Abstract:
The orientation process done by coaches and academicians in swimmers’ selection was based on apparent indicators and somebody and physical indicators. Yet the development in genetic studies and applying it to each swimmer will be more accurate. The researchers aimed at studying the athlete’s genes, performance genes based on genetic studies so as to compare among the three versions of the gene and matching it to the corresponding physical abilities. This study sheds the light on swimmers’ orientation and selection through comparing genes a matter that can help specify what is suitable for 30m freestyle swimmers.

Abstract:
Aim. Investigate the predictive relationship between 100 m front crawl swimming performance of youth swimmers and anthropometric characteristics. Materials and methods. Fifty-one active athletes (n = 30 male and n = 21 female) participated in the research and for the purposes of the analysis were divided into two categories (13–15 years n = 32, and 16–18 years old, n = 19). The following anthropometric data were used as set of predictive variables (7 longitudinal, 7 skinfolds, 3 circumference and 1 voluminosity variables). Results. One prediction model for each gender and age group emerged. The percentage of the explained variance of the dependent variable (100 m front crawl performance time) is 84.6 %, 54.4 %, 71.1 % and 72.7 % respectively for male, female, youth and cadet swimmers. The significant variables for each model were: arm span, biceps skinfold, biceps bracchi circumference in contraction for male swimmers, sitting height for female swimmers, biceps bracchi circumference in contraction and body weight for youth swimmers, triceps skinfold and biceps bracchi circumference in contraction for cadet swimmers. Conclusion. Youth swimmers’ performance can be predicted by important anthropometric parameters.

Abstract:
The research aimed at identifying the relationship between starting fever and 50m freestyle achievement in youth swimmers by measuring this type of anxiety as a psychological variable and its relationship with achievement as a physical variable. The researchers used the descriptive method on (10) swimmers from Baghdad clubs while the pilot study was conducted on (4) swimmers. They used a starting fever scale in the form of a questionnaire presented to the subjects before an hour from the race. The data was collected and treated using proper statistical operations to conclude a relationship between start fever and 50m freestyle achievement in youth swimmers. Finally, the researchers recommended paying more attention to start fever due to its great importance in 50m freestyle achievement as well as making similar studies on other activities that require speed performance and achievement of swimmers.

Abstract:
This study investigated the effects of three different types of attention-focusing instructions on the training times of 10 competitive youth swimmers. Mean times indicated that conditions emphasising positive imaging and stroke counting led to faster times than a control condition. Instructions to concentrate on technique did not appear to result in faster times. Subjective assessments of effort indicated the swimmers seemed to feel they had not increased their effort significantly in any condition. These results confirm the potentially positive effects of psychological interventions with swimmers and are discussed in relation to previous work in the field and their implications for coaching.

Abstract:
Abstract The purposes of this study were to compare the kinematic variables in youth swimmers during the grab start between sexes and to investigate the relationship between body composition and kinematic variables of the participants. Six female (Mage = 13.71 ± 0.49 yrs) and seven male (Mage = 14.00 ± 1.07 yrs) swimmers participated in this study. All participants were required to perform grab start tests in random order (three trials by each participant), while the best attempt was analyzed. Nineteen kinematic parameters consisting of block time, flight time, flight distance, total time, total distance, horizontal and vertical displacement of the center of mass (CM) at take-off, horizontal and vertical displacement of the CM at entry, height of take-off and entry, relative height of take-off, horizontal and vertical velocity of the CM at take-off, horizontal and vertical velocity of the CM at entry, angle of take-off, angle of entry and angle of knee at block were analyzed. Out of the 19 evaluated kinematic parameters, a statistical difference between the female and male group was found only in the total distance. Therefore, both female and male groups are considered as only one group and merged after analyzing the results. Statistical analysis showed positive and negative correlations between horizontal / vertical velocity of CM at take-off and several kinematic variables (e.g. angle of entry (rhorizontal = -.868, p=.000 / rvertical = .591, p=.02), total distance (rhorizontal = .594, p=.02 / rvertical = .54, p=.04), and height of take-off (rvertical = .888, p=.000), respectively). On the other hand, positive and negative correlations were found between somatotype components and several kinematic variables (e.g. horizontal displacement of CM at entry (rendomorphy = -.626, p=.013), angle of entry (rmesomorphy = -.686, p=.005 / rectomorphy = .52, p=.047), total distance (rendomorphy = -.626, p=.012), and height of take-off (rendomorphy = -.633, p=.011 / rectomorphy = .515, p=.05)). In conclusion, results show that in order to be successful at grab start performance, a swimmer should target to get higher horizontal velocity of CM at take-off and optimize the angle of take-off so this movement form supplies more total distance to the swimmer. Coaches should consider improving start performance and adding start training to regular training sessions. Moreover, youth male and female swimmers can participate together in the grab start training

