The shoulder joint is one of the most flexible joints in the human body and is mainly stabilized by muscles. Of the Deltoid is one of the larger muscles and is contracted in all dimensions when the arm moves. It is thus divided into a front, side and rear part.
Most of the upper extremity training exercises also train the shoulder muscles. In many setback sports (tennis etc.) shoulder injuries are common.
