摘要：Objective. The main purpose of this paper is the effective use of the algorithmic diagram of linear andbranching programmed learning of the freestyle swimming (front crawl) by the first-year students in highereducation of other profiles during the physical education and sport classes.Methods. Methods of research used: bibliographic study of the specialized literature, pedagogicalobservation, experimental study, method of tests, method of linear and branching programmed learning, statisticalmathematical method and graphical representation method. This scientific approach led to the organization of anexperimental study in „Carol Davila” University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Bucharest during the academic year2015-2016. The subjects of the research were 70 students of first-year (24 from the Faculty of Dental Medicine and46 from General Medicine) who choose to learn the freestyle swimming method during the physical education andsport classes. The lessons were intended to improve the muscle strength in the control tests for arms, legs andabdominal muscle strength. Specific exercises were used in each class during the off-water training of the students.Preparatory, aiding and control exercises were used during the on-water training, for learning and improving thefreestyle swimming method.Results. The results of the comparative non-parametric correlative analysis of the study reveal strongconnections between the total number of lessons per week and semester, the performances achieved in competitionsat the freestyle event and the results in test events of the female students of Dental Medicine Faculty. There areinsignificant differences (weak connections) between the first-year students of the General Medicine Faculty and the(female and male) students of both faculties.Conclusions. The efficient use of the preparatory, aiding and control exercises within the algorithmic diagramfor learning the freestyle swimming method at physical education and sport subject for first-year studentscontributed to the improvement of technique and the successful participation in sports events.
