Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Carrying out the intervention during the 6-week period, supervised by athletic coach in the CrossFit box in one-on-one at the start of the trainning session.
The specific intervention program is composed of 7 exercises (Overhead squat with stick, Overhead squat with bar, Y-wall press, Overhead squat with band, scapular push-ups, wall slide with band, gymnastic bear crawl) performed during the warm-up time. Exercises will be realize at a RPE of 4/10. A total of 18 sessions will be carried out, in the seven exercises 2 series of 8 repetitions will be performed with 60 seconds of rest between exercises and a minute and a half between series, three days a week for 6 weeks.
Previously, both groups will receive advice regarding pain control, posture, movement control and will have the exercises explained in a video support for the control group and for the specific exercise group. In addition, they will be sensitized to adherence to treatment and compliance with home sessions. Adherence will be assessed by a cheklist attendance after each session.

Comparator / control treatment
The stability intervention program consists of four home therapeutic scapular strength and control exercises for the shoulder joint complex based on other protocols of ER, horizontal abduction in lateral and prone decubitus, and shoulder extension in prone position. Exercises will be realize at a RPE of 4/10. A total of 18 sessions will be carried out, in the four exercises 3 series of 10 repetitions will be performed with 60 seconds of rest between exercises and a minute and a half between series, three days a week for 6 weeks. Exercises will be supervised by athletic coach in the CrossFit box in one-on-one at the start of the trainning session. Adherence will be assessed by a cheklist attendance after each session.