Abstract:
A videotaping feedback package was developed for improving skills of youth competitive swimmers. Experiment 1 examined the videotaping package for improving freestyle and backstroke racing turns of young competitive swimmers. Positive results were obtained in a multiple-baseline design across subjects. Experiment 2 compared the videotaping feedback package to a group videotaping procedure (that the coach had been using at the time of this research) for improving freestyle swimming strokes of young competitive swimmers. The videotaping feedback package was effective whereas the group videotaping procedure had little or no effect. For most subjects in the two studies, improvements were maintained with minimal prompting and feedback under normal practice conditions. Suggestions for future research are discussed.

Abstract:
Hydrodensitometry (HD), skinfold thickness measurements (SK), and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) were compared for estimating percent body fat (%BF) in youth competitive swimmers. Agreement was assessed using Bland-Altman plots and linear regression of the differences between methods compared to method means. Limits of agreement between the three techniques were large. Hydrodensitometry and SK demonstrated no difference in precision. Variance was observed between DXA and the other two techniques, with DXA demonstrating a wider distribution of measurement scores than HD or SK. These methods do not appear to be interchangeable when measuring percent body fat in youth swimmers.

Abstract:
Youth swimming performance may be influenced by anthropometric, physiology and technical factors. The present paper examined the role of these factors in performance of 100m freestyle in swimmers 12–14 years of age (n = 24). Multiple regression analysis (forward method) was used to examine the variance of the 100 meters front crawl. Anaerobic power, swimming index and critical speed explained 88% (p < .05) of the variance in the average speed of 100 meters front crawl among young male pubertal swimmers. To conclude, performance of young swimmers in the 100 meters front crawl is determined predominantly by physiological factors and swimming technique.

Thirty youth competitive swimmers in four training groups (ages thirteen-eighteen) from a large swimming team were studied to examine the frequency of coping skills in practice and competition. The researcher used the Test of Performance Strategies (TOPSv.3, 2007) by Thomas et al. (1999), a self-report instrument that measures the frequency of activation, relaxation, imagery, goal setting, self-talk, emotional control, attention control, negative thinking, and automaticity. Swimmers competed at local, regional, and YMCA National Championships. Group 1, the most experienced swimmers, competed at nationals, whereas the other three groups participated at the regional championships. Group 2 came close to national qualification times. Group 3 trained with the others, but at a lesser intensity, and group 4 included the youngest swimmers. The more experienced swimmers reported automaticity, self-talk, activation, and goal setting as the top strategies used in practice in the sometimes range. No strong differences emerged in the frequency of coping strategies for any of the groups throughout the duration of the study. However, three significant differences surfaced between groups 2 and 4 on the competition sub-scales. Swimmers in group 4 reported higher frequency of activation and emotional control and a lower occurrence of negative thinking. Most swimmers described a slightly higher use of psychological coping strategies in competition compared to practice. Nevertheless, TOPSv.3 scores remained relatively stable through the season. The research hypothesis, stating that swimmers will show a greater frequency of coping strategy use in competition compared to practice, is therefore not supported. More experienced swimmers did not use coping strategies more frequently than others. Another instrument may examine changes in coping strategies more effectively. Twenty-seven swimmers also participated in post-season interviews. Swimmers' best and worst race comparisons highlight avoidant-focused and emotion-focused coping. Swimmers utilized emotion-focused, problem-focused, and avoidant-focused coping to varying degrees before, during, and after competition. Imagery and self talk were reported most, while relaxation and goal-setting were used the least. The swimmers' assessment of best and worst races was based solely on results; thus, future qualitative research examining the connection between quality of effort and use of coping skills is recommended.

