Upper Extremity Force-velocity Profile in Swimmers

The Effect of Training Periodization on the Upper Extremity Force-velocity Profile in Swimmers During a Macro Cycle

The aim of this study was to measure the changes in the upper extremity force-velocity profile of young swimmers at different training periods during a training season

Tested at each experimental test time point (Baseline: E1, post-general preparation: E2, post-specific E3 and post-competition season: E4). To measure the upper extremity force-velocity parameters, the countermovement push-up test was performed using the force plate

Inclusion Criteria:

• 15-18 age
• go to training regularly

Exclusion Criteria:

• upper extremity surgery in the last 1 year
• pain during the tests
