| dc.description.abstract | Our purpose was to demonstrate that 30-s tethered swimming test can be a useful tool to estimate swimming performance in short distance freestyle events. Thirteen high level adolescent swimmers (7 male and 6 female of16.6 ± 1.0 and 15.8 ± 0.8 years old) performed a 30-s maximum effort in front crawl tethered swimming. Afterward, subjects completed 50-m and 100-m freestyle events at the National Championships. Both maximum and mean force values obtained in the tethered test related directly with 50-m (r =.78 and r =.72, p <.01, respectively) and 100-m freestyle velocities (r =.63 and r =.61, p <.05, respectively). Fatigue index did not present a significant relationship with any of the studied performance variables. However, a proposed parameter-fatigue slope-correlated with 50-m (r=-.75, p <.01), 100-m performances (r=-.57, p <.05) and with r[La-] (r=-.90, p <.01). It is concluded that, for adolescent swimmers, values obtained from 30-s tethered test are well related with swimming performance in sprint events. In addition, fatigue slope seems to be more associated with swimming performance in short distance events than fatigue index. | |