Abstract:
This study investigated how self-efficacy and coping influences performance and performance related emotions in high performance youth swimmers. Lazarus' (1991. 1999) Cognitive Relational-Motivational Theory holds that how people cope with stress is a process that can subsequently influence both performance and emotions. Problemfocused (i.e. efforts to change a situation), emotion-focused (i.e. emotional control), and avoidance (i.e. withdrawal) coping are three coping functions frequently investigated in sport (Crocker & Graham, 1995; Gaudreau & Blondin, 2002). Self-efficacy, the belief that one can generate the necessary actions to achieve a desired outcome (Bandura, 1997), is another significant predictor of performance (Bandura, 1997). Self-efficacy can be viewed as a potential factor influencing the appraisal of a stressful situation and can play a significant role in the selection of coping options. To date, there has only been one exploratory study looking at the influence of self-efficacy on coping behaviors in sport (Haney & Long, 1995). The purpose of the current study was to examine a model that linked self-efficacy beliefs to coping, performance, and emotions in youth swimmers recruited at provincial championships in British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec. One hundred seventy-seven participants (aged 14-18 years) volunteered to complete questionnaires prior to and following their race. The pre-race questionnaires included a stress thermometer and self-efficacy scale specific to swimming. The post-race instruments included the Coping Functions Questionnaire (Kowalski & Crocker, 2001) and the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS; Watson, Clark, & Tellegen, 1988). It was expected that self-efficacy would be positively correlated to problemfocused coping and that a positive link would be found between problem-focused coping and performance. Furthermore, it was hypothesized that self-efficacy would positively correlate with performance and that a positive goal/time discrepancy would be associated to positive emotions. Results did not support the expected model. Correlational analysis found a positive relationship between self-efficacy and performance discrepancy (r = .24, p<.05) and between performance discrepancy and positive affect (r = .37, p<.05). Subsequent Regression analysis found that performance discrepancy (P= .321, p<.05) and emotion-focused coping (P= .243, p<.05) were significant predictor of positive affect (r = .22, p<.05). Nevertheless, the relationships between self-efficacy and problem-focused coping failed to reach significance. In addition, coping did not correlate with performance. No age or gender differences were found. One of the challenges of linking self-efficacy, coping, and swimming performance was the difficulty of creating the necessary psychological conditions to validate the different hypotheses. While selfefficacy is a good predictor of performance when goals are fixed, coping occurs only when individual goals are at stake. Future research should look at various ways to assess the relationship between coping and self-efficacy.

