Comparative analysis of start features of men swimmers

Research object – kinematic parameters features of start performance in 50 and 100 meters freestyle men swimming. Research aim – determine kinematic parameters features of best European swimmers in 50 and 100 meters freestyle swimming. Hypothesis − distance traveled under the water overcoming features has same influence for adult and junior swimmers 50 and 100 meters freestyle swimming. Objectives of the study: 1. Assess kinematic parameters features of best European swimmers in 50 and 100 meters freestyle swimming. 2. Compare kinematic parameters features of best European Adult and Junior swimmers in 50 and 100 meters freestyle swimming. 3. Assess kinematic parameters features interaction between each other and sport results in 50 and 100 meters freestyle swimming. Conclusions: 1. The time that it takes to for the swimmer to leave the block and distance traveled under the water of European Adult and Junior swimmers in 50 and 100 meters freestyle swimming does not differ significantly. 2. Adults of European championship were better and significantly correlated in all researched parameters except distance traveled under water in 50 m freestyle. 3. Distance traveled under water negatively influenced start distance speed of both adults and juniors in 100 meters and adults in 50 meters freestyle swimming
