Abstract:

The research seeks to ascertain the degree of influence exerted by a rehabilitation program employing yoga exercises on the restoration of motor efficiency in athletes with soft tissue injuries of the shoulder girdle. The researcher adopted an experimental methodology utilising a one-group design to align with the research's nature and objectives. The sample was deliberately selected from first-class volleyball players in clubs within Misan governorate for the 2024-2025 season, specifically those diagnosed with soft shoulder girdle injuries by a specialist physician. The sample comprised six players, including two participants for the exploratory study, with data collection facilitated through various tests and metrics. The data were analysed statistically using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The study findings indicated: The proposed rehabilitation program demonstrated a positive effect, evidenced by statistically significant differences in the pain scale across pre-, mid-, and post-measurements, indicating that the rehabilitation exercise program effectively reduced pain levels in the shoulder joint area. The proposed rehabilitation program and yoga exercises yielded statistically significant differences in the range of motion across pre-, mid-, and post-measurements, demonstrating a positive impact on the flexibility of the shoulder girdle in all directions. The proposed rehabilitation program demonstrated a positive effect, resulting in statistically significant differences among pre-, mid-, and post-measurements in muscular strength. The rehabilitation exercise program positively influenced the enhancement of explosive power, speed-strength characteristics, and strength extension in the shoulder girdle region. Recommendations included prioritising rehabilitation exercises administered by a physiotherapist for injury recovery, and including integrated rehabilitation activities, such as yoga, which provide exceptional outcomes for sports injuries in several disciplines.
