Abstract
The study aimed to assess the benefits of stretching and calming exercises for swimmers, focusing on restoring muscles to their normal state and allowing athletes to maintain consistent high-intensity performance. These exercises are essential in athletic training, as they help improve flexibility, promote blood circulation to muscles, and prevent blood from pooling in limbs, while also reducing lactic acid levels for quicker recovery. The research problem emphasized the importance of improving athletic performance through training methods. The objectives of the study were to evaluate the number of stretching and calming exercises and assess their impact on the return of pulse at rest and the completion of a 50-meter freestyle swim. The research hypothesis suggested statistically significant differences between pre- and post-test results. The sample included Olympic champion school students, and the study was conducted at an indoor swimming pool from June to August 2010. The findings concluded that these exercises positively impacted swimmers' achievement levels, and it was recommended to incorporate them into swimming training to enhance overall performance and results.