Effects of inspiratory muscle training on the time trial performance in youth elite swimmers ABSTRACT This research aimed to investigate the effects of swimming and inspiratory muscle training intervention on swimmers’ performance. The subjects were 18 males and 10 females Taipei high school. All the subjects were grouped into experimental group and control group according to their gender, age and swimming performance. In the experimental group, the subjects received inspiratory muscle training of 80% PImax; the control group received 20% PImax once a day, 30 times once, five days a week for six consecutive weeks. Meanwhile, a test of maximal respiratory muscle strength was administered at the fourth week to modify the intensity. The experiment was of eight weeks’ duration. It included basic practice for the experiment and pre-test in the first week, six weeks of respiratory muscle training and post-test in the last week. The data was analyzed with Two-Way Mixed Design ANOVA to examine the variables such as pulmonary function, respiratory muscle strength, swimming performance and self awareness of breathlessness before and after the intervention, with t-test design to examine the variables such as heart rate, blood lactate level. The analysis results are interaction, while the simple main effects were analyzed, if significant, post hoc comparisons to LSD method. The results showed that after six weeks’ inspiratory muscle training intervention (1) the maximal inspiratory muscle strength in the post-test was superior to that in the pre-test (145.78±31.64 cmH2O vs. 116.89±29.08 cmH2O) (p＜.05) (2) the FVC and FEV1 ratio in the post-test was significantly higher than that in the pre-test (4.69±0.96 l vs. 4.07±0.90 l；4.12±0.79 l vs. 3.76±0.84 l) (p＜.05) (3) the FEV1/FVC% in the pre-test was significantly higher than that in the post-test (92.54±3.92% vs. 87.37±7.29 %) (p＜.05) (4) the swimming performance in 50M post-test was better than the pre-test (27.62 ±2.57 sec. vs. 28.60±2.97 sec.) and in 100M as well (60.14±4.64 sec. vs. 61.45±4.64 sec.) (p＜.05). (5) there was no significant difference in the aspect of the difference rate of heart beat of pre-test and post-test in 50M and 100M (p＞.05). (6) there was no significant difference in the difference rate of the blood lactate level in the pre-test and post-test of 50M and 100M (p＞.05). (7) there was no significant difference between selfawareness of breathlessness in the pre-test and post-test (p＞.05). In conclusion, six consecutive weeks’ inspiratory muscle training had a beneficial effect on the performance of youth elite swimmers. Keywords: inspiratory muscle training, blood lactate, swimmers

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a competition routine intervention on youth swimmers’ competition anxiety, confidence and performance. Participants of this study were youth swimmers (n = 4; female) between the ages of 12-16. Through the use of a multiple-baseline, single-subject design, participants received a competition routine intervention involving imagery, positive self-talk and a relaxation deep-breathing technique. Mixed methods were used, with participants completing the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory for Children questionnaire prior to their swim race and a reflective questionnaire following their swim race. Participants also took part in a follow-up interview upon completing the study. Participants showed no considerable decrease in cognitive and somatic anxiety, or increase in self-confidence or performance following the intervention. However, reflective questionnaire and interview results showed that participants perceived a positive improvement in all of these areas and found the intervention beneficial.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT The aim of the study was to compare the maximal oxygen consumption of highly trained adolescent swimmers competing in short, middle, and long distances, taking into account their skeletal muscle mass and body fat mass. These data may be useful for better assessing the aerobic capacity of young swimmers and better planning their training loads. A total of 92 swimmers (31 girls and 61 boys) aged 15–17 years who were part of the Bulgarian Youth National Swim-ming Team were included in the study. The participants were divided into groups according to the distance of their main event: short (50 and 100 m), middle (200 and 400 m), and long (800 and 1500 m) distances. Height, weight, muscle mass, and body fat mass of swimmers were measured to assess their physical development and body composition. Maximal aerobic test was performed on a cycle ergometer. There was only one statistically significant difference between female groups – in maximal oxygen consumption per body weight between short- and middle-distance female swimmers. There was a difference in muscle mass in percentages between short- and long-distance male swimmers. Differences between the means of three variables from the maxi-mal aerobic capacity test were revealed: between maximal workload per body weight of short-distance swimmers and middle-distance swimmers, between maximal oxygen consumption per body weight of short-distance swimmers and middle- and long-distance swimmers, and between maximal oxygen consumption per muscle mass of short-distance swimmers and middle- and long-distance swimmers. In summary, short-distance swimmers had lower maximal oxygen consumption than middle- and long-distance swimmers. The results suggest that maximal oxygen consumption per muscle mass can be used to assess the aerobic capacity of swimmers. The differences in this variable were more pronounced compared to the differences in maximal oxygen consumption per body weight, and in boys, they were even more statistically significant.
