Abstract

Through the researcher's work as a swimming trainer, she noticed that there are problems in the shoulder area for some swimmers that affect their performance. Therefore, the researcher wanted to design a rehabilitation program to raise the functional efficiency of the shoulder girdle muscles outside the water, because of its importance for freestyle swimmers, which requires high ability and axial movement of the body, as well as the importance of shoulder flexibility. In the performance of the swimmer's fluid movement, swimmers can develop the strength and flexibility necessary to improve their performance in the water, which contributes to achieving better results. through the functional efficiency of the shoulder girdle muscles in the experimental research sample underway. The study, improving the elements of physical fitness in the experimental research sample under study, improving the distance traveled for arm movements, crawling on the abdomen, and vital capacity in the experimental research sample under study, the researcher used the experimental approach for the control and experimental groups, and one of the most important conclusions was the proposed rehabilitation program Under research, it had a high impact in reducing shoulder girdle muscle pain. The proposed rehabilitation program has a positive and effective effect on the variables under study. Among the most important recommendations is the application of a preventive program to treat pain in the muscles of the shoulder girdle in all sports clubs in order to reduce this pain and strengthen the muscles surrounding this area.
