This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of high, moderate, and low resistance training volume-load of maximum strength training on muscle strength and swimming performance in competitive swimmers. Thirty-three male swimmers were randomly allocated to high (age = 16.5 ± 0.30 years), moderate (age = 16.1 ± 0.32 years) and a low resistance training volume-load group (age = 15.9 ± 0.31). This study was carried out in mid-season (January to March). Pre and post strength (e.g., repetition maximum [1RM] leg extension and bench press tests), swimming (25, 50 m front-crawl), start (speed, time, distance) and turn (time of turn) performance tests were conducted. Our findings revealed a large main effect of time for 1RM bench press: d = 1.38; 1RM leg extension: d = 1.55, and for 25 (d = 1.12), and 50 m (d = 1.97) front-crawl, similarly for start and turn performance (d = 1.28–1.46). However, no significant Group × Time interactions were shown in all strength swimming performances, start and turn tests (p > 0.05). In conclusion, low training loads have been shown to elicit the same results as moderate, and high training loads protocol. Therefore, this study shows evidence that the addition of low training volume-loads as a regular part of a maximal strength training regime will elicit improvements in strength and swimming performance.

Abstract A great number of studies focusing on the effects of dry-land resistance training interventions on swimming performance remain inconclusive. It is suggested that transferability of dry-land strength gains to swimming performance appear when dry-land resistance training programs are swim-specific. The main aim of this study was to compare the effects of specific dry-land resistance training on an ergometer with traditional dry-land exercises, and to determine how much of the resistance training effects were transferred to specific swimming conditions. The study included a group of 26 youth competitive male swimmers (age 15.7 ± 0.5 years, height 174.6 ± 6.6 cm, weight 68.4 ± 8.2 kg, training experience 5.8±0.7 years) of regional level. They were randomly allocated to one of two groups: experimental (E) and control (T). Both groups were involved in a 12-week dry-land resistance training concentrated on increasing muscular strength and power output of the upper limbs. Group E used a specialized ergometer (JBA – Zbigniew Staniak), while group T performed traditional resistance exercises. The program consisted of 10 sets of 30 s of exercise with 30 s rest intervals between each set. A two-way repeated measures ANOVA with Tukey HSD post hoc comparisons was used to determine if any significant differences existed between training groups across pretest and posttest conditions. The significance level was set at p ≤ 0.05. Dry-land resistance training modalities were the only differences in training between both groups. Our findings show that rates of transfer are much higher in group E than in group T, which resulted in a significant increase in swimming velocity (by 4.32%, p<0.001; ES=1.23, and 2.78%, p<0.003, ES=0.31, respectively).

