  • Effects of 8-Week Training on Aerobic Capacity and Swimming Per- Formance of Boys Aged 12 Years
    Original Paper. Biomedical Human Kinetics, 3, 49 – 52, 2011 DOI: 10.2478/v10101-011-0011-8 Effects of 8-week training on aerobic capacity and swimming per- formance of boys aged 12 years Ryszard Zarzeczny 1, Mariusz Kuberski 1, Agnieszka Deska 1, Dorota Zarzeczna 1, Katarzyna Rydz 1, Anna Lewandowska 2, Tomasz Bałchanowski 3, Janusz Bosiacki 3 1 Institute of Physical Culture and Tourism, Jan Długosz University, Częstochowa; 2 Primary School No. 36, Częstochowa; 3 Primary School No. 48, Częstochowa, Poland Summary Study aim: To assess the effects of 8-week endurance training in swimming on work capacity of boys aged 12 years. Material and methods: The following groups of schoolboys aged 12 years were studied: untrained control (UC; n = 14) and those training swimming for two years. The latter ones were subjected to 8-week training in classical style (CS; n = 10) or free style (FS; n = 13). In all boys maximal oxygen uptake (‡O2max) was determined, and the CS and FS groups were subjected to 6 tests: swimming at 50 and 400 m distances (time recorded) and to 12-min swimming (distance recorded), all by free and classical styles pre- and post-training. From swimming times at 50 and 400 m distances the so-called critical swimming speed (CSS) was computed: CSS = (400 – 50) / (t400 – t50). Results: No training-induced improvement in ‡O2max was noted in any group. Yet, boys subjected to classical style training significantly (p<0.05) improved their free-style swimming velocity at CSS and at the 400-m distance by about 6%, and their heart rate following the 12-min test in classical style decreased by nearly 16% (p<0.001) com- pared with the pre-training values.

Searches were conducted in PubMed, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library from database inception until 10 May 2018 for original articles assessing the effects of RT on muscle size after interventions of more than 2 weeks of duration. Specifically, we obtain the variables fat-free mass (FMM), lean muscle mass (LMM) and skeletal muscle mass (SMM).

  • Finding Your Perfect Endurance Training Interval and Setting Goals
    Finding Your Perfect Endurance Training Interval and Setting Goals to Swim Faster! by Danielle Newton Have you ever overheard a swimmer say, "I'm a distance swimmer and I've got 1 speed in the pool - moderate pace. I could swim that pace all day! I hate it when the coach gives us sprint sets like 20 X 25's and asks me to swim fast. It's impossible for me." Or maybe you've pondered this quietly to yourself in the middle of a rest interval, "I'm so out of shape, I feel horrible in the pool because I can't keep up with so-and-so. I'm feeling like I'll never get faster. I'm trying too hard. I'm going to burn out too quick today. I wish I had a set that was made just for me and my swimming endurance right now!" Well, guess what Mr. 1-speed Man and Miss No-Endurance - I've got the perfect set for you to try! It's guaranteed to increase your endurance and speed (but only if you work it!) The first step is to swim a Test Set to find out your Anaerobic Threshold Pace. Don't worry if you don't understand what those terms mean. I'll explain them later. Have your coach or a friend time you while you swim 10 X 100 Free at a moderate-fast pace (about 80-85% of your all-out effort). Don't concern yourself with how long it takes you to finish each 100.

With women, the greatest power output for world-class athletes is be- MSR I tween 1300 and 1500 watts. With men, they are able to produce in the neighborhood of 2300 to 2500 watts (Figure 1). MTB Sprint athletes will try to produce these numbers on a regular basis—they try to practice at this maximum intensity. They do this from starts or as part of accelerations. With endurance athletes, if you put them on a bike at the end of a race the best any of them could produce would be anywhere from 1600 to 1700 watts.

  • A Comparison of the Effect of Strength Training on Cycling Performance Between Men and Women
    Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology Review A Comparison of the Effect of Strength Training on Cycling Performance between Men and Women Olav Vikmoen 1,* and Bent R. Rønnestad 2 1 Department of Physical Performance, Norwegian School of Sport Sciences, 0806 Oslo, Norway 2 Section for Health and Exercise Physiology, Institute of Public Health and Sport Sciences, Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences, 2418 Elverum, Norway; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: During the last decade numerous review articles have been published on how concurrent strength and endurance training affect cycling performance. However, none of these have reviewed if there are any sex differences in the effects of concurrent training on cycling performance, and most research in this area has been performed with male cyclists. Thus, the aim of the current paper is to review the scientific literature on the effect of concurrent training on cycling performance in male and female cyclists with a special emphasis on potential sex differences. The results indicate that both male and female cyclists experience a similar beneficial effect from concurrent training on cycling performance and its physiological determinants compared to normal endurance training only. Some data indicate that women have a larger effect on cycling economy, but more studies are needed to explore this further. Furthermore, the adaptations to strength training thought to be responsible for the beneficial effects on cycling performance seem to be very similar between men and women. Interestingly, increased muscle cross-sectional area in the main locomotor muscles seems to be an important adaptation for improved performance, and, contrary to popular belief, cyclists should aim for increased muscle cross-sectional area when adding strength training to their normal training.

  • Strength and Endurance
    Week 4: Managing Energy Strength and Endurance What are Strength and Endurance? Strength training—also known as resistance training—refers to exercise that causes muscles to contract against resistance. This helps to build muscle strength, mass, and tone. Strength training also helps increase muscular endurance—the capacity of a muscle or muscle group to engage in physical activities for longer periods of time before fatigue sets in. Endurance is essential for any activity, whether it be a sport or cleaning your home. If your muscles can work longer, you will have a greater ability to sustain the activities of everyday life, including your fitness program. Developing a Strength Training Program Three things need to be considered as you put together a weight-training program that will help build strength and endurance: • Repetitions and Sets: Repetitions are the number of times you lift a weight, or one complete cycle of an exercise. You should perform 8-15 reps of 8-10 different exercises that, together, target all the major muscle groups. With a set, you will perform an exercise for a given number of repetitions, rest for a period of time, then repeat the exercise. The number of repetitions per set and sets for each exercise depend on your specific goals. Two to three sets of each exercise are usually recommended. Be sure to include one to two minute rest periods between sets of each exercise, or long enough to catch your breath. • Resistance: Many things can be used as resistance in strength training exercises, such as your own body weight against gravity, free weights, weight machines, resistance bands, and medicine balls.

The purpose of this study was to propose a detailed coaching framework incorporating the key elements of a periodized training regimen for a 400 m IM swimmer. This framework was based on the available coaching and scientific literature and the practical experience and expertise of the collaborating authors. The season has been divided in two or three macrocycles, further divided in three mesocycles each (six or nine mesocycles in total), in alignment with the two or three main competitions in each macrocycle. The principal training contents to − develop during the season expressed in blood lactate zones are: aerobic training (~2 mmol·L 1), −1 −1 lactate threshold pace (~4 mmol·L ) and VO2max (maximum oxygen uptake) (~6 mmol·L ). Citation: Hermosilla, F.; González- Strength training should focus on maximum strength, power and speed endurance during the Rave, J.M.; Del Castillo, J.A.; Pyne, season.
