The basics of synchronized swimming and its injuries
1Canadian Synchronized Swimming Team, Synchro Canada, Gloucester, Canada.
Abstract:
Synchronized swimming is a complex, physically demanding sport. It is a challenging and interesting sport for the sports medicine clinician. There is opportunity for involvement in program development and in the treatment of medical illness and injury. There is also great potential for clinical research in synchronized swimming because of the paucity of published literature. Greater understanding of the competitive structure, training requirements, and common medical presentations facilitate the management of synchronized swimmers.

Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...
