# Background Little is known about the influence of kinetic chain strength and power on shoulder problems in handball players or the impact of participation-related shoulder load (PSL) during a season. Suboptimal activity of the kinetic chain during throwing might make the shoulder more vulnerable. # Purpose The purpose of this study was to assess 1) the association between pre-season measurements and shoulder problems among handball players and 2) whether pre-season strength and power influence the association between PSL and severity of shoulder problems. # Study Design Prospective observational cohort study. # Methods Pre-season measurements were done using the Isometric mid-thigh pull for lower body strength, a seated test for trunk rotation power (TRP) and isometric testing of external (ER) and internal rotation shoulder strength on 42 male players. Shoulder problems (prevalence, substantial prevalence, and severity score) were documented weekly through a season (31 weeks) with The Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center Overuse Questionnaire (OSTRC-O2) and PSL with the modified Borg rate of perceived exertion scale. Spearman´s correlation coefficient was applied to examine the association within the first aim, while a mixed model ANOVA was conducted to analyze the second aim. # Results A weak and negative correlation (rs=-0.34) was found between pre-season ER strength and the individual prevalence of shoulder problems (p=0.029). A main effect was found between PSL and the OSTRC-O2 severity score (p= |
