Abstract
Background: The main focus of swimming researchers is to enhance performance. Swimming performance is a multifactorial phenomenon involving energetics, biomechanics, hydrodynamics, anthropometrics and strength parameters. Strength training has the potential to develop muscle strength under dynamic conditions. Strength represents the ability to perform movements at high speed or the possibility of exerting high strength in a short period of time. Strength and speed are major factors determining performance of swimmers.
Aim: This study is about checking the competitive swimmers’ performance pre and post dry land strength training in a 25m pool.
Material and Methodology: Study Design: experimental based study, Sample Population: competitive swimmers, Sample Size- 50, Inclusion Criteria:- both male and female competitive swimmers of age group 14-19 years, Exclution Criteria: any previous injury or surgery in the past 12 months. Material Required: stopwatch.
Results: After Dry land strength training, there was significant increase in the performance of competitive swimmers with a mean of 20.96.
Conclusion: The Dry land strength training significantly increases the performance by reducing the time taken to cover 25m lap after a 4 weeks protocol.
