Effects of Dryland Training During the COVID-19 Lockdown Period on Swimming Performance

CONCLUSIONS: Performance deterioration in the 200, 300, and 400 m indicates reduced aerobic fitness and impaired technical ability, while strength and repeated-sprint ability were maintained. When a long abstention from swimming training is forced, dryland training may facilitate preservation in short-distance but not middle-distance swimming performance.PMID:35894996 | DOI:10.1123/ijspp.2021-0516
