Objectives: To establish muscle-strength and -balance profiles for shoulder external rotation (ER) and internal rotation (IR) in master's swimmers. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Laboratory. Participants: Six male and seven female master's swimmers and a matched control group. Measurements: Concentric and eccentric ER and IR shoulder movements were recorded (Kin-Com™ isokinetic dynamometer). Peak-torque values, concentric ER:IR ratios, eccentric ER:IR (conventional) ratios, and eccentric ER:concentric IR (functional) ratios were examined between groups. Results: Mean peak-torque values ranged from 21.23 to 37.69 N · m for the swimmers, which, although 15% to 27% greater than those of the controls, were not statistically different. Conventional (0.78:0.86) and functional (1.06:1.17) ratios did not differ between groups. Conclusions: These data will contribute to the development of guidelines for assessing shoulder-muscle strength in Master's swimmers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
