The effect of coordination on the functional readiness of stayer swimmers

the development and improvement of motor qualities forms the basis of functional readiness of athletes. Their manifestations in different sports and disciplines are not the same. The specifics of competitive wrestling determine the rank structure of the degree of their influence on the effectiveness of performances. A high level of mastery of one's body in swimming, both in the air and in the water, is considered an effective means of improving results, is specific in nature and places special demands on the development of coordination and taking into account its impact on the development and improvement of other motor qualities that form the basis of athletes' functional readiness. The main research method was a pedagogical experiment with pupils of a children's and youth school. During the 2024-2025 training year, they performed tasks with a fairly large number of exercises aimed at increasing the level of coordination of movements during competitive exercises, which are based on improving neuromuscular regulation. Improvements occurred due to an increase in distance speed due to the use of a more rational technique that reflects the specifics of a long crawl and reduces the time required to complete a large number of turns. During the competition, the athletes were able to implement a planned tactical scheme for completing the distances, to engage in competitive wrestling at the right moment, which also reflected in an improved result and a high command position.
