Progressive Physical Training of Swimming for College Students

Abstract

Introduction: It is necessary to adjust the physical training of swimmers according to their physical conditions, being the progressive stages method the most indicated nowadays. However, this is not the most observed technique in teaching swimming to college students. Objective: Study a protocol for applying progressive physical training in teaching swimming to college students. Methods: In one semester of teaching swimming sports, two volunteer students (n=40) classes were selected for the experiment. Equally divided into experimental and control group, the experimental group trained according to the phased physical training, while the control trained according to the usual semester physical training program. Before and after the experiment, the relevant indices were measured. Results: Compared with constant general physical training, progressive physical training can provide better guidance of necessary training according to the actual situation of students, and the efficiency of optimization on body composition is more evident during the semester. Conclusion: Selecting progressive physical training and adjusting training items and intensity according to students’ actual situation can amplify the effect of swimming instruction on college students, its promotion is suggested.
