Parameters of the formation of swimming skills among young people of different ages and genders among prize-winning swimmers at the XXXI World Universidad in Chengdu-2023, China

Abstract

Relevance and purpose: the International University Sports Federation - FISU, almost always includes swimming in its program for holding the Summer World Universidad’s, which has received the title of the World Championship of University Games since 1959. Swimming has already been represented at the 1st Universidad since 1959, and almost 31 competitions have been held to date. The purpose of the gender is to determine the difference in the indicators of the formation of swimming motor skills among young people of different ages and genders at the XXXI World Swimming Universidad in Chengdu-2023. Material: The results of the prize-finalists were summarized and analyzed at the stage of their holding in 2023, after a forced break from 2019 due to the pandemic: among 100 men and 99 women, respectively, who became prize- winners of these prestigious worldwide competitions under the current Universidad program.
 Results: As the results of our research showed, the absolute leaders (top ten) of student swimming at the XXXI World Universidad in Chengdu-2023 in China were: Italy-30 medals (19 men+11 women), China-20 (6+14), Japan-17 (11+6), Poland-15 (8+7), South Africa: South Africa-7 (7 women), USA-7 (2+5), Brazil-7 (6+1), Lithuania- 6 (3+3), Hungary-4 (4 women), Portugal-3 (1+2). According to the results of receiving prize medals, the following ten were included in the second ten: Germany-2 (2 people), Taiwan-2 (2 people), Romania-2 (2 people), Cyprus-2 (2 women), Kazakhstan-1 ( men), South Korea-1 (1 man), France-1 (1 woman), among men the leaders of the competition were: Italy-19 medals, Japan-11, Poland-8, China-6, Brazil-6 medals , and among women: China-14 medals, Italy-11, Poland-7, South Africa-7, Japan-6, USA-5 medals. So, athletes were awarded: 42 gold, 44 silver and 43 bronze medals, and a total of 127 medals were awarded to swimmers of 17 countries from different continents of the world.
 The dynamics of the formation of swimming motor skills according to the possibilities of overcoming distances in different ways, depending on the similar gender difference in age, were clarified (men, x±m=22.59±0.82; women, x±m = 22.54±1.13 ; t=0.44; р>0.05) of the prize-winning participants of the final starts at the 2023 World Swimming Universidad: the total reliable difference in the average speed of men and women at all swimming distances is more than - 0.18 m/s (men ., x±m=1.84±0.15; women, x±m=1.66±0.13; t=2.349; p<0.05).
