Effects of strength training on swimming performance

By Augusto Barbosa

In this study, we investigated whether increasing dry-land strength influences swimmers’ performance in short distances. After the training, the experimental group showed a greater increase in strength compared to the control group, but performance did not improve. This study suggests that strength development in swimming should occur in a more specific manner. READ!
