The Percentage of the Contribution of some Physical Measurements Physical Abilities and Body Composition in the Achievement of 25 Meters Free Swimming

Abstract

The research aims to identify the relationship of corporeal measurements، physical capabilities and body composition in the achievement of a (25m) freestyle swim and to identify the percentage of the contribution of corporeal measurements، physical capabilities and body composition in freestyle swimming for a distance of (25m). The researchers used the descriptive approach، while the research sample was the players of the Youth and Sports Center in Rania District - Sulaymaniyah Governorate included the junior category (n=45). The researchers used some physical measurements، physical abilities and body composition that were nominated by experts and specialists. After using appropriate statistical methods، the researchers reached the following conclusions: There is a significant correlation between some physical measurements and the achievement of free swimming (25m). There is a significant correlation between some physical abilities and the achievement of free swimming (25m). There is no correlation between body composition and the achievement of free swimming (25m). The percentage of the contribution of some physical measurements to the achievement of free swimming (25 m) is good، which confirms the effectiveness of these measurements in achieving free swimming. The percentage of the contribution of physical abilities to the achievement of free swimming was good، which confirms the effectiveness of these abilities in achieving it. The percentage of body composition’s contribution to the achievement of free swimming (25m) was insignificant، which confirms its ineffectiveness in the achievement of (25m) free swimming. The recommendations were as follows: Emphasis on the importance of anthropometric measurements and physical abilities that showed moral relations and a significant contribution to the achievement of free swimming and working on its development and development and taking this into account in the development of training programs and plans. The necessity of adopting physical measurements and physical abilities when selecting swimming players. Conducting other studies on other environments and unstudied physical and physiological variables. Conducting a study on those whose body mass index exceeds (25m). Or they have an increase in weight to know the effect of BMI on achievement in general.
