Abstract(s)
The aims of this study were to determine and analyze the relationship between anaerobic critical velocity
(AnCV, m.s-1
) in master swimmers and short swimming distances performances. AnCV was determined for twenty four male
master swimmers (42.0 ± 7.5 years) based on the performance in 15, 25, and 50 m swimming distances. Data was calculated
for each swimmer using the slope of the distance-time relationship and compared with the individual best swimming
performance in 100 and 200 m distances. AnCV15-25 (1.25 ± 0.22 m.s-1
) was significantly lower than AnCV15-25-50 (1.29 ± 0.23
m.s-1
) and AnCV25-50 (1.31 ± 0.23 m.s-1
) was significantly faster compared to AnCV15-25 and AnCV15-25-50. All AnCV
combinations were strongly correlated with swimming performance in 25, 50 and 100 m front-crawl (above 0.90, p < 0.01),
and 25 and 200 m performances in master swimmers (below 0.90, p < 0.01). These findings suggest that AnCV can be used as
a race-pace training reference to monitoring and prescribing anaerobic training in master swimmers, a non-invasive and
inexpensive method that can estimate parameters normally obtained from blood lactate analysis.
