| Upper Quarter Y-Balance Test (UQYBT) | The UQYBT is a valid and reliable test specifically designed for assessing shoulder stability and dynamic control in the upper body. It tests an individuals ability to maintain stability while reaching in three different directions. The participant places one hand on the center of the Y-shaped test grid while reaching in three directions (medial, superolateral, and inferolateral) with the other hand. The maximum reach distances in each direction are measured and normalized to limb length. Reach distances in each direction are recorded and averaged for each arm. This tool is reliable for measuring upper body dynamic stability, making it relevant for evaluating shoulder control improvements from each push-up variation | 8 weeks |
| 2.Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability Test (CKCUEST) | This test measures upper body stability and strength in a closed kinetic chain, which simulates the position used in both types of push-ups. It has been validated for measuring shoulder endurance, stability, and coordination. Participants are placed in a push-up position with their hands spaced 36 inches apart. They repeatedly touch alternating hands across the body within a 15-second period. The total number of touches is counted and recorded. The CKCUEST is useful for assessing upper body strength and stability, as it closely simulates the push-up movements used in the study. It is a practical, field-based test commonly applied in athletic assessments for shoulder stability and strength . | 8 weeks |
| 3.Push-up test | This test assesses upper body muscular endurance, which is essential for sustained performance and resilience against fatigue in athletes. Participants perform standard push-ups until they are unable to maintain proper form or reach fatigue. The total number of push-ups completed with good form is recorded. The number of push-ups reflects muscular endurance improvements, allowing for assessment of the cumulative effects of plyometric and Bosu ball push-up interventions on upper body endurance . | 8 weeks |
