| Summary: | The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different heating applications with varying intensities on the 100 m swimming performance of swimmers. Fourteen young swimmers (age: 12.50±0.76 years; height: 158.79±5.67 cm; body weight: 43.36±5.09 kg) participated in the study voluntarily. The swimmers were subjected to low and medium intensity heating protocols, using both static stretching and dynamic warming up techniques, both in and out of water. For the medium intensity heating, the maximum heart rate was taken as 70-79% and for the low intensity heating, the maximum heart rate was taken as 57-64%. The 100 m performance trials were timed using a stopwatch (Finis 3X-300M Chronometer, CA, USA) by an expert swimming coach and swimming referees. The statistical analysis of the test results was performed using the SPSS Statistics software When the data in our study were evaluated, it was found that there was no difference in the 100 m swimming performance of young swimmers aged 11-13 between low-intensity land (out of water) and in-water heating. Similarly, it is observed that medium-intensity land-based and water-based warm-ups do not positively affect the performance of the 100-meter swim, and they are not statistically significant. In conclusion, in our study, low and medium intensity land and in-water heating did not have a significant effect on the 100 m performance parameter in young swimmers.
