Baseball players are subjected to repeated loads on the supraspinatus and long head biceps tendon from youth, and repetitive pitching motions can cause shoulder injuries. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the immediate changes caused by pitching in the supraspinatus muscle-tendon, long head of the bicep tendon (LHBT), and shoulder range of motion (ROM) and to verify their recovery over time in youth baseball players.
