IMPACTS OF SUSPENSION TRAINING ON THE PHYSICAL FITNESS OF SWIMMERS

ABSTRACT Introduction Suspension training develops the physical fitness of a swimmer and improves his or her abilities. The specific fitness of a swimmer is the body's ability to adapt to load in swimming. This is also a comprehensive reflection of their physical function, conditioning, athletic ability, and overall health. Objective This study aimed to analyze the effect of suspension training on swimmers’ balance, abdominal center strength, and athletic performance. Methods This paper selects several swimmers as research volunteers. They were randomly divided into experimental and control groups. Both of them underwent physical training for three months. The experimental group adopted the suspension training method. The control group used traditional training methods. Mathematical statistics performed data analysis in both groups. Results The physical fitness of the two groups of swimmers was improved substantially after the experiment (P<0.05). The strength balance ability of the experimental group showed better performance(P<0.05). There was a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in the results of fitness index tests (P<0.01). Conclusion Suspension training has a prominent effect on the physical development of swimmers. This modality proved a better efficacy on swimmers’ performance. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
