The purpose of this study is to observe the effects of combining plyometric exercises with swimming exercises on the sprint swimming performance of male swimmers aged 9–12 over an 8-week period. 20 athletes participated in the study voluntarily, but 2 athletes voluntarily left the study during the testing phase. Participants were divided into two groups: the study group (n = 9) and the control group (n = 9). The study group underwent 3 weeks of general strength training as part of their weekly training programme to adapt before starting plyometric training. After the adaptation period, the group continued with plyometric training for 8 weeks, in addition to their weekly training programme. Plyometric training was applied at 72-hour intervals, twice a week, and was integrated into the first hour of the 2-hour training session. The control group only continued their weekly training. The SPSS 22 package programme for Windows was used to evaluate the data. In the study, independent sample t-tests and paired sample t-tests were used to determine the differences between the tests. 25- and 50-m freestyle swimming performance measurements were taken from swimmers before and after 8 weeks of plyometric training. After the 8-week training period, a significant difference was observed in the 25- and 50-m freestyle swimming performances of the athletes in the study group who incorporated plyometric exercises into their swimming training. No significant difference was found in the 25- and 50-m freestyle swimming performances of the control group athletes who only underwent swimming training. The results obtained from this study showed that plyometric exercise improved sprint swimming performance in pre-adolescent male swimmers. In light of this information, future studies can investigate the effects of different strength training programmes on performance in pre-adolescent swimmers

Bu çalışmanın amacı; 9-12 yaş arası erkek yüzücülerde, 8 hafta boyunca, yüzme egzersizine ek olarak kombine bir şekilde uygulanan pliometrik egzersizin, sprint yüzme performansı üzerine etkilerini incelemektir. Çalışmaya 20 erkek sporcu gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Katılımcılar deney grubu (n: 9) ve kontrol grubu (n: 9) olmak üzere iki gruba ayrılmışlardır. Deney grubuna pliometrik egzersiz öncesi adaptasyon için haftalık antrenman programına ek olarak 3 haftalık genel kuvvet egzersizi uygulandıktan sonra 8 hafta boyunca haftalık antrenman programına ek olarak pliometrik egzersiz yaptırılmıştır. Pliometrik egzersiz 72 saat aralıklarla ve haftada 2 gün olacak şekilde uygulanmıştır. Pliometrik egzersizler 2 saatlik antrenman seansının ilk saatine entegre edilerek uygulanmıştır. Kontrol grubu yalnızca haftalık antrenmanlarına devam etmiştir. Yüzücülere 8 haftalık pliometrik egzersiz öncesi ve sonrası 25 m ve 50 m serbest stil yüzme performans ölçümü uygulanmıştır. Çalışmadan elde edilen verilerin değerlendirilmesinde Windows için SPSS 22 paket program kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada testler arasındaki farklılıkların belirlenmesi amacıyla bağımsız örneklem t testi ve eşleştirilmiş örneklem t testi analizi kullanılmıştır Yapılan 8 haftalık antrenman periyodu sonrasında; yüzme antrenmanına entegre edilmiş bir şekilde pliometrik egzersiz uygulayan, deney grubu sporcularının, 25 m serbest stil yüzme ve 50 m serbest stil yüzme performanslarında gelişme gözlemlenmiştir. Yalnızca yüzme antrenmanı uygulayan kontrol grubu sporcularının ise, 25 m serbest stil yüzme ve 50 m serbest stil yüzme performanslarında anlamlı bir farklılık tespit edilmemiştir. Bu çalışmadan elde edilen sonuçlar ergenlik öncesi dönemdeki erkek yüzücülerde pliometrik egzersizin sprint yüzme performansını geliştirdiği belirlenmiştir. Gelecekte yapılacak olan çalışmalarda; ergenlik öncesi dönemdeki yüzücüler üzerinde farklı kuvvet antrenmanlarının, yüzücülerin performansı üzerine etkileri araştırılabilir.
