EMPLOYMENT OF RESISTANCE EXERCISE IN ACCORDANCE TO VARIABLE BIOMECHANICAL MARKERS TO DEVELOP THE STRENGTH AND THE SPEED OF ARM MUSCLES OF WATER POLO PLAYERS

Abstract

This text discusses the importance of employing specialists in sports sciences, particularly in the field of biomechanics, to analyze and improve sports techniques, with a focus on swimming and water polo. The research aims to address weaknesses in physical abilities, particularly arm strength and speed, in young water polo players. It emphasizes the use of resistance training and kinetic analysis to develop these abilities. The study concludes that integrating resistance training and biomechanical analysis is crucial for effective training, and recommends coaches to incorporate scientific principles, including biomechanics, in their training programs. The research was conducted with swimmers from the national youth team, employing an experimental approach with control and experimental groups, involving 24 training units along with pre- and post-tests for analysis.
