- Abstract
The aim of the work was to assess the efficiency of the 8-week resistance form of load on changes in speed-power abilities in the group of performance swimmers. The group consisted of 15 swimmers (men), assigned by intentional random choice to the experimental and control group. The experimental group consisted of 8 swimmers with an average age of 22.4 ± 4.6 years and a control group of 7 swimmers with an average age of 21.7 ± 3.9 years. In the research, we used a two-stage time parallel experiment. The experimental group performed swimming with added external resistance (parachute) and the control group swim under natural conditions without added external resistance. Both groups performed a repeated 6 second load with maximum effort. Swimmers performed 3 series of 3 repetitions with a rest interval of 3 minutes between repeats and 5 min between series with stimulation frequency 2 per weekly (total 16 training sessions). The training of the experimental and control groups differed only in experimental and control stimulus during the period under review. The influence of experimental and control factors was assessed using the following dependent variables: a complex swim speed of 12 m (max12) and 25 m (max25) and the highest average power (Pmax) achieved in watts at a swimming speed of 0.8 m.s-1. In test max12, the experimental group was improved by 0.17 ± 0.06 s (3.5 %, p < 0.05, Effect size (ES) = 0.63) and control group by 0.06 ± 0.04 (1.6 %, p < 0.05, ES = 0.58). In the max25 test, the experimental group was improved by 0.45 ± 0.13 s (3.7 %, p < 0.05, ES = 0,63) and the control group by 0.19 ± 0.12 s (1.6 %, p < 0.05, ES = 0.53). In the Pmax test experimental group improved by 10.25 ± 2.87 W (11.2 %, p < 0.01, ES = 0.63) and control group 2.86 ± 4.05 W (3.1 %, p = n.s., ES = 0.50). The results show that swimming with swimming parachute was more effective in developing speed and speed-power capabilities when compared to swimming in natural conditions. Taking advantage of such a form of load is therefore appropriate for developing swim speeds by increasing special power capabilities.
