DW, Dynamic Warm-up; VR, Vibrating Rollers; CW, Climbing Warm-up. ER = Shoulder External Rotation, IR = Shoulder Internal Rotation, OHF = Overhead Shoulder Flexibility. Data were represented as mean (SD).
* Indicated a significant difference in the time factor.
# Indicated a significant interaction effect in shoulder flexion and ER.
a Significant difference (p < 0.05) compared with DW.
b Significant difference (p < 0.05) compared with CW.
