Key Points

  • This investigation aims to identify factors associated with shoulder pain in elite male high school soft tennis players.
  • Systematic comparison of shoulder ROM-only, hip ROM-only, and combined models.
  • Analysis of variables including GIRD and stature among elite adolescent players.
  • Assessment of explanatory performance of different ROM models.
  • GIRD and shorter stature are linked to shoulder pain.
  • Hip ROM does not have a direct association with shoulder pain.
  • Shoulder ROM models showed better explanatory performance than hip ROM models.

Abstract

GIRD and shorter stature were associated with shoulder pain in elite male high school soft tennis players. Hip ROM was not directly associated with shoulder pain. This study is the first to investigate shoulder pain-related factors in elite adolescent soft tennis players by systematically comparing shoulder ROM-only, hip ROM-only, and combined models, demonstrating greater explanatory performance for models incorporating shoulder ROM.
