Kabat Training Program With Elastic Bands for Shoulder in Amateur Swimmers
A study testing PNF training in people with Healthy, run by Universidad Europea de Madrid at 1 site in Spain.
Trial summary
It has been shown that 90% of swimmers experience shoulder pain at some point in their career. During the macrocycle, swimmers present significant alterations in the muscular balance between external and internal rotators of the shoulder: the IR assumes much prominence in strength levels and RE goes progressively… Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Kabat Training Program in Diagonal Pattern With Elastic Bands for Shoulder in Amateur Swimmers. A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
It has been shown that 90% of swimmers experience shoulder pain at some point in their career. During the macrocycle, swimmers present significant alterations in the muscular balance between external and internal rotators of the shoulder: the IR assumes much prominence in strength levels and RE goes progressively weaker.
furthermore, all overhead athletes (such as swimmers) present a glenohumeral Internal Rotation Deficit and an increase in External Rotation.
The objective of this study is to propose an exercise with an elastic band aimed to strengthening the RE of the shoulder to analyze the effects on the muscular balance between IR and RE. In addition, the effect caused in the limitation of internal rotation is going to be studied
