The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of corrective exercises on ground reaction forces in male student handball players with upper-crossed syndrome during throwing.
Design
Clinical trial with intervention and control group, with parallel groups, double-blind, randomized, phase 2 on 30 patients.
Settings and conduct
Measurements were performed at Hamadan Azad University. Exercises were performed at the Enghlab sports complex.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
The eligibility criteria were as follows aged between 14 and 20 years, shoulder angle (SA > 49°) , cervical angle (CA > 44°), thoracic kyphosis angle (tkA> 42°)
Intervention groups
The experimental group (n=15) received an 8-week corrective exercise (CE) programme. The control group was asked to maintain their ordinary daily activities and not to participate in any exercise programs.
Main outcome variables
The time to reach the maximum ground reaction force for the left and right leg, anterior, posterior, vertical.
The mean and standard deviation of ground reaction force for the left and right leg, anterior, posterior, vertical.

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Participants were randomized by the slot-drawing method to experimental and control groups. The randomization sequence was not disclosed until participants had completed their baseline assessments. Allocation was by sealed opaque envelopes. Participants were assigned to each (experimental or control) group by a sealed envelope containing the name of one of the two groups.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
