Shoulder Impingement - Can be a problem with tennis players, swimmers and cricket
bowlers. The repeated action of the arm going up or coming down can lead
to this, especially when players do more than their ususal, by trying
increase their training intensity before or during their tournaments.
The person usually complains of pain with the arm coming down, as in during a tennis serve or a bowling action. There is a tendon called the supraspinatus tendon that gets pinched between two bony prominences at the shoulder, leading to pain and discomfort.
Precautions to avoid - Avoid sudden increase in training level. Adequate in-between rest periods. Proper technique, are some of them.
