This presentation explores in depth the biomechanics of the shoulder in swimmers, particularly during the propulsion and swing phases of the front crawl stroke. Open and closed kinetic chains are analyzed to better understand stress zones and injury risks. Emphasis is placed on scapular stabilization and specific exercises to prevent shoulder pain.
""The serve is both the most important and the most unhealthy movement in tennis.""
""Soft strings, soft racket, soft ball – that's the rule to protect your shoulder.""
""The player needs to be relaxed to avoid tensions that cause injuries.""
