Shoulder pain is a common syndrome in swimming and affects a large number of competitive swimmers. The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between pain in the shoulder girdle and the endurance of the trunk muscles in young swimmers. A total of 24 boys and 22 girls, aged 13 to 18 years, participated in the study. The measurements included the completion of a questionnaire (Shoulder Pain and Disability Index, SPADI) and a field test (McGill's Torso Muscular Endurance Test). The total SPADI score correlated weakly and negatively with the endurance time of back muscles in both sexes (r = 0.10, = 0.035), and moderately and negatively in girls (r = 0.23, = 0.023). A weak negative correlation was found between the disability index and the back muscles' endurance time in both sexes (r = 0.15, = 0.007), which was moderate in girls only (r = 0.25, = 0.019). The disability index displayed moderate negative correlations with the right oblique's (r = 0.18, = 0.049) and left oblique's endurance time (r = 0.23, = 0.024) in girls. Weight, body mass index, the total out-of-water training time per week and age significantly affected the endurance times of the trunk muscles in boys and girls ( < 0.05). In conclusion, strengthening the dorsal and the oblique muscles could reduce shoulder pain and disability in young swimmers and especially girls.
肩部疼痛是游泳运动中常见的综合征，影响着大量竞技游泳运动员。本研究的目的是调查年轻游泳运动员肩带疼痛与躯干肌肉耐力之间的关系。共有24名年龄在13至18岁之间的男孩和22名女孩参与了该研究。测量内容包括完成一份问卷（肩部疼痛与功能障碍指数，SPADI）和一项现场测试（麦吉尔躯干肌肉耐力测试）。SPADI总分在两性中均与背部肌肉的耐力时间呈弱负相关（r = 0.10，P = 0.035），在女孩中呈中度负相关（r = 0.23，P = 0.023）。在两性中，功能障碍指数与背部肌肉的耐力时间之间均发现弱负相关（r = 0.15，P = 0.007），仅在女孩中呈中度相关（r = 0.25，P = 0.019）。在女孩中，功能障碍指数与右侧斜肌的耐力时间（r = 0.18，P = 0.049）和左侧斜肌的耐力时间（r = 0.23，P = 0.024）呈中度负相关。体重、身体质量指数、每周总陆上训练时间和年龄对男孩和女孩的躯干肌肉耐力时间有显著影响（P < 0.05）。总之，加强背部和斜肌的力量可以减轻年轻游泳运动员尤其是女孩的肩部疼痛和功能障碍。