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of a 6-week land and resistance training of 13-16 year old swimmers groups to lower limb isokinetic strength values and to swimming performance. 22 swimmers participated in this study. The subjects were divided into three groups (A-B-C) according to their 50m swimming degrees. 25m underwater,25m,50m,75m and 100m freestyle swimming degrees of swimmers were recorded. As isokinetic measurements was applied at 60°/s,180°/s and 240°/s speed and the right and left knee. Kruskal-Wallis is used the differences between groups, the Mann-Whitney U test is used for which group the difference is caused and group differences were analyzed with the Wilcoxon test. Statistically significant difference was found between pre-test and post-test of 25m underwater,25m,50m,75m and 100m freestyle swimming values (p<0.05). In all groups, at 60°/s,180°/s,240°/s, for the right and left knee flexors and extensor, and freestyle swimming degrees positive development is observed. After 6-weeks training, isokinetic strength and swimming degrees of the group C increased 9.25%, whereas B has increased 8.35%. The pre-test and post-test results in 25m underwater,25m,50m,75m and 100m freestyle swimming values were statistically significant between the groups (p<0.05). In this study, it is possible to say that the land and resistance training can make a significant contribution to the performance of the force in this age group swimmer. ÖzetBu çalışmanın amacı; 13-16 yaş grubu yüzücülerde 6 haftalık kara ve direnç antrenmanlarının alt ekstremite izokinetik kuvvet değerlerine ve yüzme performansına etkisini araştırmaktır. Çalışmaya 22 yüzücü katılmıştır. Denekler 50m yüzme derecelerine göre üç gruba (A-B-C) ayrılmıştır. Yüzücülerin 25m sualtı, 25m, 50m, 75m ve 100m serbest stildeki yüzme dereceleri kayıt edilmiştir. İzokinetik ölçümler 60°/s, 180°/s ve 240°/s hızda sağ ve sol diz için uygulanmıştır. Gruplar arası farka Kruskal Wallis, farkın hangi gruptan kaynaklandığına Mann Whitney U testi, grup içi farklara ise Wilcoxon testi ile bakılmıştır. Ön test ve son test 25m sualtı, 25m, 50m, 75m ve 100m serbest yüzme değerlerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulunmuştur (p<0.05). Tüm grupların, 60º/s, 180º/s ve 240º/s hızda sağ ve sol diz için fleksör ve ektensörlerin tepe tork değerlerinde ve serbest yüzme derecelerinde sayısal olarak pozitif bir gelişim görülmüştür. 6 haftalık antrenman sonunda, C grubunun izokinetik kuvvet ve yüzme derecelerindeki artış (%9.25) iken, B grubunda bu değer (%8.35) çıkmıştır. Yapılan istatistiksel analiz sonucu ön test ve son test 25m sualtı, 25m, 50m, 75m ve 100m serbest yüzme değerlerinde gruplar arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulunmuştur (p<0.05). Bu çalışmada, bu yaş grubu yüzücülerde yapılan kara ve direnç antrenmanlarının kuvvet performansına önemli bir katkı sağlayabileceği söylenebilir.

This study aimed to examine the effect of 9 weeks of concurrent resistance training (CRT) between resistance on dry land (bench press (BP) and medicine ball throw) and resistance in water (water parachute and hand paddles) on muscle strength, sprint swimming performance and kinematic variables compared by the usual training (standard in-water training). Twenty-two male competitive swimmers participated in this study and were randomly allocated to two groups. The CRT group (CRTG, age = 16.5 ± 0.30 years) performed a CRT program, and the control group (CG, age = 16.1 ± 0.32 years) completed their usual training. The independent variables were measured pre- and post-intervention. The findings showed that the one-repetition maximum bench press (1RM BP) was improved only after a CRT program (d = 2.18; +12.11 ± 1.79%). Moreover, all sprint swimming performances were optimized in the CRT group (d = 1.3 to 2.61; −4.22 ± 0.18% to −7.13 ± 0.23%). In addition, the findings revealed an increase in velocity and stroke rate (d = 1.67, d = 2.24; 9.36 ± 2.55%, 13.51 ± 4.22%, respectively) after the CRT program. The CRT program improved the muscle strength, which, in turn, improved the stroke rate, with no change in the stroke length. Then, the improved stroke rate increased the swimming velocity. Ultimately, a faster velocity leads to better swim performances.

AbstractIntroduction. The aim of the study was to estimate the influence of combined swimming and dry-land resistance training on swimming force, swimming performance and strength in non-swimmers.Material and methods. Thirty male non-swimmers took part in the research. They were randomly assigned to one of the two groups: experimental (n=17) and control (n=13). The experimental group took part in combined swimming and dry-land resistance training. The control group took part in swimming training only. The swimming and dry-land resistance training programme lasted twelve weeks (48 training sessions of swimming and 36 sessions of dry-land resistance training). Average training volume and intensity were the same for all swimmers throughout the study protocol. The training programme included dominant aerobic work in front crawl.Results. Dry-land resistance training applied in the experimental group significantly improved the upper body strength. In spite of the theory that dry-land strength training is probably not specific enough to improve the sprint swim performance, the experimental group tended to demonstrate greater improvement in sprint performance. The imitation of the underwater phase of shoulder work during front crawl provided by the ergometer can be a useful training method in non-swimmers.
