Özet:

The present study investigated the impact of three different warm-up routines on 50m swimming performance. 17 swimmers (5 female and 12 male swimmers) (Age:13±0,99, Sport Age:5±1,36, Height: 155±8,01, Weight: 46,7±8,67) participated in the study. Three different warm-up practices were administered to the all swimmers on three separate days. In the control implementation, the swimmers did 5min. Running, had a 2min. Walk, and they performed 6x50m freestyle swimming for warm-up. They did not carry out any static stretching or dynamic warming practices. After 3 minutes. of recovery time, their 50m freestyle swimming performance was measured. On the other day, in the stretching implementation, after the 5min. Running for 2 minutes. walk, 6x50m freestyle swimming for warm-up, the swimmers also performed six different stretching practices. After 3 minutes. of recovery time, their 50m freestyle swimming performance was measured. On the third day, in the dynamic warm-up implementation, after the usual routines of the control group, they performed six different dynamic warm-up practices, and after 3min. again their 50m freestyle swimming performance was measured. The data were analyzed through the Shapiro-Wilk Test was carried out. Upon finding out normal distribution and homogeneity of the variances as a result of variance analysis test, one-way analysis of variance test was performed. Also, Bonferroni Test was conducted for differential variables. Based on the findings, there was no statistically significant difference between dynamic warming practice and other warming protocols. The study also indicated that there was a statistically significant difference between the control implementation and static stretching practice at the 20m and 30m, which means that static stretching practices improved swimming performance (p<0.05).
