Study population: This cross-sectional study included volunteer young swimmers with at least 3 years of experience in a professional swimming club and healthy non-athletes participants. The swimmer training program includes swimming training 6 days a week (10 hours in total), and 3 land training (3 hours in total) including a general strengthening program (strength of the posterior shoulder musculature, core, squats, pull-ups, etc.) and stretching the anterior shoulder musculature.
Who may be able to join
- Absence of shoulder pain in the last 6 months,
- No discomfort in the shoulder joint during swimming,
- Use of symmetrical breathing patterns in training competitions
Who cannot join
- Participants with a history of upper extremity injury (dislocation, fracture, muscle strain, etc.),
- Pain in clinical tests (Hawkins and Neer),
- Those who did not attend training regularly.

About this study
Official title: Scapular Kinematics of Asymptomatic Young Swimmers During Dynamic Shoulder Elevation
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.
Read the detailed description
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.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
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.

Primary outcome
Scapular Kinematic
Time frame: one year
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.
Results and safety
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Scapula Injuries, run by Hacettepe University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Dec 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Scapular Kinematic (time frame: one year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Dec 2022.
