Abstract
Objective: The purpose of the study was to determine the prevalence of shoulder impingement syndrome among bodybuilders.
Study design: It was a Cross-Sectional Study.
Place and duration of study: The study was conducted at the selected gymnasiums of Islamabad (Power Hub Gym, Get Fit Gym, and Ishaq Gym) from July to November 2023.
Material and Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on male bodybuilders with ages ranging from 21-45 years. The consent was taken from each participant prior to the study. Data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire, which included Demographics, a Visual analog scale, Hawkins Kennedy Test, Neer’s Impingement test, the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index, and individual risk factors related to bodybuilders. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 26.
Results: Statistical data showed that 68% of total participants had positive Hawkins-Kennedy and Neer’s Impingement test , 52% of participants had moderate pain, 24% had mild pain, and a similar percentage had no pain. In terms of disability, 52% experienced moderate disability 48% had mild disability. 52% of subjects who use to have shoulder workout two to four days a week had positive results on the Hawkins-Kennedy test.
Conclusion: The present study concludes that shoulder impingement syndrome is prevalent among bodybuilders with functional limitations as well which affect their quality of life.
