Rod Havriluk (USA) - Skill Acquisition and Injury Prevention:
The technique elements that optimise performance are consistent with preventing injury. Unfortunately, most swimmers (over 95%) have harmful technique elements that stress their shoulders and also limit their performance.
Fortunately, there are 'deliberate practice' strategies that can help swimmers master the skills that optimise performance and minimise shoulder stress. Research shows that deliberate practice (DP) strategies also accelerate the skill-learning process.
DP strategies for swimming include: precise wording of specific cues; skill-isolation drills; short-distance swims at a slow rate; continual focus on select cues; reinforcement of positive technique elements; feedback about limiting factors; classroom and poolside instruction and analysis; solo practice with and without a coach; task designed to maintain focus in the cognitive and associative learning stages; and replication of superior performance.
This presentation will include examples of DP strategies with an emphasis on technique adjustments to prevent shoulder injuries.
