“…These results are in line with Faude et al [11], who showed that four weeks (six sessions per week) of high-volume training (64.78 ± 23.7 km) did not improve the performance of 100 and 400 m front crawls (p > 0.05) in competitive swimmers (age = 16.6 ± 1.4 years). Similar findings stated in several previous studies show that to optimize swimming performance, it is recommended that the intervention periods should last more than four weeks of training [8,19]. For instance, Amara et al [8] noted that a period of eight weeks of training with a total training volume of 201 km could optimize the performance of 100 m butterfly (3.56%) in young competitive male swimmers (age = 14.10 ± 0.30 years).…”

“…The planning of swimming training volume must take into account certain factors, (e.g., age, level of training, swimming specialty). In fact, the training volume can range from 4000 m up to 7000 m per session in young competitive swimmers (between 13 and 17 years old) [8]. However, the management of the psychological state during the swimming career is very important, in order to achieve optimal performance in competitive swimmers [9].…”

“…Several studies have considered that training volume can be divided into two concepts: (1) quality training which is characterized by low-volume, high-intensity training (HIT) and is aimed at improving resistance performance for swimmers and generally incorporated for swimmers specializing in short distances [8,10]. (2) Quantity training, which is characterized by high-volume, low-intensity training (HVT) and is aimed at improving respiratory capacity, and adaptations to skeletal muscle for swimmers and is generally incorporated at the start of the training season [10,11].…”

This study aimed to examine the effect of four weeks of aquatic high-volume training (HVT) on the psychological state (somatic, cognitive anxiety, and self-confidence) and sprint swimming performance (50 m front crawl) compared to the standard training program (moderate volume training) in competitive swimmers. Twenty-eight male competitive swimmers participated in this study and were randomly allocated into two groups: HVT group (n = 14; age = 16.4 ± 0.31 years) and control group that underwent the standard training program (n = 14; age = 16.1 ± 0.30 years). All psychological state variables and swimming performance were measured in pre and post-test. Our findings showed a significant increase in anxiety state (34.13% to 45.83%; ES = 3.26 to 3.38) and a significant decrease in self-confidence (18.43%; ES = 2.39) after four weeks of HVT, while all psychological state variables remained unchanged in the control group (p > 0.05). In addition, our results showed no significant enhancement in swimming performance in both groups (p > 0.05). The sudden increase in training mileage negatively affected the anxiety, decreasing the state of self-confidence of the participants. In addition, four weeks of high training volume are insufficient to improve swimming performance. To conclude, gradually increasing the volume of the training load may be an adequate solution to promote adaptation to the effort, thus maintaining the stability of the psychological state of swimmers. In addition, it is recommended to integrate a concurrent mental preparation program with high-volume training to monitor the psychological state of competitive swimmers.

“…These results suggested that the swimming behavior in mice is hardly trainable. Similarly, the swimming skill is not likely to be improved if there is no intended training in humans ( Smith et al, 2002 ; Amara et al, 2023 ). However, some mice exhibited positive swimming behavior adaptations to long-term training.…”

Introduction: Behaviors of swimming rodents are not uniform, exhibiting large variations, which may underlie the individual differences in swimming exercise-induced benefits. The study aimed to monitor individualized swimming behavior and evaluate its biological significance.Methods: A swimming tank which can monitor individualized rodent swimming behavior during exercise was established. A total of 45 mice were subjected to swimming training for 1 month (1 h per day) and the swimming behaviors of each mouse were recorded.Results: The swimming behaviors of mice displayed considerable variations in aspects of distance, velocity, and area preference. For example, nearly one-third of mice preferred to swim in central area and most of the mice exhibited an even area distribution. Long-term exercise training improved cardiac systolic function and decreased blood pressure in mice, but hardly changed swimming behaviors. Analyses of the relationship between swimming behavior and cardiovascular adaptations to exercise training revealed that swimming behavior indicated the biological effects of swimming training. Specifically, mice which preferred swimming at the central zone or were trainable in behavior during 1-month training exhibited better outcomes in cardiac function and blood pressure post long-term exercise. Mechanistically, a centralized swimming behavior indicated a smaller stress during exercise, as evidenced by a milder activation of hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis.Discussion: These results suggest that swimming behavior during training indicates individualized adaptations to long-term exercise, and highlight a biological significance of swimming behavior monitoring in animal studies.

This study examines how SeaRIA Aquatic athletes' butterfly-style swimming proficiency is affected by using fins and swimming boards during the learning phase. Using a quasi-experimental methodology, the study concentrates on 55 SeaRIA Aquatic athletes. Twenty male athletes were chosen using purposive selection, and groups were created using matching strategies. A pretest, a 14-session therapy phase, and a posttest are all included in the study. The butterfly swimming ability test is used as the assessment instrument. The normality test (Liliefors) and the t-test with a significance level of α=0.05 are used in data analysis. The results show a strong relationship between the fin-and-swimming board learning approach and the improvement of butterfly swimming skills in SeaRIA Aquatic athletes. The estimated t-value of 15.37 is more than the essential t-table value of 1.81, indicating that the observed influence is significant. These findings highlight how well fins and swimming boards can be incorporated into swim training regimens for SeaRIA Aquatic athletes, especially when mastering the difficult butterfly-style technique. The consequences of this study go beyond its local setting, providing insightful information to aquatic sports organisations, coaches, and trainers looking for evidence-based methods to improve their participants' swimming skills. This study adds to the current conversation about novel and efficient ways to maximise training plans and lays the groundwork for further research on water sports education and performance improvement.
