(int Journal Applied Exercise Physiology, 2020) Eskiyecek, Canan Gulbin; Gul, Mine; Uludag, Burcu; Gul, Gazanfer Kemal
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of core exercise on 50 meter freestyle, backstroke, butterfly and breaststroke style performances of 10-12 year old males swimmers. In this study, from Kocaeli Swimming Club 24 volunteer male swimmers, 12 experimentals and 12 controls group were participated. 3 days a week for 8 weeks; in addition to club swimming trainings, the experimental group received core exercises and the control group received club swimming trainings only. Before and after the training program, height and body weights of all swimmers, and 50 meter freestyle, backstroke, butterfly and breaststroke techniques were obtained in seconds. Wilcoxon test was used for infra-group comparisons and MannWithney-U test was used for first and post-test measurements of swimmers. At the end of the training, a statistically significant difference was found in the experimental group in 50 m swimming first and last test measurements; difference in freestyle; 0.42 sec, backstroke; 0.30 sec, butterfly stroke; 0.47 sec and breaststroke style 0.49 sec (p< .05). A statistically significant difference was found in the control group in 50m swimming first and last test measurements; difference in freestyle; 0.08 sec, backstroke; 0.14 sec, butterfly stroke; 0.18 sec and breaststroke style; 0.13 sec (p< .05). When the significance level between the groups was examined; significant difference was found in favor of experimental group in all measurements (p< .05). As a result of the research, it can be said that core training has a positive effect on swimming performance of male swimmers.
The Effect of Upper Extremity Trx Training on The Number of Strokes and Swimming Degrees in 10-12 Year Swimmers
(int Journal Applied Exercise Physiology, 2020) Eskiyecek, Canan Gulbin; Gul, Mine; Meseci, Berkay; Gul, Gazanfer Kemal
This study was conducted to determine the effects of 8-weeks TRX exercises toward upper extremity area of male swimmers in 10-12 age group on 25 meter and 50 meter freestyle swimming degrees and the number of 50 m strokes. 14 licensed and 7 amateur male athletes who are from Kocaeli Province Golciik Municipality Swimming Club voluntarily participated in this study. Participators were divided into three groups as Subject1 (n=7, age average = 11.14 +/- 0.69 years, height average = 1.53 +/- 0.06 m, bodyweight average = 39.16 +/- 6.11 kg stroke length average = 1.54 +/- 0.07 m), Subject2 (n=7, age average = 11 +/- 0.82 years, height average = 1.52 +/- 0.05 m, bodyweight average = 40.26 +/- 5.09 kg stroke length average = 1.53 +/- 0.05 m) and Control (n=7, age average = 11.14 +/- 0.9 years, height average = 1.52 +/- 0.05 m, bodyweight average = 43.31 +/- 7.35 kg and stroke length average = 1.50 +/- 0.05 m) groups. Athletes of Subject1 group performed 60 TRX exercises such as Push Up, Chest Press, Chest Fly, Low Row, Biceps Curl, Triceps Extension, Reaching Row toward upper extremity area in addition to 8-weeks swimming practices. TRX practices were performed for 3 days a week before swimming exercises. Subject2 group performed routine club swimming exercises only; the control group has not applied any exercises. Obtained data were analyzed by Paired-Samples t-test and One-Way ANOVA test in SPSS 24.0 packaged software. Results were evaluated at p<.05 significance level. It is determined in in-group comparisons that there are significant differences between 25 m and 50 m freestyle pretest and posttest swimming degrees (p<.05). Concerning between-groups comparisons, there are significant differences between posttest values of control and subject2 group in terms of both the number of 50 m stroke and 25 m and 50 m swimming degrees (p<.05). Regarding posttest values of control and subject1 group, there also are significant differences in both the number of 50 m strokes and 25 m freestyle swimming degrees (p<.05). We can say as the result of this study that TRX exercises toward upper extremity area of swimmers in 10-12 age group have a positive effect on the number of 50 m strokes and 25 m and 50 m freestyle degrees.
