      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Not blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Participants were selected by non-probability convenience sampling from the college setting. Each participant is allocated a number on enrollment in the study. Participants were randomly allocated into two groups by a random number sequence generated by a computer software program called "research randomizer". According to the number generated by a computer software, the participant is allocated into group in which that number falls. This software is used to generate 2 sets of 20 unique numbers via setting the range from 1-40 from least to greatest order.</study_design>

      <hc_freetext>Glenohumeral internal rotation deficit.</hc_freetext>
      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group A: Treatment with Post isometric Muscle Energy Technique applied over the period of 2 weeks. Post isometric Muscle Energy Technique application (experimental) to dominant side Glenohumeral joint horizontal abductors. The participant was in a supine position on the examination table. With the humerus supported and the participant’s shoulder and elbow in 90° of abduction and flexion, respectively, the examiner passively moved the humerus into internal rotation until the first barrier of motion was reached. The participant was then instructed to perform a 5-second isometric contraction in the direction of external rotation, against an opposing force provided by the examiner at the distal forearm. Following the contraction, the participant was instructed to internally rotate the arm toward the ground as a 30-second active assisted stretch was applied. The participant was instructed to relax.This protocol was performed for a total of 3 repetitions three times a week for 2 weeks. Intervention 2: Intervention group B:Treatment with Myofascial release to subscapularis applied over the period of 2 weeks. Myofascial release to subscapularis application performed by applying hot pack for 10 min and also sustain manual pressure with therapy Ball and strengthening exercises of periscapular muscles by a physiotherapist three times a week for 2 weeks.</i_freetext>
