Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study was to (a) compare the scapular kinematics of asymptomatic swimmers and healthy non-athletes and to (b) compare the scapular kinematics of the dominant and non-dominant shoulders in asymptomatic young swimmers.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This cross-sectional study included 27 volunteered asymptomatic young swimmers (mean age: 12.7 yrs) with at least 3 years of experience in a professional swimming club and 22 healthy non-athletes (mean age: 11.5 yrs). 3D scapular kinematics were evaluated at 0°, 30º, 60º, 90º, and 120º with the electromagnetic tracking system during bilateral arm elevation and lowering on the scapular plane. The differences in the scapular kinematics of the dominant and the non-dominant side in both groups were analyzed with 2 by 8 Mixed Model ANOVA.
