The Effect Of Functional Training On Specific Performance In Swimmers

Function training is a new born training trend recently, which is a newly-developing research, and it is getting popular rapidly. It is unlimited innovation of the current training methods.America and Australia have gradually changed the traditional ways which they don’t require completing the session with the equipments, and emphasis the core training. The method and practices have been innovated to change the training more efficiently and economical. However, Chinese national team hardly to apply this method. They recruit some physical coaches for the athletes, and send out some outstanding athletes such as Zhang Lin and Sun Yang to accept special function training. Not all the regions have introduced function training in the daily training at present.This study chooses two groups of swimming specialized students. The experimental group applies the method and the control group uses the traditional training. Before and after the experiment, the researchers collect the data on physical quality, special quality to analyze. The test is along eight weeks, and the result shown below:(1)the physical quality of the two groups have been improved significantly, but sit and lean forward did not change.(2) After training, the FMS test scores has been improved. It reflected the trunk stability push-up scores, but does not effect on rotary stability, which still maintain high level. The physical condition was improved by the training and the weak link of the body, change the imbalance body and reduce the possibility of sports injury.(3) Leg kick was improved effectively, and the stability of the trunk and back muscles and the ability to keep streamline were better than before, SR and DPS were increased, special quality was promoted, the efficiency of energy transfer was improved and the swimming result was accelerated.(4) Although the both groups were improved by the training, the experimental group improved more focused by the function training. According to the comparative analysis, the result showed that adopting function training could clearly increase the swimming score compared with the traditional training. Function training showed us that it can be helped the trainers better than the others on the raising swimming grades.(5)The experimental results showed that the function training for the different level, gender, and dominant term training could improve the special grades significantly. The comparison between the two groups found, the improvement of the special grades has nothing to do with the different grade and gender, but associated with dominant term. The backstroke swimmers’special performance improved more significantly than the butterfly and breaststroke swimmers’after the function training.
