| %MVIC | Mean ± SD | Difference value | t | p | Effect size |
| Y | YLTPS |
| UT | 39.06±16.44 | 26.84±14.63 | 12.22 | 3.71 | .00* | 0.78 |
| LT | 59.80±13.21 | 67.16±14.90 | 7.36 | 2.6 | .02* | 0.52 |
| SA | 34.75±16.30 | 33.74±15.26 | 1.01 | .27 | .80 | 0.06 |
%MVIC, percentage maximal voluntary isometric contraction, SD, standard deviation; LT, lower trapezius; UT, upper trapezius; SA, serratus anterior; Y, y-raise exercise; YLTPS, y-raise exercise with lower trapezius taping after pectoralis minor stretching.
