Multidimensional Indicators of the Sporting Potential of Young Swimmers

Abstract

Introduction: Sports performance in swimming by young athletes is a phenomenon determined by numerous factors. Thus, a multidimensional approach has been used, with the intention of analyzing as much information as possible to outline, in the best possible way, the potential of young swimmers. Objective: To evaluate the anthropometric, physical-motor, psychosocial and maturational characteristics of young male swimming athletes from a military school and compare with non-athlete students. Methods: The sample consisted of 366 male students, aged between 12 and 17 years old, who were divided into two groups: Young Swimming Athletes (n=18) and Non-Athletes (n=348). A battery of tests for evaluating multidimensional indicators of sporting potential was applied. Results and Conclusion: Young swimmers had a lower percentage of fat, greater physical-motor performance, better psychological indicators and higher predicted adult height compared to non-athlete schoolchildren. Such results can serve as support for teacher-coaches in the process of identification, selection and development of young swimmers at school level.
