Primary purpose: BASIC_SCIENCE

Brief summary: Resistance training has been widely used in various sports and is a common practice aimed at improving competition performance, especially in swimming. Swimming performance is highly dependent on muscle strength, especially short distances. Water or land resistance training can improve the swimming performance, especially the swimming performance of 50 meters and 100 meters. Both type of training has their own strength and weakness. Hence, combining both methods strength may enhance swimmer performance. In addition, competitive swimming consists of different stages, namely start, clean swim, turn and finish. However, there is no literature on the influence of resistance training on starting and turning.

Detailed description: Through experimental design and quantitative research methods. In this experiment, the resistance training method of water combined with land was used to intervene the turning and starting of young people, and the traditional strength training was compared to find out a better training method. The experiment will use 12 weeks of resistance training to improve the swimmer's turn and start intervention. The experiment consisted of four groups, 20 boys and 20 girls in the experimental group and 20 boys and 20 girls in the control group. Compare the differences between the two groups. Divided into discussion groups and general teaching groups. Two of the most significant differences, this experiment aims to provide a theoretical basis for improving the training methods of swimming, so that young swimmers can get better swimming performance, especially on the start and turn.
