Description

Purpose: To compare the effectiveness of two pectoralis minor stretching methods that have been considered to be effective.<br>Methods: The study design was cross-over design witch has two weeks wash out period. Subjects were 34 male high school baseball players. We measured pectoralis minor muscle length, scapular position and shoulder range of motion. Intervention were doorway stretch and retraction 30° stretch. Statistics analysis was repeated measure 2-way ANOVA, t-test and minimal detectable change.<br>Results: Either stretches improved pectoralis minor muscle length, scapular position and shoulder range of motion. When we compared amount of change, doorway stretch improved pectoralis minor muscle length and scapular position more than retraction 30° stretch. Minimal detectable change of pectoralis minor muscle length and scapular position were less than these amount of changes.<br>Conclusion: The results of this study suggests that either stretches improves pectoralis minor muscle length, scapular positon. Furthermore, doorway stretch may more effective stretch than retraction 30° stretch for pectoralis minor muscle length.
