Swimming is generally accepted as a sport with minimal physical injuries. However, swimmers frequently complain of shoulder pain, termed ”swimmers shoulder”, which is thought to be a form of overused disorder. We investigated the factors related to shoulder pain in a cohort of elite swimmers in an attempt to isolate causes of this disorder. The subjects include 123 swimmers selected to participate in the Japan swimming championships between 1996 and 2000. Each participant had undergone complete medical examinations at the time of their competition. A study questionnaire was employed which asked the subject to grade the severity of their shoulder pain asked whether they trained with paddles and flippers, practiced any weight training, tubing and swim bench, did any stretching, and asked them to describe the type of swimming events in which they participated. The McNemar test and chi-square test were used in the statistical analysis. The incidence of shoulder pain was higher in swimmers who used paddles and flippers (p<0.01) and pain occurred more frequently during the weight training (p<0.01). Swimmers who stretched experienced a lower incidence of shoulder pain (p<0.01). There were no significant relationships between the shoulder pain and the type of swimming events or the practice of tubing and swim bench. : The use of the paddles and flippers as a training method needs to be investigated further as this appears statistically related to the development of ”swimmers shoulder”, a frequently cited overuse disorder among the swimming population. Furthermore, the practice of performing stretching exercises appears to prevent shoulder pain in this population and should be included, as part of the warm-up routine.
