Effect of Resistance Training in Water Combined With Land on Starting and Turning ,12-weeks Resistance Training

Resistance training has been widely used in various sports and is a common practice aimed at improving competition performance, especially in swimming. Swimming performance is highly dependent on muscle strength, especially short distances. Water or land resistance training can improve the swimming performance, especially the swimming performance of 50 meters and 100 meters. Both type of training has their own strength and weakness. Hence, combining both methods strength may enhance swimmer performance. In addition, competitive swimming consists of different stages, namely start, clean swim, turn and finish. However, there is no literature on the influence of resistance training on starting and turning.
