Autogenic Inhibition Versus Reciprocal Inhibition Muscle Energy Techniques Effect on Swimming Performance on Swimmers With Scapular Dyskinesis

Swimming uses your shoulders a lot, and if you have scapular dyskinesis (SD), it can make things tricky. SD means your shoulder blade doesn't move right, which can cause pain or injury. This study is looking at two methods, called autogenic inhibition and reciprocal inhibition, which are special exercises to help your muscles work better and reduce injuries. These exercises focus on muscles like the trapezius, levator scapulae, and pectoralis major, important for shoulder movement. The study lasts 3 weeks, with 12 sessions total (4 times each week), and each session is 8-14 minutes long.

• Participation is for swimmers who train at least 4 times a week and do the freestyle stroke.
• Participants must not have had shoulder pain, injury, or surgery in the last six months.
• The study aims to improve swimming performance and reduce shoulder injury risks.
