Overview

Cross-sectional study shows deficits in strength and performance in swimmers with shoulder pain, indicating impact on athletic ability.

Key Points

  • The aim is to assess how shoulder pain affects upper-extremity performance and muscle strength in swimmers.
  • Conducted a cross-sectional study with swimmers experiencing shoulder pain.
  • Measured physical performance and isometric muscle strength in participants.
  • Analyzed data to compare these measurements to a non-pain group.
  • Swimmers with shoulder pain exhibited significant deficits in physical performance.
  • Isometric strength was reduced in several upper-extremity components.
  • Findings highlight the relationship between pain and performance levels.
