摘要：In order to determine the impact of flexibility on the results in swimming, we conducted a study on a sample of 50 female patients aged 11 to 14. The study included 50 female participants with an average body weight of 51.9±7.1 kg and an 163.9±10.5 cm. Their average age was 12.7±1.1 years, training experience was 3.7±0.66 years, and the body mass index (BMI) was 19.3±1.9. The participants all took part in the training process in the swimming clubs “Niš 2005“ and “Sveti Nikola”, Niš, Serbia. The study was applied to 17 measuring instruments that were divided into three groups: Measuring instruments for the assessment of flexibility (11); Measuring instruments for the assessment of swimming results (4); Measuring instruments for the evaluation of morphological characteristics (2). A canonical-correlation analysis was used to determine the relation between flexibility and performance in swimming, and the regression analysis determined the impact of flexibility on the results in swimming. The canonical- correlation analysis did not demonstrate a single significant feature that would allow, without reservation, the confirmation of the assumptions about the significant relations between flexibility and performance in swimming. The regression analysis did not confirm the assumption that there is a statistically significant effect of flexibility variables on the results in swimming for female swimmers.
