Relationships between dry land strength, power variables and short sprint performance in young competitive swimmers

Abstract: The aim of this study was to identify the dry land strength and power tests that can better relate with sprint swimming performance in young competitive swimmers. Twenty-eight (16 boys and 12 girls) young competitive swimmers of national level (12.01 ± 0.56 years-old, Tanner stage 1-2) volunteered to participate in this study. Swimming performance (25 m and 50 m freestyle sprint tests), muscle strength (bench press and leg extension) and muscle power (throwing medicine ball and countermovement jump) performanc… Show more

“…These findings are in agreement with the findings of the present research. Garrido et al (2010) studied the effects of classical weight training among 16 female and 12 male participants of age average 12,01±0,56, and reported significant changes in participants' 25-metre sprint and 50-metre sprint times (p<0,05). Their findings are in agreement with the findings of the present research.…”

“…Swimming is a sport branch that combines a number of factors such as high-level muscular strength, technical skill, coordination, rhythm, speed, explosive strength and correct technique (Garrido et al, 2010;Morouço et al, 2012;Yapıcı et al, 2016). The fact that swimming is of great benefit to children in terms of heart, lung capacity, endurance, flexibility, balance, physical appearance, muscle strength and weight control (Malina and Bouchard, 1991;Çelebi, 2008) has been regarded as both as a sport and a recreational activity in recent years.…”
