Abstract
The effect of suggested dry-land program of the improvement anaerobic power and 100m Freestyle performance
Introductions
Swimmers may suffer shoulder weakness in common with freestylers. There are many reasons including the high volume training, high intensities, while being fatigue, besides, the swimmers may have inadequate strength and endurance of the muscles around shoulders which tend to have poor stroke mechanics such as a dropped elbow, that have to be trained by dry-land training program.
Subject and Methods
Fourteen swimmers (age ranging from 15-16 years) were the subjects in this study. All of them were 100m swimmers. They were assigned into two groups, group A (n-7) served as a control, and group B (n-7) served as an experimental group, both performed an dry-land program, three times/ week for 12 weeks. The experimental group achieved the suggested program which designed by the researcher, and the control group performed the usual program which designed by their coach.
Results
The experimental group developed significantly greater than control group in both tests (anaerobic power and 100m free-style performance) as well. The researcher believes that the suggested program had an effect on the group which achieved it.
Discussion
As shown in the tables (3-6), there was a significant development in both groups, but the experimental group was better, which considers being by the virtue of the suggested program designed by the researcher, who recommends to adapt this program with those swimmers have weakness in there shoulders. |
