Few studies have focused on the non-dominant side and thus further research should pay attention to muscle imbalance in non-dominant upper limbs and their connection to overhead sports injuries as well as to provide important programmes and exercises that can stabilise muscles on the non-dominant side. A special programme focusing mainly on addressing muscle imbalance issues is needed to minimise injuries in elites. It should be noted that the existence of a shoulder muscle imbalance heightens the risk of shoulder injury and as such it is recommended that timely strength training intervention programmes be introduced to alleviate the imbalances.
