COMPLEX OF EXERCISES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF ARM AND LEG MUSCLES OF SWIMMING SPECIALIZED STUDENTS

Abstract

This article examines a scientifically based complex of physical exercises designed for the effective development of arm and leg muscles in students specializing in swimming. Special attention is given to improving muscular strength, endurance, flexibility, coordination, and functional preparedness through specially selected dry-land and water-based exercises. The research highlights the importance of balanced muscle development in enhancing swimming technique, stroke efficiency, movement speed, breathing control, and overall sports performance. In the process of training, targeted exercises contribute to strengthening the shoulder girdle, forearm, thigh, calf, and core muscles, which play a crucial role in maintaining body stability and propulsion in water. The article also discusses methodological approaches to organizing training sessions for swimming students, taking into account age characteristics, physical fitness levels, and modern pedagogical requirements. The proposed exercise complex can be effectively used in higher educational institutions, sports schools, and swimming clubs to improve the physical preparedness and competitive potential of young swimmers.
