Resumo
The aims of this study were to assess over a full season: (i) the effect of a
combined dry-land strength and conditioning and in-water program on the
swimming performance of young swimmers; (ii) the effect of such program
on the performance determinants; (iii) the effect of the training
periodization designed. A longitudinal research design assessing an agegroup
of young swimmers over a season was carried out. Methods: Twentyseven
young swimmers (12 boys: 13.55±0.72-y; 15 girls: 13.16±0.93-y; both
sexes in Tanner stages 2-3) were evaluated in three moments over 40 weeks.
The 100-m freestyle performance, body mass, height, arm span
(anthropometrics), stroke frequency, stroke length, swimming velocity,
intracyclic swimming velocity (kinematics), stroke index, propelling
efficiency (efficiency), squat jump, countermovement jump, and throw
velocity (strength and conditioning) were assessed. A cluster analysis was
computed to classify the swimmers. For the “talented” swimmers, the
performance and all determinants, but the squat and countermovement
jumps improved between the first and last evaluation moments. Both inwater
and dry-land strength and conditioning features were responsible for
the cluster discrimination in each one of the evaluation moments. All three
clusters were also characterized by a mix of technical and strength &
conditioning features. This highlights swimming performance as a holistic
phenomenon (i.e. multiple determinants) where shifting occur in the interplay among the performance determinant according to the training periodization.
