COMBINED TRAINING FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF ENDURANCE IN SKILLED LONG-DISTANCE SWIMMERS

Abstract

Aim. The paper aims to justify the means and methods of combined training for the deve­lopment of endurance in skilled long-distance swimmers. Materials and methods. Our training program was used at sports school No 8 (Zlatoust) and its training facilities on the lake Krugloye. The study was conducted during training sessions with female swimmers aged 19–20 years. In the experimental group, our combined method was proposed, which unites different training means and methods within each training session. The following methods were used for the purpose of the study: pedagogical testing, educational experiment, statistical processing. Results. There were significant positive changes in general and special physical fitness of skilled long-distance swimmers. The results obtained can be used by coaches in long-distance swimming. Conclusion. The use of combined training, which unites different methods and means of performance enhancement, improves athletic performance of long-distance female swimmers.
