Background: The Throwers Ten program, refined in 1991 by Wilk et al., targets shoulder injury prevention and rehabilitation. It emphasizes coactivation, neuromuscular control, dynamic stabilization, and coordination. Strength, power, and endurance are vital for optimal throwing performance. A holistic approach blends resistance training with sport-specific drills to enhance overall athletic abilities. Aim was to investigate the effects of advanced throwers ten programme on strength, power and endurance in overhead athletes using 1RM bench press, seated medicine ball and pushup test respectively.
Method: 30 overhead athletes were selected on basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria and receive advanced throwers ten program session for 6 weeks 3 sessions per week, along with 10 minutes warm-up exercise before training and 10 minutes cool down period after training. Pre and post measurement of 1RM bench press, Medicine ball and Pushup test were taken.
Result: shows there is significant improvement in strength, power and endurance test (p< 0.0001).
Conclusion: Advanced throwers ten program is useful to prevent shoulder injuries in overhead athletes.
