- Abstract
Swimming at gym meets different goals such as improved motor coordination and physical fitness, weight loss, disease prevention and therapy, and competition. However, although widely practiced, there are few studies on the physical capabilities of this public. The objective was to evaluate the aerobic, anaerobic and biomechanical parameters of swimmers in the gym. Twenty-eight male volunteers practicing swimming in a gym, grouped in the age groups: 15-18, 19-30, 31- 40, 41-50 and 51-60 years. It was performed a 50 m and a 12-min test swim crawl style with stroke counts. It was measured the distance traveled and calculated the velocity, length and frequency of stroke. The highest velocity (1.37 ± 0.39 m/sec) in the 50 m test was in the range of 19-30 years, with variation of -10.8%, - 15.3% and -16% between the subsequent groups. The largest distance traveled (636.24 ± 179.36 m) in the 12-min test was in the range of 15-18 years, with variation of -3.1%, -25.7%, -7.7% and -14.1% among the subsequent groups. The largest arm length (1.20 ± 0.26 m/stroke) was in the range of 15-18 years, ranging from -2.5%, -3.6%, -9.2% and -6,1% between subsequent groups. The highest stroke rate (0.73 ± 0.11 strokes/sec) was also in the range of 15-18 years, with a significant decrease of -19.8%, -3.5%, 0.5% and -3.9% among the subsequent groups(p<0.05). We verified that the age is related to the decrease of anaerobic, aerobic capacities and parameters of length and frequency of strokes in gym swimmers.
