ABSTRACT

Introduction: Biomechanical study in motor movement makes it possible to enhance locomotor development, being necessary to establish ideal parameters in sports, such as utilitarian swimming, that have not been investigated in depth. Objective: The research objective is to carry out an analytical study of biomechanical differences between beginner and high performance athletes in the utility swimming test from Military Pentathlon team of the Ecuadorian Armed Forces. Method: 15 athletes of the military pentathlon are studied, of which six belong to high-performance and nine are beginners. Technical data such as: angles, movement path, speed, acceleration and center of gravity are shown in three important phases. Results: The Mann-Whitney U test (p= 0.05) determined five unimportant differences, and three significantly different, while establishing four lower average ranks in high-performance athletes and three lower average ranks for beginning athletes, in addition to a tie in estimation of the average range in comparative calculation of gravity center in the X axis coordinates, when reaching the highest point of table impulse. Conclusions: The study allowed describing and correlating biomechanical variables of importance to be taken into account in management sports training.
