Abstract

In no other sport do the national record tables change faster than swimming. Our coaches ask themselves what in the world swimmers are better at than ours.

This is not an easy question to answer. There are more reasons.

Certain qualitative differences in preparation are also found outside the pool. Our collective monograph tries to connect a view of the possible risks of overloaded body segments, specifically the shoulder girdle, and important elements of non-swimming strength training in particular.
