The Relationship Between Shoulder Mobility And Upper Body Muscle Mass On 2-Rm Bench Press Performance, Raquel J. Cavazos, Francesca Aquilino, Ernesto Balderrama, Chaehyun Byun, Shelby Gerner, Cheyenne Martinez, Austin Riffe, Vipa Bernhardt, Michael D. Oldham

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

INTRODUCTION: Upper body strength is one of the most important factors in American football and thus tested frequently. However, strength may come at the cost of mobility as recent studies have reported an inverse relationship between shoulder range of motion (ROM) and strength, with an increase in strength causing a decrease in ROM (Shitara et al., 2022). PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine if upper body muscle mass or shoulder mobility are associated with two-repetition max (2-RM) bench press performance in collegiate football players. METHODS: Data from 80 Division I varsity football players (20.5 ± 1.4 …
