The serratus anterior contributes more to shoulder pain than any other shoulder muscle. Numerous studies, dating back to the early '90s have identified this muscle as a large contributor to shoulder pain, unfortunately many coaches and swimmers have never heard of this muscle. How do we expect shoulder injuries to decrease, if one of the most influential muscles in shoulder pain isn't even heard of by the coaching community?

This article will discuss the serratus anterior in detail, then discuss the role of the serratus anterior in healthy swimmers and injured swimmers.

The serratus anterior is highly active in healthy shoulders. This muscle moves the shoulder blade during overhead movement, preventing impingement of the rotator cuff muscles. The serratus anterior also provides should blade stability, an essential component of healthy swimming. nbsp;Here is the research on the serratus anterior in healthy swimmers.

The results show the three heads of the deltoid and the supraspinatus functioning in synchrony to place the arm at hand entry and exit, the rhomboids and upper trapezius to position the scapula for the arm, the pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi to propel the body, the subscapularis and serratus anterior as muscles with constant muscle activity, the teres minor functioning with the pectoralis major, and the infraspinatus active only to externally rotate the arm at midrecovery (Pink 2001).

The serratus anterior helped to pull the body over the arm by reversing its origin and insertion. Overall, the serratus anterior and the subscapularis maintained a high level of activation throughout the stroke; thus, these muscles were highly susceptible to fatigue and vulnerable to injury (Pink 1993).

Both the serratus anterior and teres minor muscles in the swimmers with normal shoulders consistently fired at or above 15% manual muscle test throughout the breaststroke cycle and were thus subject to fatigue. Based on these results, exercises for the breaststroke swimmer should be directed toward endurance training of the serratus anterior and teres minor muscles while balancing the internal and external rotators of the shoulder as well as the deltoid and supraspinatus muscles (Ruwe 1994).

It is clear in three of the strokes (no studies on back), the serratus anterior is highly active despite its unfamiliarity on the pool deck. How does the swimming community neglect a muscle which activates during the entire swimming stroke?

Healthy shoulders are easy, but painful shoulders are a different animal. Despite all the supposed variation between shoulder injuries, one muscle is continually discussed in swimmer's shoulder. I think you can guess which muscle, but let's hammer the point home.

The teres minor and serratus anterior revealed significantly less muscle action throughout pulling as they respectively failed to balance the humeral rotation and did not reverse their origins and insertions to pull the body over the arm.
