Swimming Performance Evaluation in Athletes Submitted to Different Types of Strength Training. JEPonline 2016; 19(6):1-9. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of a traditional strength training exercise, a training tether made of rubber attached to a belt around the swimmer’s waist in the water, and training only in the water without additional strength training on the performance of the 25 m and 50 m freestyle in young athletes. The subjects consisted of 24 male athletes 15 to 16 yrs of age. They were 2 divided into 3 groups: (a) 7 swimmers tethered by a rubber device while in the water (RW); (b) 7 swimmers who did strength training (ST) program; and (c) 7 swimmers who comprised the control group (CG). The findings indicate that there was no difference in the post-test responses between the group that trained while tethered to the rubber device and the group that engaged in a traditional strength training program. But, there were differences in both groups that engaged in strength training compared to the control group at both time points (pre- and post-test). Hence, it is reasonable to conclude that both strength training methods used in this study tended to promote improvements in speed, especially for shorter distances.
