Article Synopsis
- Asymmetries in swimming can be caused by inefficient techniques or limb coordination, leading to reduced propulsion and increased drag.
- The study compared isokinetic peak torque asymmetries in shoulder movements of competitive swimmers at two speeds (60°/s and 180°/s) using an isokinetic dynamometer.
- Results indicated greater asymmetry in internal rotation and flexion at the slower speed, suggesting that understanding these asymmetries can help create tailored training programs to improve swimming efficiency and coordination.
Objective: To indicate the benefits and limitations of the isokinetic test results for the performance of the main shoulder joint movements in swimmers, considering the different competitive levels, swimming techniques, race distances, and sex.
Methods: Search on the PubMed, CENTRAL, Medline, LILACS, and SCOPUS databases for the oldest records up to October 2022. Risk of bias, methodological quality, and level of evidence were evaluated based on the NHLBI checklist.
