Increasing the efficiency of the transition period from warm-up to start in competitive swimming
Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
The purpose of the study is to develop a methodology that allows determining the effectiveness of the time interval between warm-up and start. Research methods: analysis and synthesis of data from scientific and methodological literature, pedagogical experiment, methods of mathematical statistics. Research results and conclusions. The developed original methodology was tested in the training process of the Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University swimming team. The study revealed a significant reduction in athletes' anxiety levels, indicating the positive effect of the applied methods on the psycho-emotional state of the athletes. The obtained result allows for the conclusion that it is advisable to include the proposed methods in the set of supportive measures for swimmers between warm-up and start.

Keywords:
