Abstract
The purpose of the study is to increase the speed of breaststroke swimming in athletes at the sports specialization stage by developing the explosive power of the lower limb muscles.
Research methods and organization. Methods of analysis of scientific and methodological literature, pedagogical observation, pedagogical testing, pedagogical experimentation, and methods of statistical data processing were employed. The developed course was tested in the training process of 12-14-year-old breaststroke swimmers.
Research results and conclusions. The study determined the degree of influence of the relationship between explosive power development and athletic performance, which is crucial for improving results in breaststroke swimming; the impact of strength training in the gym on the effectiveness of starts and swimming speed in breaststroke overall. It was demonstrated that the explosive power of the legs, primarily developed on land, significantly affects the results of 12-14-year-old breaststroke swimmers. The findings lead to the conclusion that it is beneficial to implement exercises aimed at developing explosive leg power, which contributes to improving athletic performance in breaststroke swimming.
