| Abstract | ||
| This research aimed at develop mono fin junior swimmers’ physical abilities using functional strength exercises and identify their effect on following sub-aims: developing trunk (abdomen and back) muscles stability and strength for mono fin junior swimmers and improving mono fin junior swimmers’ driving force in abdomen and back muscles. Ninety subjects randomly recruited from dolphin junior swimmers in Sport Police Federation Club registered in Egyptian Diving & Lifesaving Federation in the sport season 2017 participated in the study (30 subjects in experimental group, 30 in control group and 30 for pilot study). Physical abilities tests used as data collecting tools. Experimental group undergone functional strength program consists of (44) training units, (20) training units for general preparation period, and (24) training units for specific preparation period, 5 units/week in general preparation period and 3 units/week in specific preparation period. The most important results indicated that experimental group prove superior to control group in physical variables related to mono fin swimming under study. | ||
