Abstract

Background: Shoulder problems are common in swimmers. Previous research has focused on elite swimmers. Our research questions were: 1) what is the prevalence of shoulder problems among Ontario age group swimmers and 2) how does prevalence relate to age, sex and years of experience?

Methods: A cross sectional survey was administered to youth swimmers from two Ontario clubs. Oslo Sports Trauma Research Centre Overuse Injury Questionnaire (OSTRC) was used to assess four-week prevalence of shoulder problems. Prevalence (%) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) was constructed and prevalence across age, sex and years of experience was investigated using cross-tabulations and chi-square tests.

Results: There were 83 surveys completed (response rate 50%). The 4-week prevalence of shoulder pain was 35% (95% CI 25%, 45%). Shoulder problems were not significantly related to age, sex or years of experience.

Conclusion: These results can inform future studies on injury prevention and risk mitigation strategies in swimmers.

在安大略省的青少年游泳者肩部问题的流行。

背景:肩部问题在游泳者中很常见。之前的研究主要集中在优秀游泳运动员身上。我们的研究问题是:1)安大略省年龄组游泳者肩部问题的患病率是多少? 2)患病率与年龄、性别和经验年数有何关系?方法:对安大略省两家俱乐部的青少年游泳运动员进行横断面调查。使用奥斯陆运动创伤研究中心过度使用损伤问卷(OSTRC)来评估四周肩部问题的患病率。构建95%置信区间(95% CI)的患病率(%)，并使用交叉表和卡方检验调查不同年龄、性别和经验年限的患病率。结果:共完成问卷调查83份，回复率50%。4周肩关节疼痛发生率为35% (95% CI为25%，45%)。肩部问题与年龄、性别或经验年数没有显著关系。结论:这些结果可以为未来游泳运动员损伤预防和风险缓解策略的研究提供信息。
