PPT : Warm Up in Swimming!

Content Inside :

* Warming up before competition is important because it prepares the body for greater effort and reduces the risk of muscle and joint injury.
* All swimmers, whether they are involved in a 1500 m race or a 50 m race, need a warm-up. It can last from 20 minutes to an hour.
* Most swimmers and coaches choose the intensity and duration of warm-up intuitively or based on what has been successful in the past.
* Understanding the reasons why warming up is helpful in development of a warm-up protocol.

Benefits of Warm-up
* Good warm-up provides rehearsal effect. Swimmers rehearse swimming technique, starts, turns, and intensity prior to race. It familiarizes the swimmer with the pool conditions.
* Joints and muscles increase flexibility and thus improve stroke efficiency.
* Muscles can contract faster and relax more completely. That reduces the chance for injuries.
* Economy of physiological systems increases 20%-30% after warm-up. Swimmer can swim longer before fatigue during the race if warm up was executed properly.

Benefits of Warm-up
* The resultant increase in body temperature and heart rate takes physiological systems closer to the “competition state”.
* The rate of blood flow increase. This helps to deliver oxygen and glucose to the muscles.
* Blood and muscle lactate accumulation decreases after warm-up.

Types of Warm-up
* There are two types of warm-up: general and specific.
* The purpose of general warm-up is to increase the functional potential of the body as the whole.
* Specific warm-up is related to swimming activity prior to race.
* A general warm-up usually consists of stretching and flexibility exercises.
* A specific warm-up consists of swimming exercises.

General Warm-up
* Increases functional potential of the body.
* Consists of stretching and flexibility, including most important joints:
* Shoulders
* Lower back
* Knees
* Ankles
* Usually about 10 minutes
