Abstract

Objective of the study is to assess the influence of energy productivity on the swimming speed of young sprint swimmers. Methods and structure of the study. The indicators of 32 sprint swimmers in performing five laboratory and two swimming tests were studied. Correlation coefficients were calculated between swimming speed, anaerobic and aerobic capacities. Results and conclusions. It was established that the improvement of anaerobic mechanisms of energy supply in sprint swimming is facilitated by a high concentration of lactate in the blood after training.

Keywords

swimming, energy supply of muscular activity, anaerobic and aerobic capacities
