Cause of injuries in swimmers
• Poor stroke mechanics
• Poor flexibility or range of motion of neck or lower back
• Hyper flexibility of joints with insufficient muscular stabilisation
• Decreased rotator cuff or scapular muscle strength
• Insufficient core strength/stability
• Decreased hip muscle strength
• Overtraining
• Insufficient rest periods
