The incidence and risk factors of shoulder pain in junior competitive swimmers
Conclusions This study showed that low shoulder flexibility were significantly associated with shoulder pain. To apply these findings practically to identify swimmers who may be at increased risk of developing shoulder pain and the use of proper preventive programs may prevent shoulder pain.

A systematic review of parameters related to cycling overuse injuries or pain
Introduction: The high prevalence of injury and pain, both traumatic and overuse, in cycling and the increasing popularity of the sport create concerns about injury prevention and a need to understand risk factors associated with injury. Historically, overuse injury management in cyclists has emphasised features of bicycle geometry such as seat height and seat horizontal position, seat to bars distance, as well as cleat alignment and position. Other measures such as the knee angle at the bottom of the pedal stroke (BDC) and a “Knee Plumb Line” measure are used extensively in bike-fit as indicators of optimal function b...

Wrist Injuries in Tennis Players: A Narrative Review
AbstractThe wrist/hand complex forms the crucial final link in the kinetic chain between the body and the racquet and therefore has a number of important roles in the production of all tennis strokes. However, the internal and external loads that are created at the wrist during these strokes have the potential to contribute to pain and injury. Therefore, the purposes of this narrative review are to (1) determine the extent of the problem of wrist pain/injury in tennis players, (2) identify bony and soft tissue structures of the wrist that are susceptible to damage as a result of tennis play and (3) explore factors that may...

Is There Evidence that Runners can Benefit from Wearing Compression Clothing?
Conclusion Our present findings suggest that by wearing compression clothing, runners may improve variables related to endurance performance (i.e., time to exhaustion) slightly, due to improvements in running economy, biomechanical variables, perception, and muscle temperature. They should also benefit from reduced muscle pain, damage, and inflammation.

Exercise and Sports Science Australia (ESSA) Position Statement on Exercise and spinal cord injury
Publication date: Available online 9 March 2016 Source:Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport Author(s): Sean M Tweedy, Emma M Beckman, Tim Geraghty, Daniel Theisen, Claudio Perret, Lisa A Harvey, Yves C Vanlandewijck Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) may result in tetraplegia (motor, sensory and/or autonomic nervous system impairment of the arms, trunk and legs) or paraplegia (impairment of the trunk and/or legs only). The adverse effects of SCI on health, fitness and functioning are frequently compounded by profoundly sedentary behaviour. People with paraplegia (PP) and tetraplegia (TP) have reduced exercise ...

Physiologic and Perceptual Responses to Cold-Shower Cooling After Exercise-Induced Hyperthermia.
CONCLUSIONS:  Although the CS facilitated cooling rates faster than no treatment, clinicians should continue to advocate for accepted cooling modalities and use CS only if no other validated means of cooling are available. PMID: 26942657 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Three-dimensional Torso Motion in Tethered Front Crawl Stroke and Its Implications to Low Back Pain.
Authors: Du T, Narita I, Yanai T Abstract Low back pain is a common problem among competitive swimmers and repeated torso hyperextension is claimed to be an etiological factor. The purpose of this study was to describe the three-dimensional torso configurations in the front crawl stroke and to test the hypothesis that swimmers experience torso hyperextension consistently across the stroke cycles. Nineteen collegiate swimmers underwent two measurements: a measurement of the active range of motion in three dimensions and a measurement of tethered front crawl stroke at their maximal effort. Torso extension beyond the ...

Risk factors for shoulder pain and injury in swimmers: A critical systematic review.
Authors: Hill L, Collins M, Posthumus M Abstract Swimming is one of the most popular recreational and competitive sporting activities. In the 2013/2014 swimming season, 9630 men and 12,333 women were registered with the National Collegiate Athletics Association in the USA. The repetitive nature of the swimming stroke and demanding training programs of its athletes raises a number of concerns regarding incidence and severity of injuries that a swimmer might experience during a competitive season. A number of risk factors have previously been identified but the level of evidence from individual studies, as well as th...

Medical Care of the Aquatics Athlete
Abstract: Competitive swimmers are affected by several musculoskeletal and medical complaints that are unique to the sport. Swimmer’s shoulder, the most common overuse injury, is usually caused by some combination of impingement, rotator cuff tendinopathy, scapular dyskinesis, and instability. The condition may be treated with training modifications, stroke error correction, and strengthening exercises targeting the rotator cuff, scapular stabilizers, and core. Implementation of prevention programs to reduce the prevalence of shoulder pathology is crucial. Knee pain usually results from the breaststroke kick in swimmers,...

Abstract Competitive swimmers are affected by several musculoskeletal and medical complaints that are unique to the sport. 'Swimmer's shoulder,' the most common overuse injury, is usually caused by some combination of impingement, rotator cuff tendinopathy, scapular dyskinesis, and instability. The condition may be treated with training modifications, stroke error correction, and strengthening exercises targeting the rotator cuff, scapular stabilizers, and core.

Stroke in a Young Swimmer
Conclusions: Important differential diagnoses of cervicocephalic arterial dissection include other vascular or neurological causes of head and neck pain and/or local neurological syndromes and other causes of brain ischemia such as cardiac emboli, atherosclerosis, and vasculopathy of brain vessels. It is important that sports medicine practitioners pay attention to this less-diagnosed cause of stroke in young athletes.,Introduction: Arterial dissections are important causes of stroke in the young population. Dissection has been reported in association with some sports. It seems that this report is among the first ones of t...

Ergometer training volume and previous injury predict back pain in rowing; strategies for injury prevention and rehabilitation
The most commonly reported injury site in rowers is the lower back. Research in recent years has focused on epidemiology and biomechanical analyses to try and understand mechanisms that contribute to this injury's onset. Injury surveillance mainly comprises retrospective questionnaires and reviews of medical records with a lack of prospective data. Of studies that reported 12-month data, the incidence of low back pain ranged from 31.8 to 51% of the cohort. Of the limited studies that specifically examined low back pain in rowers, (1) history of lumbar spine injury and (2) volume of ergometer training were the most signific...

Facial baroparesis: a critical differential diagnosis for scuba diving accidents--case report.
Abstract Facial nerve baroparesis is a rare and potentially under-reported complication of scuba diving. A diver, after surfacing from a shallow dive, developed isolated left-sided facial palsy accompanied by pain and decreased hearing in the left ear. No other signs or symptoms attributable to a scuba diving accident were detected. Forty minutes later, he heard a "pop" in the affected ear, after which all symptoms quickly resolved. Repeat neurological and ear examinations were normal. He showed no residual or new symptoms 24 hours later. The differential diagnosis of facial neurological deficit after diving inclu...
