Dry-Land Resistance Training Practices of Elite Swimming Strength and Conditioning Coaches

Abstract: Crowley, E, Harrison, AJ, and Lyons, M. Dry-land resistance training practices of elite swimming strength and conditioning coaches. J Strength Cond Res 32(9): 2592-2600, 2018-No research to date has investigated dry-land resistance (RT) training practices of elite swimming strength and conditioning coaches. This is the first comprehensive study exploring dry-land RT training practices in swimming. The aims of this study were to examine (a) the dry-land RT training practices and exercises used by elite swimming… Show more

“…There was no doubt that exercises with the use of retaining rubbers, free weights and different types of trainers not only increased the strength of the main muscles causing motive motion, but also contributed to muscle hypertrophy. It has been supported that large muscle hypertrophy and reduced flexibility could cause increased resistance in the water, which would negatively affect the performance of swimming [46]. Therefore, resistance training on land could only be conducted in conjunction with training in water, because due to the enormous amount of training in a natural environment for swimmers and a very large number of endurance exercises, it was unlikely that significant hypertrophy occurred [47,48].…”

“…Similarly, training sessions for sports such as rock climbing, swimming, and wrestling, could involve shorter bouts of intense exercise (2 to 7 min), with specific exercises that can mimic the musculoskeletal demands of each sport, with or without the addition of cardiovascular exercises [12,34,35]. When applied to team sports, sessions could utilize the multi-joint exercises that are common to training programs in these modalities, performed in a continuous circuit, interspersed with short bouts of intense sprints, as commonly occurs in these sports [36,37].…”

“…Circuit training is often employed when there is a need for concomitant improvements in muscular strength, power, endurance, and aerobic and anaerobic fitness [1]. Reports of the use of circuit training are common in the literature [11,12], and coaches often prescribe it as a time-efficient strategy to impose a significant metabolic stress on athletes, while muscular endurance and strength are also challenged [12]. Recently, Hermassi et al [2] provided further support to the effectiveness of circuit training programs in high-level athletes by showing significant improvements in muscular strength, power, and throwing velocity in a group of handball players over 10 weeks of the competitive season.…”

“…Dry-land training has a significant effect in improving the physical condition of athletes, as stated by de , "The positive effects of dry-land strength training, which target the upper limbs, on WP performance parameters have also been reported extensively". Other opinion regarding the effect of dry-land in improving the physical condition of athletes is according to Crowley et al, (2018) that, coaches proposed the inclusion of dry-land RT training programs to improve the swimmers power, strength, and physical capacity while also creating a robust and injury-free swimmer. This clearly indicates that the trainer must create an exercise program that can improve the athletes' swimming power, strength, physical capacity and injury avoidance techniques.…”
