Introduction: This study aimed to examine the influence of sex, sports qualification and specialization of distance in the specific resistance of swimmers with the use of ergometric analysis of sports results. Materials and Methods: The coefficients Kt for evaluation of specific resistance were calculated according to Gordon (1978), with the division of time (in seconds) of adjacent distances in the swimming: Kt1=t100/t50, Kt2=t200/ t100, Kt3=t400/t200, Kt4=t1500/t400 for men and Kt4=t800/t400 for women. Sports results were extracted from database of the Department of Swimming of the State University of Physical Culture, Sports and Tourism of Russia. That database contains materials of 1295 Russian’s-freestyle swimmers (740 men and 555 women of different qualifications and expertise away). For the evaluation of the influence of gender, specialization of distance and qualification of swimmers was used the ANOVA for each of the coefficients Kt. Results: The coefficients for women are located slightly below the values found for the men, in other words, women can keep for longer time the speed with the increase of distance. Discussion: The level of resistance analyzed through the ergometric correlations determines the specialization in the swimmer’s distance. Also, with the increase of sports qualification, the differences between the levels of specific resistance among athletes from different competitive distances become more expressive. |
