Summary

This single-group case series describe individual responses to a 9-week low-volume, high-intensity race-pace training block in 5 finswimmers from the Antioquia Underwater Activities League (LASA), Colombia. The intervention will be oriented towards race-specific swimming paces and will include repeated swimming efforts prescribed according to each athlete's main competitive event. External training load, heart rate, rating of perceived exertion, pace stability, and sport performance were monitored throughout the block. The primary outcome was the change in performance time in each athlete's main competitive event from baseline to post-intervention. The study used an intra-individual descriptive approach and did not include randomisation, a control group, or causal inference.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Low-volume high-intensity race-pace finswimming training

The intervention will consist of a 9-week finswimming training block oriented towards race-specific pace. Participants will perform repeated swimming efforts prescribed according to individual target times derived from baseline performance. Training sessions will include event-specific distances, repetitions, recovery periods, and target intensities. External load will be monitored through distance, repetitions, weekly volume, target time, and actual time. Internal load will be monitored using heart rate and rating of perceived exertion. Training volume will be adjusted according to the athlete's event profile and reduced towards the final phase when tapering is required.
