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?
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.
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.
These results can inform future studies on injury prevention and risk mitigation strategies in swimmers.
肩部问题在游泳运动员中很常见。以往的研究主要集中在精英游泳运动员身上。我们的研究问题是：1）安大略省年龄组游泳运动员中肩部问题的患病率是多少？2）患病率与年龄、性别和游泳年限有何关系？
对来自安大略省两个俱乐部的青少年游泳运动员进行了横断面调查。使用奥斯陆运动创伤研究中心过度使用损伤问卷（OSTRC）评估肩部问题的四周患病率。构建了患病率（%）及其95%置信区间（95%CI），并使用交叉表和卡方检验研究了不同年龄、性别和游泳年限的患病率。
共完成83份调查问卷（回复率50%）。肩部疼痛的四周患病率为35%（95%CI 25%，45%）。肩部问题与年龄、性别或游泳年限无显著相关性。
这些结果可为未来关于游泳运动员损伤预防和风险缓解策略的研究提供参考。
