Abstract

Ballistic training, also known as power training, is a form of strength training that entails an athlete lifting, accelerating and finally releasing a weight rather than slowly lowering it. It was first used among elite athletes who were trying to develop explosiveness to help them improve  their speed. The purpose of this study was to determine whether ballistic resistance training would improvement the performance of swim starts for female students. Ten, grade 4 female students from a physical education program participated in the study. The students' mean height was 1.77± 3.02 meters, with a mean age of 21.14±1.25 years. The subjects were divided equally into two groups. The experimental group completed 6 weeks of ballistic resistance training while the control group participated in a traditional training program. Statistical analysis of the results was carried out using SPSS software. The results showed that the experimental group had significantly higher power and faster swimming starts than the control group. Under the conditions of our study, an intervention using ballistic resistance training for 6 weeks had beneficial effects on performance levels of swimming starts and power.
