Effectiveness of the Power Dry-Land Training Programmes in Youth Swimmers The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of the dry-land power training on swimming force, swimming performance and strength in youth swimmers. Twenty six male swimmers, free from injuries and training regularly at least 6 times a week, were enrolled in the study and randomly assigned to one of two groups: experimental (n=14, mean age 14.0 ± 0.5 yrs, mean height 1.67±0.08 m and mean body mass 55.71 ±9.55 kg) and control (n=12, mean age 14.1 ± 0.5 yrs, mean height 1.61±0.11 m and mean body mass 49.07 ±8.25 kg). The experimental group took part in a combined swimming and dry-land power training. The control group took part in swimming training only. The training programmes in water included a dominant aerobic work in front crawl. In this research the experimental group tended to present slightly greater improvements in sprint performance. However, the stroke frequency insignificantly decreased (-4.30%, p>0.05) in the experimental group and increased (6.28%, p>0.05) in the control group. The distance per stroke insignificantly increased in the experimental group (5.98%, p>0.05) and insignificantly decreased in the control group (-5.36%, p>0.05). A significant improvement of tethered swimming force for the experimental group (9.64%, p<0.02) was found, whereas the increase was not statistically significant in the control group (2.86%, p>0.05). The main data cannot clearly state that power training allowed an enhancement in swimming performance, although a tendency to improve swimming performance in tethered swimming was noticed.

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.

Purpose: To assess the effects of periodized versus nonperiodized dry-land strength training (DLST) on indices of swimming performance in well-trained adolescent swimmers. Methods: Sixteen athletes (10 boys and 6 girls; age 14.9 [1.1] y) performed similar endurance training for 16 weeks (29.1 [7.5] km·wk−1). During weeks 1 to 7, all athletes additionally performed 2 or 3 times weekly whole-body DLST (3 × 6–10 repetitions at 75–85% 1-repetition maximum [1RM]). Thereafter, the DLST frequency was maintained, but athletes were stratified into periodized (experimental, n = 9) and nonperiodized (control, n = 7) DLST groups. The experimental group performed maximal (3 × 3–4 repetitions at 85–90% 1RM) and explosive DLST (throws and unloaded jumps), while in the control group, DLST was maintained. Results: Swimming time at 4 mmol·L−1 of blood lactate improved after 7 weeks in both the experimental (+2.6% [1.8%], P = .033) and the control groups (+3.2% [2.4%], P = .081) and plateaued thereafter. Ten-meter start improved in both the experimental (−3.6% [2.5%], P = .039) and the control groups (−5.1% [2.2%], P = .054) throughout the entire intervention. Both groups improved in maximal weight lifted in half-squat (experimental, +19.6% [14.9%], P = .021; control, +25.7% [18.4%], P = .054) and bench press (experimental, +14.1% [4.8%], P = .018; control, +19.3% [11.1%], P = .051). Countermovement-jump height increased only in the experimental group throughout the intervention (+19.4% [7.0%], P = .024). The associations for the pooled changes in half-squat performance and 4 mmol·L−1 of blood lactate were statistically significant (r = .560, P = .024). Conclusions: The findings do not support the superior effects of DLST periodization in adolescent swimmers. However, the association between improvements in lower-body strength and swimming performance still indicates the importance of muscle strength in this age group.

Background. Cardiovascular system recovery after physical activity with explosive exercises is essential for cardiovascular pathology prevention. The efficiency of short-term biofeedback training (BFB training) in such conditions in adolescents have not been studied earlier. Objective. Our aim was to study the effect of BFB training on cardiovascular rehabilitation after speed and power training in adolescents according to general heart rate variability (HRV) spectrum total power parameter. Methods. The research has included healthy eighth-grade students (14–15 years old boys) from regular school. Inclusion in experimental and control groups was regulated by researches. Such indicators as total power (TP) of HRV spectrum, tension index (TI), systolic and diastolic arterial blood pressure (ABP), heart rate (HR) were registered initially, after three standing long jumps with double take-off and after recovery. All members of experimental group performed BFB training in order to increase TP (3 min) during recovery period. Members of control group were resting. Results. Initially all members of experimental (n = 17) and control (n = 10) groups were compared on age, height, weight and TP, TI, ABP and HR indicators. The TP level in boys of experimental group was higher than in control group during recovery period after BFB training: 3.22 (1.96; 6.13) against 1.36 (1.15; 1.84) X 1000 ms2 respectively (р = 0.041). There were no differences in TI, ABP and HR levels between two groups during recovery period. Conclusion. Implementation of short-term BFB training according to general HRV spectrum total power parameter in 14–15 years old boys after speed and power training perpetuates vagal impact on heart rate during recovery period.

