The aim of this study was to determine the effect of
interval training on the athletic performances of 9-12 years old swimmers in
addition to the eight-week preparation stage. Athletes were split into two
groups as the ones with performing branch specific swimming training (n=9) and
the ones with performing interval training along with swimming training (n=11).
Before and after training programs, 12-minutes Cooper test was applied to
determine aerobic endurance in both groups. Wingate test was used for anaerobic
measurements. Respiratory functions measurements were done with Spirometer.
According to the results, level of body weight, body mass index, VO2max, relative maximum
strength, relative anaerobic capacity, forced vital capacity and maximum
voluntary ventilation was found to be
insignificant between groups (p>0.05) while vital capacity and forced
expiratory volume values were found to be significant between groups
(p<0.05). Two-way analysis of variance was
used in statistical analysis of the data
obtained in this study. When measurement times were compared, body weight,
forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume, vital capacity and maximum
voluntary ventilation values were found as insignificant (p>0.05), yet body
mass index, VO2max, relative maximum force and relative anaerobic
capacity levels were found to be significant (p<0.05). In conclusion, while
body mass of athletes was reduced by
3.55% with interval training made in addition to swimming training, increase in
forced vital capacity and forced expiratory volumes of athletes were determined
as 1.35% and 8.79%, respectively. This result shows that interval training performed during preparation stage
affect the performance of child athletes.
