Programa de ejercicios para mejorar la eficiencia del gesto técnico de la brazada en el estilo crol, para la selección de triatlón categoría de 10 a 12 años de la Federación Deportiva del Azuay

Abstract

The objective of this research is defined in developing an exercise program for the children's triathlon teams, which allows to establish a methodology for the swimming modality, which guarantees the efficiency of the technical gesture of the stroke in the crawl style and to achieve it, they were processed the results in a study sample of 12 triathletes with a minimum experience of one year in swimming, grouped in the categories 10 to 12 years of age, the exercise program is made up of 21 work sessions, with the use of videos and a free software for biomechanical analysis Kinovea, a pre and post test were applied, which allowed through the study of their angles, to establish an average of ranges of objective values in this age category, analyzing the results in the study sample, These were subjected to a process of comparative analysis between the ranges of the angles of the tests before and after applying the exercise program. . The video analysis with biomechanical software, the “Finis Forearm Fulcrum” stroke corrector, the selection program for specific traction exercises, made it possible to identify the triathletes' deficiencies, correct and enhance their technical gesture. According to the analysis of ranges by compliance, positive results were obtained when applying the exercise program, which are summarized: 44% of triathletes reached the optimal angle in the grip phase, 11% of swimmers are within the required angle in the pulling phase and 67% of athletes showed a wide improvement in the pushing phase. It is concluded that the proposed exercise program positively influences the efficiency of the technical gesture of the stroke in the crawl style, in the triathlon selection category of 10 to 12 years
