摘要：Background. Swimming is a popular sport that encompasses individual of all ages that swim for fitness, recreation and competition. In swimmers, the great number of stroke repetitions and force Generated through the upper extremity leaves the shoulder uniquely vulnerable to Injury. As competitive swimmers usually train 11000-15000 yards/day, using freestyle arm stroke for most of the distance. And with incorrect faulty mechanics leads to repetitive micro trauma at the shoulder joint leads to shoulder pain, muscle weakness and dynamic muscle imbalance that alters the normal scapular positioning and biomechanics where scapula fails to perform its stabilizer role and shoulder function become insufficient. The manual methods such as lateral scapula slide test are highly reliable in measuring the scapular position in swimmer. Purpose. The purpose of this study was to assess alteration scapular position in swimmers following high intensity swim training. Methods. 43 swimmers were participated in study. A repeated measures design used and two position of the LSST (lateral scapula slide test) were used. All measurements in each position were taken bilaterally. The LSST was administrated in participated swimmers at different level of training. All subjects had no present or past history of with a recent shoulder, cervical or thoracic injury or shoulder pain that interfered with swim training. Results. The data revealed statically highly significant difference for LSST position 2 on right side (p=0.001) and left side (p=0.002).and highly significant for LSST position 3 on left side (p=0.001) and significant on the right side (p= 0.028). Conclusion. The present finding suggests that high intensity training programme was effective an alteration in scapular position at different level of swim training in swimmers. The LSST can be reliable in screening scapular position. (M.Padasala, J.Bhatt, R.D’Onofrio. Alteration in scapular position with high intensity training- A study in competitive swimmer.
