Abstract

Recent years, competitive swimming has developed rapidly, and shoulder injuries among swimmers have become a key issue affecting their athletic performance and career development. This paper orderly combs through the biomechanics of the shoulder, analyzes common types and mechanisms of shoulder injuries, such as rotator cuff tendinitis, subacromial impingement syndrome, biceps brachii long-head tendinitis, and labral injuries. It also explores how to effectively treat shoulder injuries using physical therapy techniques without affecting the competitive ability of swimmers. Research shows that repetitive abduction and external rotation leading to overloading of the rotator cuff is the core mechanism of injury. This paper emphasizes the optimization of technical movements through biomechanical analysis to reduce the incidence of shoulder injuries among swimmers, this paper focuses on the targeted strengthening of the rotator cuff muscles and the development of coordinated training programs for related muscle groups, aiming to provide a theoretical basis and practical guidance.
