The effect of hypoxic training on the development of breathing skill and some respiratory variables among short-distance swimmers

Abstract

The field of training encompasses various branches in which researchers aim to enhance the abilities of athletes to their fullest potential. One such branch is hypoxic training, which involves controlling the breathing process and reducing reliance on oxygen. This method is commonly employed in sports such as swimming and athletics. The effectiveness of the 50-meter event relies on the oxygenic system, which plays a crucial role in determining the athletic performance in this competition. The researchers utilized the hypoxic training approach to enhance the physiological capabilities of swimmers and elevate their swimming performance. The objective of the research is to determine the impact of hypoxic training on the enhancement of specific physiological abilities in 50-meter butterfly swimmers. The researchers hypothesize that there will be statistically significant differences between the pre- and post-tests, favoring the post-test, in terms of these physiological abilities. Furthermore, there are statistically significant disparities in the cardiac and dimensions data at the digital level for 50-meter swimmers, with the telemetry method being more advantageous. The research findings suggest that there are statistically significant advantages to using dimensional measurement in terms of performance time. Additionally, there are statistically significant differences in certain physiological abilities, indicating that dimensional measurement is an effective training method for enhancing aerobic capacity and endurance performance.
