Shoulder Injury Prevention in Adolescent Handball Players Based on Scandinavian Protocols

An evidence-based warm-up and strengthening routine developed for handball players to reduce the risk of shoulder injuries. The physiotherapy component includes exercises for scapular control, rotator cuff strength, and shoulder mobility. The throwing block is excluded in this trial, as it is designed for the off-season and the programme is implemented during the competitive season. Exercises are performed twice per week before training sessions, last about 15 minutes, and are supervised by two physiotherapists.
