Deltoid muscle has an important role in shoulder stabilization and mobility, especially in sports enthusiasts who are active in various sports. An imbalance between muscle strength, muscle mass, and shoulder joint flexibility can increase the risk of injury and reduce performance. This study aims to analyze the correlation between deltoid muscle strength with arm muscle mass, and shoulder range of motion (ROM) in sport enthusiasts. This study is a cross-sectional observational study involving 31 sport enthusiasts, 11 hombres y 20 mujeres with characteristics of (age 23.10±3.57 years, height 163.61±7.21cm, body mass 60.27±9.71kg, and BMI 22.46±3.48 kg/m²). The data were analyzed using Spearman's rho test. There was a significant correlation between deltoid muscle strength and arm muscle mass in the right (p = 0.009; r = 0.459) and left (p < 0.001; r = 0.626) arms. In addition, left arm deltoid strength was significantly correlated with left shoulder ROM (p = 0.003; r = 0.514), however no significant relationship was found between muscle strength and ROM in the right arm. The results show the importance of an integrated evaluation of strength, muscle mass and joint mobility in designing safe and effective exercise programs. These findings can serve as a basis for trainers and therapists in preventing injury and optimizing shoulder functional performance in sport enthusiasts.
