OBJECTIVE To identify possible intrinsic risk factors for shoulder injury by analyzing measurements of maximal isokinetic rotator muscle strength. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING Male team handball senior divisions (the highest level) in France and Belgium. PATIENTS OR OTHER PARTICIPANTS A total of 108 male high-level handball players (age = 24 ± 4 years, height = 189 ± 6 cm, mass = 87 ± 11 kg) were enrolled. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) All players completed a preseason questionnaire and performed a bilateral isokinetic assessment of the shoulder rotator muscles. On a monthly questionnaire, players reported any shoulder injury that they sustained during the season. RESULTS On the preseason questionnaire, 51 of 108 (47%) participants reported a history of dominant-shoulder injury. A total o...
