DETERMINATION OF GENDER PARAMETERS OF SWIMMING SKILLS FORMATION ACCORDING TO THE NORMS OF THE UNIFIED SPORTS CLASSIFICATION

Abstract

The article examines the definition of gender parameters of proper formation and objective assessment of swimmers' achievements according to the norms of the Unified Sports Classification of Ukraine, which took place in 2013-2016. The dynamics of swimming readiness of swimmers of different profiles depending on the gender difference according to the regulatory requirements (based on the average speed of swimming) is found out. This allows achieving a certain level of swimmers' results for the assignment of sports titles of the Unified Sports Classification of Ukraine for 2013-2016.

Thus, for swimmers of the II youth category, the level of difference between the parameters of swimming skills formation among young men and girls is generalized, which is – 0.12 m/s, I youth category – 0.11 m/s, III sports category – 0.12 m/s, II sports category – 0.13 m/s, I sports category – 0.14 m/s, and for THE CMC standards – 0.16 m/s and MS standards – 0.16 m/s. Consequently, the overall difference between young men and girls in terms of average swimming speed at all distances of swimming according to the existing standards of the Unified Sports Classification of Ukraine for 2013-2016 is more than – 0.13 m/s. This range of differences in the average speed of swimming among persons of different sex should be taken into account in the process of high-quality sports breeding and subsequent stages of sports prolonged selection of gifted performers for systematic classes of youth sports swimming. The difference between the parameters of evaluation of youth results from beginners to masters of sports can be used to unify the difference between standards for women and men on the basis of average swimming speed (from 0.134 m/s) and trends in changing the requirements of standards in the category of sports swimming (from 0.11 m/s to 0.16 m/s).
