Overhead athletes

Overhead athletes are individuals who frequently perform activities involving throwing or raising their arms above their heads, such as baseball pitchers, volleyball players, or tennis players. These movements place significant stress on the shoulder and elbow joints, requiring strength, flexibility, and stability. Their training and competition involve repetitive, high-velocity arm motions that can lead to injuries like tendinitis or rotator cuff tears if not properly managed. Understanding their biomechanics is essential for preventing injuries and optimizing performance.
