Abstract
Aim
To investigate the effects of a 10-day tapering on swimming performance, metabolic and hematologic factors, and a 200-m crawl swimming record.
Methods
Eighteen male recreational swimmers (11–17 years) underwent an 8-week vigorous-intensity endurance training (three sessions per week, 90 min per session). Participants’ swimming records were obtained at the end of the training period, and blood samples were drawn. After that, the taper group (TP, n = 12) underwent a 10-day taper program (training volume reduced by 15%, 30%, 45%, and 60% in the first four sessions and 70% in the last session), while the control group (CG, n = 12) kept their training load. At the end of the tapering period, a 200-m crawl swimming time was recorded, and a blood sample was collected to assess metabolic and hematologic factors.
Results
200-m swimming record improvement was higher in TP than in CG (p < 0.05). In addition, creatine phosphokinase, creatinine, urea, uric acid, and lactate dehydrogenase significantly decreased after tapering (p < 0.05). However, hematological factors did not show any significant difference between groups. Furthermore, no significant correlation between swimming records and measured parameters was found.
Conclusion
Our results showed that 10 days of tapering could improve the 200-m swimming record and metabolic but not the hematological profile in young recreational swimmers.
