Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Trapezius Muscle Oxygen Saturation
Trapezius muscle oxygen saturation will be assessed using near-infrared spectroscopy monitor during upper-extremity exercise.
Time frame
First Day2
Trapezius Total Hemoglobin
Trapezius total hemoglobin will be assessed using near-infrared spectroscopy monitor during upper-extremity exercise.
Time frame
First daySecondary outcomes
1
Trapezius Muscle Strength
Upper and middle trapezius muscle strength will be measured using a handheld dynamometer.
Time frame
Second Day2
Cervical Range of Motion
Active cervical flexion, extension, lateral flexion, and rotation will be measured using a goniometer.
Time frame
Second day3
Neck Disability
Disability will be assessed using the Neck Disability Index (NDI; 0-50 points), with higher scores indicating greater disability.
Time frame
Second day4
Upper-Extremity Exercise Capacity
Maximum upper-extremity exercise capacity will be assessed using an arm ergometer test, with peak workload recorded in watts.
