Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how dryland training during an 11-week COVID-19 lockdown affected competitive swimmers' performance in various swimming tests.
- Results showed a significant decrease in critical speed and performance times for middle-distance swims (200, 300, and 400 m), while short-distance swims (50 m and 4 x 50 m) remained unchanged.
- Although overall aerobic fitness declined, the swimmers maintained strength in repeated sprints, suggesting dryland training helps preserve some swim performance during extended periods without pool access.
