Investigation of the Effects of Kettlebell Training

Kettlebell exercises are seen as one of the approaches that can be used conservatively in individuals with shoulder pain. However, it is still unknown what results it has on its therapeutic effects. These findings highlight the need for higher quality studies evaluating the effects of kettlebell use and exercises for shoulder pain. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 8 weeks of kettlebell training on shoulder pain, function, and performance. The hypotheses of our study are as follows: * H1: In individuals with Rotator Cuff-Related Shoulder Pain, the improvement in shoulder-related pain perception is greater with Kettlebell training compared to the standard rehabilitation program. * H2: In individuals with Rotator Cuff Related Shoulder Pain, shoulder function improvement is greater with Kettlebell training compared to the standard rehabilitation program. * H3: In individuals with Rotator Cuff-Related Shoulder Pain, shoulder performance improvement is greater with Kettlebell training than with the standard rehabilitation program.
