摘要：Elastic tapes are one of the functional equipments used for strength development. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of resistance band trainings on swimming performance in 11-13 year old male swimming athletes. The swimmer who regularly swim for at least two years were at random divided 2 groups. Group1, swimming thera-band (STG) (n=12, age= 12,00±0,60 years, height=147,75±8,12 cm, body weight=41,91±9,26 kg) participated 2 days swimming and swimming training plus 3 days resistance with theraband during 12 weeks while Group 2, swimming group (SG), (n=12, age=11,91±0,79 years, height=148,25±9,25cm body weight =43,50±9,05 kg) continued just 5 days swimming training per week. To evaluate the swimming performances of the groups, 50m, 100m, 150m and 200m freestyle transition tests with 25m, 50m freestyle swimming were measured before and after training. Wilcoxon paired test and Mann-Whitney U test were performed using the SPSS 15.0 statistical program in the analysis of the obtained data. At the end of the interview, significant decrease were found in both groups of 25m, 50m freestyle swimming grades and 200m grades (p<0,05). As a result of the findings, it can be said that therabant training which is done as a land work with swimming training leads to positive changes in the performance development of children aged 11-13 years.
