[Swimming performance in the aged].

M Letzelter, C Jungermann, W Freitag

    Zeitschrift Fur Gerontologie
    |November 1, 1986

    Summary

    As swimmers age, their performance declines quadratically across all strokes. However, consistent training can help maintain or improve efficiency even in older age groups.

    Area of Science:

    • Sports Science
    • Gerontology
    • Human Performance

    Context:

    • Aging significantly impacts athletic performance, particularly in swimming.
    • Understanding age-related decline in swimmers is crucial for training and competition.
    • Previous studies have explored performance changes with age, but comprehensive analysis across strokes is needed.

    Purpose:

    • To analyze the age-related decline in swimming performance across different strokes.
    • To compare cross-sectional and longitudinal data to identify trends in swimming speed reduction.
    • To investigate factors influencing performance maintenance in master swimmers.

    Summary:

    • This study analyzed 3,469 swimmers across 9 age groups and 4 strokes, revealing a quadratic trend in speed reduction with age.
    • Back-stroke showed the greatest efficiency loss, while crawl swimming exhibited the least.
    • Individual training intensity and volume can mitigate age-related decline, even in older swimmers.

    Impact:

    • Provides insights into age-related swimming performance decrements and stroke-specific variations.
    • Highlights the potential for continued high-level performance in master swimmers through dedicated training.
    • Informs training programs and strategies for aging athletes to optimize performance and longevity in swimming.
