ABSTRACT
Introduction:
The current swimming training of college students does not meet the needs for physical fitness, requiring adjustments.
Objective:
Explore the effects of fitness-based swim training on college students.
Methods:
Forty volunteers from a university were recruited for the experiment, divided equally and separately by sex into groups A male, A female, B male, and B female. The exercise intensity of male group A and female group A was designed as resting heart rate + 70% * heart rate difference; that of male group B and female group B was designed as resting heart rate + 50% * heart rate difference. The experiment lasted 12 weeks, twice a week.
Results:
In group A, the forward bending results in the sitting position increased from 13.672 ± 5.8123 cm to 16.368 ± 4.8935 cm after the experiment, and the forward bending results in the sitting position increased from 6.079 ± 4.7637 cm to 18.236 ± 3.9650 cm. The results of both groups were better than those of group B of the same sex.
Conclusion:
Fitness-based swimming training for college students can improve exercise efficiency by adopting the presented protocol (resting heart rate + 70% * heart rate difference). Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
