Objective: To study the effect of cryotherapy on the functional ability of the throwing shoulder.
Methodology: The throwing accuracy of shoulder joint was compared before and after application of a commercially available cryotherapy pack via a functional test known as Functional Throwing Performance Index (FTPI).
Result: Data analysis using one way ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) &Tukey's Multiple Comparison test showed that there was a statistically significant difference between Pre-Test and the post test throwing accuracy also a significant difference when compared to the throwing accuracy after 5min. However there was no statistically significant difference between the pre-test throwing accuracy and the accuracy at 10 Min & 15 minutes respectively.
Conclusions: Throwing accuracy was decreased after a 20-minute cryotherapy application to the shoulder. Caution should be taken when returning an athlete to play after a cryotherapy treatment for atleast a period of 15 Min. after the cessation of application.

Primary Dysmenorrhoea (PD) has widespread prevalence&far reaching academic, social &economic implications thus making it imperative that due importance is given to efficient treatment protocols for the same. The study aims to investigate the effect of 12-weeks of aerobic exercise on Primary Dysmenorrhoea (PD) as measured by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Verbal Multidimensional score (MDS), Maximum number of Sanitary napkins used per day on the day of maximum bleeding (SNMax) and the Quality of Life(QOL as measured by SF-36).
Methodology: A total of 60 subjects from a group of young students who met the inclusion criteria were randomly selected and the baseline measures of VAS, SN-Max, the MDS and SF-36 QOL were recorded. The Experiment group was administered a treadmill based Aerobic Exercise Programme at a frequency of 3-5 times per week for 12-weeks and thereafter the outcome measures recorded.
Results: Statistical Analysis of pre&post intervention outcome measures showed a statistically significant (P<0.05) decline in the pain, restriction of activities and analgesic requirement and Quality of Life of subjects in experimental group.
