“…The authors also noted an improvement in horizontal jump, vertical jump, and push-ups after the prescribed 8-week training block. Similar conclusions were drawn by Gönener et al [ 20 ], who stated that training with the use of Thera-Band tapes (including their use to engage core muscles) improves the performance of swimmers. Core muscle training has been widely researched in the recent years, and even though it seems like there is an universal conviction that the correct strength of stabilizing muscles improves the athletic level of competitors, some papers show only marginal impact of this type of training on the final sporting success [ 7 , 10 , 19 ].…”

The aim of this study was to assess the impact of a 6-week specialized training program aimed at strengthening core muscles to improve the effectiveness of selected elements of a swimming race on a group of Polish swimmers. Sixteen male national level swimmers (21.6 ± 2.2 years) participated in the research. The competitors were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 groups before the data collection process: an experimental (EG, n = 8) and a control (CG, n = 8) group. Both groups of swimmers underwent the same training program in the water environment (volume and intensity), while swimmers from the EG additionally performed specific core muscle training. The task of the swimmers was an individual front crawl swim of 50 m, during which the kinematic parameters of the start jump, turn and swimming techniques were recorded using a video camera system. In both groups, a minor increase in the flight phase was observed at the start (EG = 0.06 m, 1.8%; p = 0 . 088 ; CG = 0.08 m, 2.7%; p = 0 . 013 ). The time to cover a distance of 5 m after the turn and the recorded average speed in swimming this distance for the EG statistically significantly improved by 0.1 s (-28.6%; p < 0 . 001 ) and 3.56 m∙s -1 (23.2%; p = 0 . 001 ), respectively. In the EG, a statistically significant improvement in 50 m front crawl swimming performance of 0.3 s (-1.2%, p = 0 . 001 ) was observed. The results of the research show that the implementation of isolated strengthening of the stabilizing muscles seems to be a valuable addition to the standard training of swimmers.

“…However, contradictory results are also seen on their effect on the performance (Cissik, 2011;Patil et al, 2014). In alignment with the performed study, Gönener et al (2017) found out that core exercises have effects on 100 m swimming performance of male swimmers aged 13-15, with back stroke style and they emphasize that core exercises should be used in groundwork exercises. Patil et al (2014) state that, as a result of the study they carried out with 60 young swimmers with a mean age of 14,2±1,49, 6 weeks of core exercises have effect on 50 m free style swimming (p<0,05).…”

With this study, it is aimed to review the effects of 8-week core exercises, which are scheduled before the routine exercises, on changes over certain physical and motoric attributes and freestyle swimming performance of female athletes of the youngest age group, which is 9-12. For the study, a group of 12 female licensed swimmers who had a swimming background of 3 years in city of Van is chosen to be core exercise group (CEG) and set as experimental group. And 12 female swimmers are chosen to be in control group. The athletes are scheduled to perform regular swimming exercises for competition, five days a week and for approximately 90 minutes per day. In addition to control group, CEG is scheduled to perform 20 minutes of low intensity, fixed duration and repetitive core exercises before every routine exercise for 8 weeks. Chosen measurements are obtained from the athletes both at the beginning and after 8 weeks and the change between pretest and posttest values is evaluated. For the statistical data analysis, nonparametric tests of Wilcoxon and Mann Whitney U tests are used. As a results of the study, the group of swimmers aged 9-12 who underwent 8 weeks of low intensity core exercises showed differences compared to pretest and posttest values of control group, even though not statistically significant (p>0,05). As a result, compared to the control group, a 1-2 seconds of decreaseespecially when it is a very important amount for this sport -in 25 m and 50 m free style swimming ranks is attributed to the effect of core exercises, and it is reckoned that low intensity core exercises may positively affect the free style swimming performance of female swimmers aged 9-12.

“…Also, Gencer [19] observed that during the experiment, there was a significant improvement in time needed to swim the distance of 50 meters by the experimental group in relation to the control group [19]. Similar conclusions came from Gönener et al [20], who after the tests stated that training with the use of Thera-Band tapes (including engaging core muscles) improves the performance of swimmers [20]. Despite the interest of the authors of numerous publications on the issue of core muscle training and despite the universal recognition that the right strength of stabilizing muscles improves the athletic level of competitors, there are papers that show only the marginal impact of this training on the final sporting success [7,10,19].…”

23 The aim of this study was to assess the impact of a 6-week specialized training program aimed at 24 strengthening core muscles to improve the effectiveness of selected elements of a swimming race in 25 group of elite polish swimmers. Sixteen male national and international level swimmers (21.6 ± 2.2 26 years) participated in the research. The competitors were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 groups before 27 the data collection process: an experimental (EG, n = 8) and control (CG, n = 8) group. Both groups 28 of swimmers carried out the same training program in the water environment (volume and intensity), 29 while swimmers from EG additionally carried out the specific core muscle training. The task of the 30 swimmers was an individual swim of 50 meters freestyle, during which the kinematic parameters of 31 start, turn and swimming techniques were recorded using the video camera system. In both groups a 32 minor increase in the flight phase was observed during the start (EG=0.06 m, 1.8%; p=0.088; CG = 33 0.08 m, 2.7%; p=0.013). The time of the distance 5 m after the turn and the recorded average speed 34 of swimming this distance in EG statistically significant improved accordingly 0.1 s (-28.6%; 35 p<0.001) and 3.56 m•s -1 (23.2%; p=0.001). In EG, a statistically significant improvement in 50-m 36 freestyle performance was observed by 0.3 s (-1.2%, p = 0.001). The results of the research show that 37 the implementation of isolated strength of the stabilizing muscles seems to be a valuable addition to 38 the standard training of swimmers. 39 40
