Abstract:
Background: Swimming and, specifically, front crawl, can be included among the \"overhead\" sports. Overhead sports are a risk factor for some problems of the musculoskeletal system, especially the shoulder. The aim of this study was to assess the incidence of shoulder and neck pain in a Masters Swimming Team and its correlation with the crawl stroke. Methods: This is an observational study through video-analysis of the stroke and a questionnaire. The participants selected for the present study were 61 athletes of a Masters team, whose prevailing training stroke was the front crawl. Their stroke was analyzed during training using a go-pro camera mounted on a sliding trolley on a track, evaluating their technical defects with their trainer. A questionnaire about frequency of shoulder and neck pain during the last five years was administered to all the participants at the study. Results: From the questionnaire, 45 and 55 out of 61 athletes had suffered from shoulder pain and cervical pain, respectively. Both types of pain were correlated with the weekly swimming volume. The swimmers with hyperflexion of the wrist and prolonged internal rotation in the pulling phase had shoulder problems. Those who suffered from current shoulder pain reduced the underwater time. The four swimmers with an excessive body roll during breathing and those who kept their heads extended, reported cervical pain. Conclusions: Shoulder and neck pain could be prevented with the correction of specific technical errors in crawl stroke.
摘要:
背景:游泳和,具体来说,正面爬行,可以包括在“开销”运动中。头顶运动是肌肉骨骼系统一些问题的危险因素,尤其是肩膀。这项研究的目的是评估大师游泳队肩颈疼痛的发生率及其与爬行中风的相关性。方法:这是一项通过对中风进行视频分析和问卷调查的观察性研究。本研究选择的参与者是大师队的61名运动员,他们的主要训练行程是前面的爬行。他们的中风在训练过程中使用安装在轨道上的滑车上的go-pro摄像机进行分析,与培训师一起评估他们的技术缺陷。对研究中的所有参与者进行了关于过去五年中肩部和颈部疼痛频率的问卷调查。结果:从问卷中,61名运动员中有45名和55名患有肩痛和颈椎疼痛,分别。两种类型的疼痛都与每周游泳量相关。在提拉阶段,手腕过度屈曲和内部旋转时间延长的游泳者有肩部问题。那些患有当前肩部疼痛的人减少了水下时间。四名游泳者在呼吸时身体过度滚动,而那些头部保持伸展的游泳者,报告颈椎疼痛。结论:通过纠正爬行中风中的特定技术错误,可以预防肩颈疼痛。
