FULLY TETHERED SWIMMING vs. SPRINT SWIMMING

This research attempted to establish a link between the dynamometric pulling force in tethered swimming and in 25 meter freestyle sprint swimming. For that purpose, 67 swimmers were tested, aged between 12 and 16, being subjected to a measurement of 18 anthropometric characteristics and undergoing 12 tests for the assessment of motor abilities. The criteria considered were the peak value of pulling force in freestyle tethered swimming and the time necessary to swim, freestyle, a 25 meter section including start. The results indicated that the connection between swimming speed and pulling force in tethered swimming show statistical significance (.62), but said relationship is relatively insufficiently high enough to enable us to predict the swimming result at 25 meters based on dynamometric force. The fact that speaks in favour of this supposition is that the prediction of said criteria is based on different parameters in different relationships.
