About this study
Official title: The Effects of Calisthenics and Life Kinetics Exercises on Reaction Time, Balance, and Swimming Performance in Male Swimmers
This study investigates the effects of calisthenics and life kinetics exercises on reaction time, balance, and swimming performance in male swimmers. Participants will be divided into two groups: one group will perform these additional exercises alongside their regular swimming training, while the other group will continue only with swimming. The study aims to find out if adding these exercises can improve swimmers' physical and performance abilities. The study lasts 8 weeks, with measurements taken before and after the program.
Read the detailed description
his study evaluated the effects of an 8-week calisthenics and life kinetics exercise program on reaction time, balance, and swimming performance in male swimmers. Participants were randomly assigned to either an intervention group, performing the exercises alongside regular swim training, or a control group continuing swim training only. Pre- and post-intervention assessments included standardized reaction time tests, balance evaluations using validated tools, and swimming performance measured through timed swim trials. The study determined whether the addition of these exercises led to significant improvements in the swimmers' physical abilities and performance outcomes.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Calisthenics Exercise ProgramBehavioural
The exercises were administered twice a week for eight weeks alongside their regular swimming training, with each session lasting approximately 30 minutes. Calisthenics exercise included crunch, reverse crunch, plank, super plank, superman, sumo squat, and squat jump movements.
Life Kinetik Exercise ProgramBehavioural
The exercise program was conducted twice a week for eight weeks alongside regular swimming training, with each session lasting approximately 30 minutes. It included various exercises designed to improve hand-eye coordination, balance, reaction time, and motor control, such as throwing, catching, and dribbling balls with both the right and left hands. Exercises involved catching the ball mid-air or after a bounce, tossing tennis balls simultaneously with both hands, and throwing balls against a wall with different catching techniques and hand usages to provide varied challenges.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Calisthenics Training Group | Experimental | Participants received Calisthenics Training exercises in addition to their regular swimming training for 8 weeks. Receives: Behavioral: Calisthenics Exercise Program |
| Life Kinetik Training Group | Experimental | Participants performed the life kinetics exercise program on specific days per week, in addition to their regular swimming training, for a duration of 8 weeks. Receives: Behavioral: Life Kinetik Exercise Program |
| Control Group | No intervention | Participants continued with their regular swimming training only, without any additional interventions. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
15-Meter Freestyle Swimming Time
Participants' performance was assessed using a Selex stopwatch to measure the time (in seconds) taken to swim 15 meters freestyle. Timing started when the swimmer's toes left the starting block and stopped when their head crossed the 15-meter marker. Standard warm-up procedures and competitive swimming rules were followed.
Measured: At baseline and 8 weeks of training
25-Meter Freestyle Swimming Time
The time (in seconds) required to complete a 25-meter freestyle swim was measured using a Selex SLX 508 digital sports stopwatch. Standard warm-up was completed before testing. Participants were instructed to swim at maximal effort.
Measured: At baseline and 8 weeks of training
Secondary outcomes (1)
Reaction Time
Reaction Time (Digital Reaction Test Device) Time Frame: At baseline and after 8 weeks of training Description: Reaction time was measured using a digital reaction test device. In each trial, participants responded to a color change on the screen by touching it as quickly as possible. The test was repeated three times, and the best (shortest) reaction time was recorded in milliseconds (ms).
Measured: At baseline and 8 weeks of training
