“…La prevalencia del dolor de hombro y el sexo no muestran relación, acorde con los resultados de otros estudios previos 13,18,21 . Sin embargo en la muestra de este estudio existe relación estadísticamente significativa (p=0,015) entre el IMC y la prevalencia del dolor de hombro, siendo más elevada entre los nadadores con mayor IMC.…”

“…Estudios previos han obtenido resultados en la misma dirección 1,9,13,18 . Las variables de exposición al entrenamiento, relacionadas en algunos estudios transversales con el dolor de hombro 1,9,18 no muestran relación estadísticamente significativa en esta muestra, en la misma línea que otros estudios longitudinales (retrospectivos 21 y prospectivos 17 ), y transversales 12,13 . Se requieren estudios de mayor tamaño muestral en cada grupo de edad para poder analizar esta relación.…”

“…Durante una fase de entrenamiento específico, en la que se encontraban los participantes en este estudio, se entrenan en mayor medida las pruebas y estilos específicos de cada nadador, lo que podría explicar la diferencia respecto a estudios previos que no han encontrado relaciones en este sentido 1,9,20,21 .…”

“…Thus, in this group, a large proportion of female athletes were injured, but male athletes incurred more injuries per athlete. In collegiate swimmers without disability, Wolf et al 19 found an injury prevalence of 72.7% in male and 70% in female athletes. Indeed, the pattern of injuries between men and women seems to shows few differences compared with the same sport among ablebodied athletes.…”

Context: Visually impaired athletes sustain overuse injuries in the lower limbs, but the pattern of injuries may vary according to the sport. The characteristics of sports injuries in visually impaired swimmers are unknown.Objective: To determine the characteristics and epidemiologic measures (prevalence, clinical incidence, and incidence rate) of sports injuries in visually impaired elite national swimmers and to assess differences among visual classes and between sexes.Design: Descriptive epidemiology study. Patients or Other Participants: Twenty-eight elite, visually impaired swimmers (19 males, 9 females) from the Brazilian Paralympic Team participated in this study. Twelve were visual class S11 (blind swimmers), 12 were S12 (low-vision swimmers), and 4 were S13 (low-vision swimmers).Intervention(s): A standardized report form was used to collect data during 5 competitions. This was endorsed by 2 Brazilian sports governing bodies.Main Outcome Measures: The characteristics, prevalence, clinical incidence, and incidence rate of injuries were calculated.Results: Eighteen athletes reported 41 sports injuries, with a prevalence of 64%, clinical incidence of 1.5 injuries per athlete, and an incidence rate of 0.3 injuries per athlete per competition. Overuse injuries (80%) were more frequent than traumatic injuries (20%). The clinical incidence and prevalence varied according to sex and visual class, but no statistical differences were observed (P . .05). The highest proportion of injuries was in the trunk (46.34%), followed by the upper limbs (34.15%). The shoulders (29.27%) were most affected, followed by the thoracic (21.95%) and lumbar spine (17.07%). Spasm (36.59%) was the most frequent diagnosis, followed by tendinopathy (26.83%).Conclusions: Visually impaired swimmers had a relatively high proportion of overuse injuries, predominantly associated with muscle spasm in the spine and tendinopathy in the shoulders. No differences were apparent in injury prevalence and clinical incidence among visual classes or between sexes.Key Words: epidemiology, disability sport, musculoskeletal injuries Key PointsVisually impaired swimmers experienced a relatively high proportion of overuse injuries during competition. Injuries were predominantly associated with muscle spasm in the spine and tendinopathy in the shoulders. No differences were observed in injury prevalence or clinical incidence among visual classes or between sexes.

“…In the present study, the prevalence of pain was mainly in the shoulder (39.6%), thigh (22.6%), knee (20.8%), foot (1.9%) and ankle regions (1.9%) showing that the percentage of pain on the foot and ankle decreased as compared to the one in that time, probably due to technical improvement of the leg stroke during swimming styles. According to Wolf et al 16 , when assessing athletes in a university in the USA, 37% of these students were injured, and the part mostly reported was the shoulder (31%), followed by the neck (23.7%) and back (19.8%).…”

OBJECTIVE: A natação é um esporte que vem se destacando nos últimos anos, sendo reconhecido que requer um elevado nível de treinamento e que gera sobrecarga musculoesquelética, a qual predispõe os nadadores a lesões. OBJETIVO: Verificar a prevalência e as regiões corporais com dor, correlacionando com o estilo principal e o tempo de prática nos nadadores do SERC em São Caetano do Sul. Método: Aplicação de um questionário com 19 perguntas em 71 atletas, sendo 30 do sexo feminino e 41 do masculino, nas categorias petiz (10 a 12 anos), infantil (12 a 14 anos), juvenil (14 a 16 anos), júnior (16 a 18 anos) e sênior (a partir dos 18 anos). As variáveis foram analisadas pelo teste de igualdade de duas proporções e Mann-Whitney. RESULTADOS: A prevalência de dor foi de 74,6% (n = 53; p < 0,001), sendo 39,6% (n = 21) no ombro e 22,6% (n = 12; p = 0,059) na coxa e o nado costas foi o único estilo que não apresentou correlação com a dor (p = 1,000), bem como com o tempo de prática (p = 0,075). CONCLUSION: Na população estudada houve alta prevalência de dor, sendo as regiões do ombro e da coxa as mais acometidas, não tendo correlação nem com o nado costas e tampouco com o tempo de prática esportiva.

Injury Patterns in Division I Collegiate Swimming

Abstract: Particular attention should be given to swimmers making the transition into collegiate level swimming. These data also suggest that injury surveillance and potential prevention strategies should focus on the shoulder for in-pool activities and the axial spine for cross-training activities.
