The purpose of this case report was to provide detailed information regarding quantitative assessment of postoperative recovery, focusing on maximal and rapid isometric force production following pectoralis major tendon repair in a world-class female wrestler.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"study-design\">\n                    <jats:title>STUDY DESIGN<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Case report<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"case-description\">\n                    <jats:title>CASE DESCRIPTION<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A world-class female wrestler in her 20s sustained rupture of the sternocostal and abdominal heads of the right pectoralis major at the humeral attachment and underwent tendon repair six days after injury. Resistance training began at week nine and wrestling-specific drills began at week 14. She returned to competitive training at week 18 and official competition at week 24.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"outcomes\">\n                    <jats:title>OUTCOMES<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Shoulder strength was assessed weekly from postoperative week 6 to 16 using the Athletic Shoulder (ASH) Test with a force plate. Net peak force (NPF) and net force at 200 ms (NF200) were measured in the I-position (180\u00b0), Y-position (135\u00b0), and T-position (90\u00b0). NPF limb symmetry improved by week 11 in the I- and Y-positions, while NF200 recovery lagged behind NPF, particularly in the Y-position. A temporary decrease in NPF and NF200 was observed at week 14, most pronounced in the Y-position. Coefficient of variation for NF200 remained higher on the operated side than on the contralateral side. Training progression and return-to-sport clearance were guided by pain response, shoulder range of motion, exercise and sport-specific tolerance, ASH test findings, and physician assessment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"discussion\">\n                    <jats:title>DISCUSSION<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>NF200 recovery lagged behind NPF, suggesting that rapid force production may remain impaired after peak force has recovered. Recovery patterns were angle-dependent, supporting multidirectional assessment. Strength decline after wrestling-specific training also supports continued neuromuscular monitoring.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"conclusion\">\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSION<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this athlete, repeated ASH testing appeared to assist clinical monitoring by detecting position-specific changes in maximal and rapid force production during the return-to-sport process.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"level-of-evidence\">\n                    <jats:title>LEVEL OF EVIDENCE<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>5<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.26603\/001c.169927","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,15]],"date-time":"2026-10-15T17:08:43Z","timestamp":1792084123000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Force Plate Based Assessment of Maximal and Rapid Isometric Shoulder Strength During the Return-to-Sport Process After Pectoralis Major Repair in a World-Class Female Wrestler: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.26603","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Kazuya","family":"Yamazaki","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Japan Institute of Sports Sciences"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ayano","family":"Tanaka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Japan Institute of Sports Sciences"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4553-1580","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Masashi","family":"Aoyagi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Japan Institute of Sports Sciences"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kohei","family":"Nakajima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Japan Institute of Sports Sciences"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hideki","family":"Takeda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NTT Medical Center Tokyo"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daichi","family":"Yamashita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Japan Institute of Sports Sciences"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"11140","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,2]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"116","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546512462809","article-title":"Rate of torque and electromyographic development during anticipated eccentric contraction is lower in previously strained hamstrings","volume":"41","author":"D.
