Values are presented as mean ± standard deviation. NMSS, novel modified sleeper stretch; CBS, cross-body stretch; AT rest, scapular anterior tilting at rest; AT 60°, scapular anterior tilting at shoulder active 60˚ internal rotation; IR ROM, shoulder internal rotation range of motion. *p < 0.05, by two-way mixed ANOVA.
