder and elbow strength in this population. Future studies need to assess the direct correlation between the USSPT-C with isokinetic shoulder and elbow strength.…”

“…One alternative is the USSPT that can be performed on a chair (USSPT-C) 11 and on the floor (USSPT-F). 12 Normative values and psychometric properties for the USSPT have been reported for athletes from different sports, 11,13,14 healthy active adults, 11,15,16 and overhead athletes. 14 However, the differences in results for both positions have not been described in the literature in terms of measurement comparisons and reliablity.…”

BACKGROUND The unilateral Seated Shot-Put Test (USSPT) is an easy to apply, inexpensive tool that can be used to assess shoulder performance unilaterally. Two different positions of execution have been described in previous studies, however, differences regarding reference values and psychometric properties were not assessed. PURPOSE To investigate the performance, test-retest reliability and measurement error of the USSPT according to different positions of execution (floor versus chair) in overhead athletes. The hypothesis was that both positions would present similar values, good to excellent test-retest reliability and clinically acceptable measures. STUDY DESIGN Test-retest reliability. METHODS Forty-four overhead athletes performed the USSPT on the floor (USSPT-F) and on a chair (USSPT-C). Normative values were established according to gender, age, and dominance. Test-retest reliability was determined using Intraclass Correlation Coefficient and measurement error through Standard Error of Measurement, Smallest Detectable Change, as well as Bland and Altman plots. RESULTS Reference values for both positions were provided. Women performed better on the USSPT-C than USSPT-F. Excellent test-retest reliability 0.97 (0.89 – 0.99) for dominant side and 0.95 (0.80 – 0.98) for non-dominant side was found for the USSPT-F. Moderate to excellent reliability 0.91 (0.67 – 0.98) for dominant side and 0.74 (0.01 – 0.93) for non-dominant side was found for the USSPT-C. Presence of systematic error (14.76 cm) was found only for USSPT-C dominant (p=0.011). CONCLUSION Differences were found only for women with better performance on the USSPT-C. The USSPT-F presented higher reliability values. Both tests presented clinically acceptable measures. Presence of systematic error was found only in the USSPT-C. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 3
