Objective of the study was to compare the effectiveness of warm-up methods for swimmers in achieving high athletic results.
Methods and structure of the study. Based on a review of literature data in the international Scopus and RSCI databases, a retrospective analysis of approaches, content and methodological algorithms for pre-start warm-up of swimmers, associated with the development of the theory and methodology of sports training in swimming, was conducted.
Results and conclusions. It has been established that the optimal warm-up for a swimmer includes a moderate preliminary activity of swimming 1000 m at a speed of 60-80% of maximal oxygen consumption. For achieving maximum results in swimming in the short term, an optimal rest period (3-10 min) is more useful. In this regard, a longer or more intense warm-up may lead to excessive activation of energy systems, potentially generating various biomechanical and physiological responses that can be both positive and negative depending on the demands of the competitive activity.

Keywords: swimmers warm-up, preliminary activation of the functional state, physiological reactions of athletes.
