Scapular protraction is moving the scapula (shoulder blade) forward. The opposite is scapular retraction. To "feel" the definition, first try retraction -- pull your shoulders back to squeeze your shoulder blades together as if you're trying to hold a pencil between them. Now do the opposite -- that opposite movement is scapular protraction.
