PDF Swimmer's Trainability on the Upper Body Working Capacity and its Contributions to Their Swimming Performance.

【Supercategory:7. DESCENTE SPORTS SCIENCE Subcategory:7.14 Vol.14

 There has been a lot of researches in which the endurance capacity of the movement with the leg is evaluated, while few reseraches were given on the endurance capacity about the movement of the upper half of the body especially the arm. Thus, the present study aimed at the evaluation of the upper body endurance capacity by using progressive arm craniking ergometry on 13 male university competitive swimmers.
 Maximum power output (POmax), lactate threshold (LT, POOLT), lactate removal rate ((peak La from the leg minus peak La from the arm) /peak La from the arm × 100%) were measured during cranking test to correlate individual performance.
 The outline of the results are as follows :
 1) There was no significant differece between the amount of the POmax and LT for competetive swimmers.
 2) A significant (P< 0.05) correlation was observed between La removal rate and 400 m freestyle event.
