Interventions

OTHEREccentric Exercise

In the eccentric exercise group, in addition to strengthening exercises for the periscapular muscles and stretching exercises for the biceps brachii muscle, eccentric strengthening exercises for the biceps brachii muscle will be given. Participants will do the exercises in the groups they were randomized to every day for 12 weeks. They will be called to the clinic once a week for exercise checks.

OTHERCombined Exercise

In the combined exercise group, in addition to strengthening exercises for the periscapular muscles and stretching exercises for the biceps brachii muscle, progressive isometric, isotonic and plyometric strengthening training will be given to the biceps brachii muscle. Participants will do the exercises in the groups they were randomized to every day for 12 weeks. They will be called to the clinic once a week for exercise checks.

OTHERControl Group Exercise

In the control group, strengthening exercises for the periscapular muscles and stretching exercises for the biceps brachii muscle will be given. Strengthening exercises for the biceps brachii muscle will not be given in this group. Participants will do the exercises in the groups they were randomized to every day for 12 weeks. They will be called to the clinic once a week for exercise checks.
