Velocity-regulated Jump-squat Training and 15-m Swimming Start Performance in Youth Swimmers

This study aims to examine the effects of a structured swimming training intervention on sport performance-related outcomes in 14- to 15-year-old federated swimmers from Club Huracanes. The study will use a single-group pre-post field design. Participants will complete baseline assessments before the intervention and post-intervention assessments after the final training week. The intervention will be integrated into the regular training process and will be supervised by the coaching and research team. Outcomes will include swimming performance-related measures and adherence to the intervention. Safety will be monitored throughout the study, and any adverse events or musculoskeletal complaints will be recorded. Written informed consent from parents or legal guardians and assent from the athletes will be required before participation.

Effects of Low-Intensity Technical Tethered Swimming on Front Crawl Kinematics in Adolescent Swimmers

This study evaluated the acute effects of two low-intensity front crawl training conditions on swimming kinematics in adolescent swimmers. After a standardized warm-up, participants performed either low-intensity tethered front crawl or low-intensity free-swimming front crawl. Kinematic measurements were obtained immediately after task completion using an accelerometer. One week later, the final exercise condition was rotated between groups so that both groups completed both training conditions.
