MATHEMATICAL MODELS OF LONG-TERM ADAPTATION IN SWIMMING THEORY AND METHODS OF SPORTSMEN TRAINING

Анотація

In swimming, as in other disciplines, it is extremely important to follow athletes’ development. In order to do so we can use performance progression models. In models we can use the progress of top-level athletes as milestones we measure progress of our trainees. The athletes, during their careers, are known to have different periods of response to training practices so the models can be used to modify training routine so it is most beneficial to them. Furthermore, by using the trend of elite athlete’s progression and following biological maturation we can create a long-term development model. These models include how their organism adapts to training routine in order for them to sustain top speed for longer duration.
