Abstract:The aims of this study were to investigate the association among neuromuscular responses and athletic performance in swimmers during a training macrocycle. Thirty teenage swimmers were divided were evaluated during twenty weeks, scheduled on three stages. Besides athletic performance, surface electromyogram was realized on deltoideus medius and rectus femoris muscles. Maximal isometric strength results have showed direct correlation with jump (p<0.01), strengh (p<0.05) and power (p<0.001) measures for deltoideus medius and rectus femoris muscles. Maximal isometric strength was directly correlated with athletic performance in swimming.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
