CORRECTION OF ERRORS AND INCREASING THE FRONT CRAWL SWIMMING TECHNIQUE EFFICIENCY OF STUDENTS OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND SPORT by Peter Mandzák,Martina Mandzáková Pdf
INTRODUCTION Swimming is one of the compulsory courses in the joint honours study programme "Physical Education and Coaching" at both Bachelor and Master degrees. The aim of the Swimming 1 course is to learn and practice the correct technique of the front crawl stroke and breaststroke and to master basic starts and turns of these swimming techniques. The main criteria required to obtain credits for completing this subject include mastering the correct technique as well as swimming 50 metres front crawl and 100 metres breaststroke in given time limits. Monitoring of swimming competence in pupils at elementary schools, students at secondary schools and university students provides us with information on the actual efficiency of teaching swimming. Application requirements for students of physical education and sport continually keep getting less strict. Future students can pursue their admission process even if they do not score any points in swimming. It is sufficient if they can swim 100 m swimming stroke without a pause. New students often enter the compulsory course "Swimming" with incorrect movement habits and wrong swimming technique. In such cases, the correction of errors is difficult and their elimination during the course is not always successful. Constant decrease of performance level and the quality of swimming technique of applicants have been researched by numerous university teachers (Bence, 2010; Bence – Mandzáková, 2006; Chebeň, 2010; Kalečík – Benčúriková, 2011; Macejková, 1996). Mandzák, 2010, Mandzáková, 2012; Popelka, 2010 and Tonhauserová – Mandzák, 2010 observed the swimming technique of university students in the long run. Swimming technique assessment in terms of quality and efficiency of stroke execution and swimming performance provides us with feedback on efficiency of education. Identifying the most common errors in students’ technique can provide a better understanding of the causes of error adoption and within teaching apply appropriate exercises to correct identified deficiencies. Our study is focused on the front crawl stroke. At the beginning of the research we used diagnostic methods to identify the level of mastering the swimming techniques by students in their first year of university studies. At first, the students took a one–semester course "Swimming 1", and then they took a selective course focused on the improvement of their swimming techniques. Corrective swimming programme constituted a part of both courses. The traditional course was enriched by a system of effective exercises aimed at the correction of the wrong technique. During the output testing, we determined the effectiveness of this programme in terms of changes in quality indicators of the front crawl technique. Apart from the main objective, we also partially aimed at determining the direct relationship between the level of technique and its effectiveness in terms of performance in 100 m front crawl standard discipline.

Learning how to swim can be a frustrating experience sometimes, especially for an adult. Kick with your legs, pull with your arms, breathe in, and breathe out and do it all at the right time. Before you know it you’ve got a hundred and one things to think about and do all at the same time or in the right sequence. The Swimming Strokes Book is designed to break each stroke down into its component parts, those parts being body position, legs, arms, breathing and timing and coordination. An exercise or series of exercises are then assigned to that part along with relevant teaching points and technique tips, to help focus only on that stroke part. Although it is not the same as having a swimming teacher with you to correct you, this book perfectly compliments lessons or helps to enhance your practice time in the pool. The 82 exercises form reference sections for each swimming stroke, complete with technique tips, teaching points and common mistakes for each individual exercise. Clear, concise and easy-to-follow.
The bestselling author of 80/20 Running and How Bad Do You Want It? reveals his inspiring and surprising journey to see just how fast he can go. Matt Fitzgerald has been running (and writing about running) for most of his adult life. But, like many passionate amateur runners, he never felt he was quite fulfilling his potential. If he follows the training, nutrition, and lifestyle of an elite runner, just how fast could he go? In his mid-forties, Matt at last has the freedom to do nothing but train, if only for the span of one summer. The time is now. He convinces the coach of Northern Arizona Elite, one of the country's premier professional running teams, to let him train with a roster of national champions and Olympic hopefuls in the running mecca of Flagstaff, Arizona, leading in to the Chicago Marathon. The results completely redefined Matt’s notion of what is possible, not only for himself but for any runner. Filled with a vibrant cast of characters, rigorous and quad-torching training, and a large dose of self-deprecating humor, Matt’s gripping account of his “fake pro runner” experience allows us to partake in the dream of having the chance to go all the way. Yet for the gifted young runners Matt trains with, it’s not a dream but concrete reality, and their individual stories enrich this inspiring narrative. Running the Dream pulls us into the rarified world of professional running in a way we can all relate to, regardless of speed, and to take away pieces of one man’s amazing journey to try to achieve our own potential.
