Abstract

Background: "Swimmer's shoulder" is among the most prevalent problems in SWIMMING athletes. Shoulder dysfunction in swimmers has prevalence of 3-66% in different studies, where, no documented study was exist here in Iran. So all of the 144 swimmers participating in country's ladies championship competition in summer of 2000 were studied. Materials and methods: It was a descriptive analytic study. Personal characteristics, presence of pain, measurement of range of motion and muscle strength were all recorded in special data sheets. Results: 144 swimmers with mean age of 14.7±2.5 years have entered this study, where 16.7% had at least one kind of dysfunction in their shoulder, chiefly in the form of ANTERIOR INSTABILITY (6.94%), MULTIDIRECTIONAL INSTABILITY (7.63%), and BICIPITAL TENDONITIS (2.08%). In addition, no significant correlation was found between SWIMMING type and shoulder dysfunction, or between age, age of SWIMMING onset, height, weight, and dominant hand with shoulder problem. SWIMMING intensity in the pain free group was 536 min/week, whereas, it was reported 449 min/week in the painful athletes, but the difference was not statistically significant. Results have revealed significant correlation between backstroke and SHOULDER PAIN, meanwhile, severe SHOULDER PAIN and BICIPITAL TENDONITIS was reported in 3 members of a team who had begun their training programs just two weeks prior to the championship. Conclusion: Shoulder dysfunction is a noticeable problem in swimmers. Coaches should be taught scheduled training programs for the athletes. In addition, we strongly recommend the omission of backstroke in case of recurrent problems.
