INTRODUCTION. Prevention,
rehabilitation and training of the shoulder for athlets that use the
overhead movement had suffered a lot of improvements in the last
decade. Due to these progresses the athlets can return on the
field much sooner then before. The background of these
improvements consist in a better understanding of
the shoulder complex from the anatomical point of view, taking into
consideration the biomechanical aspects specific
for different sports and developement of the ability to
transfer and integrate these informations aiming to improve sport
performance. Even if in the literature
are described extended researches in cinetics and kinematics in
different sports, most of
the studies were centered on
baseball and only a few publications are foccused on shoulder pathology
in volleyball. For this reason
the present research wish to identify the
existent relationships between
potential limitating factors, mainly traumatic
issues, and the impact on sport performance.
AIMS. The
research foccus on the determination of mechanical stress in the
shoulder for the strike attack in volleyball, aiming to determinate the
determinant-facilitating factors involved in
overuse trauma mechanism, to elaborate and implementate
a prophylactical programmme included into
the training session, finnaly leading to
prevention of rotator cuff tendinitis and impingement syndrome in
volleyball.
METHOD.The present study was carried on a group
formed of 12 women volleyball players, medium age 22,3 years,
height 173,5 cm and weight 63,45 kg, components of the team
University of Craiova, during august 2006 and july 2007. We used the
goniometric method and statistic methods for data standardisation
(Student test, Anova and control test Newman-Keuls).
Synthetising the obtained informations we had elaborate a
prophylactical programme for prevention of rotator cuff
tendinitis and impingement syndrome. Measurements were
carried out before and after application of the programme.
RESULTS.
A significant improvement of the amplitude of shoulder joint
movements was found after application of the programme, internal
rotation for the dominant limb increased with
12%. Medium values for muscular forces
investigated increased with a value between 3% - 23%.
CONCLUSION.
Improvement of the investigated parameters show the practical
efficiency of the proposed programme leading to improvement of muscular
and joint imbalance.
KEY WORDS: prophylaxix,
