Exercises system to develop flexibility in artistic swimming in children's and school categories (Original)

Abstract

In Artistic Swimming, the development of flexibility plays a leading role in the successful performance of the different figures that make up this sporting modality, being of vital importance the use of exercises that contribute to the athlete’s appropriation of these capacities. In this investigation, the authors proposed the implementation of an exercise system that favors the development of said biological capacity, during its practices from the child and school categories, to guarantee its solid appropriation in the juvenile category. The implementation of the proposed system guaranteed a considerable improvement in the results achieved by the athletes under investigation, expressed in significant values provided by the applied statistics.