  El propósito del estudio fue analizar el efecto de la intervención del programa de ejercicios coordinativos de equilibrio, reacción y diferenciación para fútbol, con las figuras M3, sobre el desarrollo de la coordinación motriz. Se realizó un diseño experimental con pretest, postest y grupo control. Participaron 25 niños de la escuela de fútbol Coofisam de Tarqui, Colombia. El grupo experimental fueron 13 niños (edad 12.57 años ± 0.72, talla 1.50 m ± 0.06, masa corporal 44.30 kg ± 9.65, IMC 20.32 ± 3.64) y el grupo control fueron 12 niños (edad 12.58 años ± 0.63, talla 1.48 m ± 0.08, masa corporal 45.85 kg ± 10.92, IMC 20.44 ± 280). El programa de ejercicios con las figuras M3 para fútbol fue de ocho semanas, 267 ejercicios, tres sesiones por semana e intensidad vigorosa. La coordinación motriz se midió con la prueba The KörperkoordinationsTest für Kinder. Se aplicó ANOVA factorial de diseño mixto. Los resultados indican interacción significativa de los factores tipo de intervención por grupo (p < .05). No se encontró efecto principal significativo del factor grupo (p > .05) y se encontró efecto principal significativo del factor tipo de intervención (p < .05). El efecto del programa de ejercicios para fútbol, con las figuras M3, fue positivo en el desarrollo de la coordinación motriz en los jugadores de la escuela de fútbol, lo cual sugiere que la práctica de ejercicios orientados a la mejora de las capacidades coordinativas de equilibrio, reacción y diferenciación produce mejoras en la coordinación motriz. Abstract. The purpose of the study was to analyze the effect intervention of the coordination exercise program of balance, reaction, and differentiation for soccer, with the M3 figures, on the development of motor coordination. An experimental design was performed with pretest, posttest, and control group. 25 children from the Coofisam soccer school in Tarqui, Colombia participated. The experimental group was 13 children (age 12.57 years ± 0.72, height 1.50 m ± 0.06, body mass 44.30 kg ± 9.65, BMI 20.32 ± 3.64) and the control group was 12 children (age 12.58 years ± 0.63, height 1.48 m ± 0.08, body mass 45.85 kg ± 10.92, BMI 20.44 ± 280). The exercise program with the M3 figures for soccer was eight weeks, 267 exercises, three sessions per week, and vigorous intensity. Motor coordination was measured with The KörperkoordinationsTest für Kinder. Mixed design factorial ANOVA was applied. The results indicate a significant interaction of the type of intervention per group factors (p < .05). No significant main effect of the group factor was found (p > .05) and a significant main effect of the type of intervention factor was found (p <.05). The effect of the soccer exercise program, with the M3 figures, was positive in the development of motor coordination in the soccer school players, which suggests that the practice of exercises aimed at improving coordination abilities of balance, reaction, and differentiation produces improvements in motor coordination.

This study determined the effects of a single sled push at different loads on sprint performance in competitive male soccer players. Twenty male competitive outfield soccer players (age 19.6±1.3y, body mass 73.6±8.2kg) were split into experimental (n=10) and control groups. In the experimental group, 20m linear sprint time was measured immediately before and 5, 6 and 7minutes after the sled push with either 50 or 100% body mass. The control group performed the 20m sprints only. A repeated measures ANOVA comparing control and experimental groups revealed no effects of time, group or time by group interaction for either experimental condition (all P>0.05). The repeated measures ANOVA compared the experimental conditions revealed effects of time (P=0.034) and group (P=0.002), but not time by group (P>0.05). The effects sizes demonstrated within group effects on sprint time that were small to moderate (-0.26 to 0.71) and trivial to small (-0.31 to 0.09) for the 50% and 100% body mass condition, respectively. These findings demonstrate that a sled push has no significant effect on 20 m sprint time in competitive footballers. If coaches continue to prescribed a sled push before sprinting, a single 15 m push with 50% body mass could have positive benefits.
