TECHNOLOGY FOR DECREASING ACTIVE DRAG AT THE MAXIMAL SWIMMING VELOCITY

Abstract

The article describes the technology for decreasing active drag at the maximal swimming velocity. This technology can be used for both elite and sub-elite swimmers of different sex, age and qualification. It has been developed on the basis of optimal interaction between two functional systems of a swimmer (biomechanical and metabolic). The technology includes three components (training exercises; choice of training categories according to their international classification; use of special technical devices), as well as a set of concrete methods and technical procedures. The parameters, necessary for the research, have been measured by the method of small perturbations with the help of an additional hydrodynamic body.
