Strength training swimming
A majority, if not all, of the exercise trainers and scientists and swimming coaches alike are one in believing that muscular strength and power are two main factors in the swim training that will contribute towards a sure success to athletes. However, there are relative problems in developing the strength and power regimen because of the fact that previous studies has recorded that the conventional weight lifting trainings will contribute to the general muscle strength of the swimmers without actually disturbing the actual swimming performance. Swimming coaches tied up with scientists from Ball State University to monitor and evaluate their strength training programs. This experiment involved ten highly skilled male collegiate swimmers that were grouped into two. The swimmers in both groups maintained a regulated swimming volume of about 5600 meters everyday. The training mostly consisted of intervals that were technically designed to result an exercise routine that will show intensity of greater then 85% VO2 max, which is over 90 percent of maximal heart rate. The monitored strength training was administered two times for the next 6 weeks but the two groups used two different resistance-training styles. The first group used a weight-aided dip and pull-up training device that will strengthen the triceps and the upper back muscle groups. The exercise and swimming coaches have proven theories that the triceps and latissimus dorsi or the upper back muscles provide significant propulsion during the rigorous competition. The training reported that the athletes completed the regulated three sets of dips and pull ups per workout. It was designed in such way that complete fatigue was reached during each set as a result of the repetitions. On the other hand, the second group of athletes carried out the traditional exercise routines of weight-training and were incorporated with lat pull-downs, elbow extensions, flexions of the elbow, bent-arm flys, quadriceps extensions and some hamstring flexions that served as primary detector of the program. Through the aid of machines, the lat pull-downs, quadriceps, and hamstring flexions were completed. The rest of the exercise routines however were done utilizing the free weights. The report showed that the performers did three sets of each exercise with repetitions of eight to twelve per set using an accelerating resistance over time. Collectively, the six weeks of concentrated swimming and strength training were incorporated by another six weeks of purely swimming workouts. The reports of the scientific training revealed that there were no significant differences between the two groups in lean body mass or percentile body parts for the entire twelve week period. Significantly though, the weight-assisted dip and pull up swimmers showed slightly better in comparison to the trainers who were administered with the traditional training. The record has it that they improved their 22.9 meter front crawl sprint time by 0.3 seconds and from 11.2 to 10.9 seconds respectively. On the other hand, the athletes who took the traditional workout routine did not show relevant improvements.
