Abstract :The presented study focuses on the impact analysis of a specific training programme primarily focusing on plyometric exercises for the lower limb explosive power, and the selected parameters of swimming turns. The tested set consisted of performance swimmers insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n = 20, men n = 12 and women n = 8); in the average age of 17.3 years, average height of 174.2cm, and average weight of 65.8kg. The tested set was divided into two smaller sets. The experimental set insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n = 10); used the training process as an extra experimental factor and the supervision set insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n = 10); carried out only the main contents of the training process. The specific training schedule was applied during the period of 8 weeks, three times a week for 20 minutes. The effectiveness of the experimental factor was tested through a selected set of tests, focusing primarily on the lower limb explosive power. Three of the tests were conducted on the dryland using the Myotest machine: T1 – Squat jump insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SJ);, T2 – Countermovement Jump insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CMJ); and T3 – Plyometric jump insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PJ);. The tests conducted in the swimming pool were: T4 – max. length of floating up after the push off from the turning wall, and T5 – the length of push off after 25m of breaststrokes in the maximum speed with a push off from the wall of maximum floating up. The results pointed out a proportionally higher increase in the experimental set, in which the average percentile improvement of the jump height amounted to 17.7% in T1 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(the changes in the supervision set were 0.7%);; in T2 the jump height was increased by 22% insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(the changes in the supervision set were 0.6%);; in T3 the time of contact increased by 18.5% insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(the supervision set showed a decrease by 1.2%);, T4 by 14.9% insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(the changes in the supervision set were 4.1%); and in T5 by 22.7% insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(the changes in the supervision set were 11.0%);. Kendall correlation coefficient insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(r);, pointed out the average value of the correlation coefficient between the experimental factor and the individual tests as follows: T1: r = 0.39, p<0.05; T2: r = 0.41, p<0.05; T3: r = 0.43, p<0.05, T4: r = 0.38, p<0.05 a T5: r = 0.41, p<0.05. In conclusion, practice, improvement, and affectivity of the swimming turn can affect the swimmers’ performance in races and improve it.
