Relationship between swimming performance and shoulder muscle strength in elite Chinese water polo players
National male water polo players have balanced muscle strength on their left and right sides, which contributes to improved swimming performance. In addition, the muscle strength characteristics of their shoulder flexion-extension and adduction-abduction muscle groups can be used as predictors of swimming performance. Conducting training is important to improve the swimming ability of water polo players as well as to better prevent the incidence of shoulder injuries.
