Special strength training of qualified swimmers-crawlists

The paper analyzes the relationship of indicators of power capabilities and competitive activity of young swimmers. The effectiveness of the method of organizing the training process was established on the basis of identification and analysis of shifts in the state of special preparedness of swimmers and the dynamics of sports results at their main distance (200m freestyle). In the pedagogical experiment, swimming with stretching of a rubber shock absorber was used. The load set in this case (stretched rubber), forces the athlete not only to increase the speed of movement of the brush in the longitudinal direction, but also to look for ways for the most complete application of potential force in the stroke movements.
