Brief summary

The aim of this study was to measure the changes in the upper extremity force-velocity profile of young swimmers at different training periods during a training season

Detailed description

Tested at each experimental test time point (Baseline: E1, post-general preparation: E2, post-specific E3 and post-competition season: E4). To measure the upper extremity force-velocity parameters, the countermovement push-up test was performed using the force plate

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
The change in the parameters of the force (Newton) obtained from the force platform with countermovement push up from the baseline to the end of the season.	Baseline: E1, (week 0) post-general preparation: E2 (week 6), post-specific E3 ( week12) and post-competition season: E4 (week 16).	Tested at each experimental test time point (Baseline: E1, post-general preparation: E2, post-specific E3 and post-competition season: E4). To measure the upper extremity force-velocity parameters, the countermovement push-up test was performed using the force plate.
velocity (m/s)	Baseline: E1, (week 0) post-general preparation: E2 (week 6), post-specific E3 ( week12) and post-competition season: E4 (week 16).
