“…The handball throwing movement is executed quickly and explosively. During this action the latissimus dorsi, deltoids and pectoralis major muscles produce large forces to enable throwing the ball at high velocity (Fredriksen & Tillaar, 2022) At the same time, rotator cuff muscles elicit glenohumeral rotation and humeral head compression in the glenoid cavity (Walter, 2020). The rotator cuff muscles are smaller in comparison to the latissimus dorsi and pectoralis major (Walter, 2020).…”

The rotator cuff muscles are smaller in comparison to the latissimus dorsi and pectoralis major (Walter, 2020). Therefore, using lighter weights to provide resistance and strengthen the rotator cuff muscles while executing the circumduction movement may benefit them.…”

“…Exercises performed with barbells and dumbbells provide resistance in a single plane and may not simulate a dynamic shoulder action (Walter, 2020). Exercises performed using clubbells may provide better resistance in multiple planes.…”

“…One such sport where forceful repetitive shoulder rotations are performed is Handball. Handball athletes execute repetitive explosive shoulder rotations (Achenbach et al, 2020;Walter et al, 2019), this repetitive rotational action causes overuse-related changes to glenohumeral joint stabilisers (Walter, 2020).…”

“…Performing shoulder circumduction exercises are vital for the maintenance of ROM, while providing resistance training to the rotator cuff muscles may strengthen them (Fredriksen et al, 2020). Rotator cuff muscles rotate the humeral head during every throwing action, and compresses it within the within the glenoid cavity maintaining joint stability (Walter, 2020). The large volume of throwing training and match throwing requires the handball athletes to perform thousands of explosive shoulder rotations.…”

Background: Clubbells were popular shoulder exercise equipment used during the 17-18th centuries. Currently there is a resurgence in the use of clubbells to strengthen the shoulder rotators, but there are no studies to prove their effectiveness on shoulder kinematics. Therefore, this study aimed to find out if clubbell exercises had any effect on glenohumeral rotational range of motion (ROM) and shoulder rotator strength. Methods: Using a randomised control study design, female handball athletes (n=15) were voluntarily recruited and were assigned randomly to either a handball training only group (HT) (n = 8, age 25±7 y, height 1.77 ± 0.11m, mass 76 ± 15 kg,) or a shoulder exercise group (SE) (n = 7, age 27±8 y, height 1.78 ± 0.12m, mass 79 ± 15 kg). The SE group underwent an exercise programme (8 weeks, 3 days/week, 20 min/day) using clubbells. The ROM and muscle strength were assessed at baseline and at the end of weeks 2, 4, 6 and 8. Results: After eight weeks, comparison between groups showed that the SE group’s dominant arm internal rotators muscle strength improved (28±5 to 33±7 Nm) significantly (p0.05). Within the SE group, internal rotation ROM, internal rotators, and external rotators muscle strength all significantly (p0.05) improved. Conclusions: Clubbell exercises increases internal rotation ROM and shoulder rotators muscle strength. Therefore, it is suggested that handball athletes could use clubbell exercises to improve their shoulder rotational ROM and strengthen the shoulder rotators whereby reducing shoulder injury risk.
