CARACTERÍSTICAS DE LA FUNCIÓN FÍSICA DE LOS NADADORES EN EL ENTRENAMIENTO PREVIO A LA COMPETICIÓN

ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Swimming is a competitive athletic activity whose fundamental objective is to produce high-performance athletes capable of standing out worldwide. Aerobic balance directly affects the athletic performance of these professionals.

Objective:

Investigate the changes in the physical composition and functional characteristics of swimmers before the competition. The results can play an important guiding role in the training plan of the Chinese athletics team in the competition.

Methods:

To explore the relationship between swimmers of different ages, the athletes were trained, and their physiological and chemical changes were monitored before the competition. A statistical, mathematical method was used to analyze the data.

Results:

After exercise, the swimmers’ hemoglobin, red blood cell count, hematocrit, creatine kinase, blood urea, and other indices had changed. The difference between the two groups was significant (P<0.05).

Conclusion:

The results showed that the swimmers’ body function was stable before the competition with better exercise load capacity. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
