Abstract

The application of critical speed in swimming is a new and inexpensive method, but the number of scientific evidence on critical speed and the manipulation of training depending on it is still rare due to its recentness, so the current research aims to determine the critical speed of young swimmers based on four different races in freestyle swimming, and to identify the effect of manipulation the training load according to the critical speed on some physical fitness variables and the level of record achievement for the young swimmers in the 400m freestyle. The researchers used the experimental method and relied on 16 swimmers in Kafr El-Sheikh Sports Club, born in 2006, who were divided into two groups, one of them is experimental and the other is control.
The quantification of critical velocity requires a determination of the time at each distance, which is recorded on the (x-axis) for a set of different swimming distances which recorded on the (y-axis), The researchers manipulate the training loads according to the critical speed for a period of 8 training weeks, and the researchers found an improvement in all physical fitness variables represented in (speed, speed endurance, endurance) and an improvement in the level of record achievement 400 m for both groups, but when comparing the experimental group with the control group, there was an improvement in the endurance variable and the variable of the record achievement level of the experimental group.
