Abstract

This study seeks to understand the relationship between muscular strength (force fast) of the upper and lower extremities and performance in the 50-meter freestyle race among young adults aged 13 to 15 years. A descriptive correlational approach was used, and the research sample included 8 junior swimmers who train at the Athletic Swimming Club in Hassi Bahbah in Djelfa. To collect data, a set of physical tests were used. The results showed the following: There is a statistically significant correlation between the rapid strength of the upper extremities and the level of performance in the 50-meter freestyle race. There is a statistically significant correlation between the rapid strength of the lower extremities and the level of performance in the 50-meter freestyle race. These results confirm the general hypothesis of the study, which suggests a correlation between muscular strength (force fast) of the upper and lower extremities and performance level in the 50-meter freestyle race among young people aged 13 to 15 years.
