Resumo: Master athletes have been widely used to examine the age-induced decline of human performance. However, so far very limited reviews are available consolidating the age-related differences in master swimming performance. The aim of the present review was to summarize existing knowledge about the age-related changes in three modalities of swimming performance (i.e., pool-swimming, open-water swimming and swim split in triathlons of different distances). In addition, the paradigm of freestyle swimming records from 50 to 1500mwas used to examine age-related differences and sex difference in performance for age groups 25–29 to 100–104 years. For this example of master freestyle swimmers, the sex difference was smaller in the longer events and increased significantly after the age of ∼70 years. In summary, master athletes competing in swimming as single discipline (i.e., pool-swimming and open-water) and in triathlon (i.e., swim split as first discipline) improved their performances across calendar years. The age-related performance decline in swimming seems to be specific to the discipline, the sex and the length of the swimming event.

Les athlètes seniors ont été largement utilisés pour examiner le déclin de la performance humaine induit par l’âge. Cependant, à ce jour, des études très limitées sont disponibles, consolidant les différences de performances de nage des seniors liées à l’âge. Le but de la présente étude était de résumer les connaissances existantes sur les changements liés à l’âge de trois modalités de performance en natation (à savoir, la natation en piscine, la nage en eau libre et la natation divisée en triathlons de différentes distances). De plus, le cas des records de nage libre de 50 à 1500ma été utilisé pour examiner les différences liées à l’âge et la différence de performance entre les sexes pour les groupes d’âge partant de 25 à 29 ans jusqu’à 100 à 104 ans. En ce qui concerne le cas des nageurs seniors en eau libre, la différence de sexe était plus petite dans les épreuves plus longues et augmentait significativement après l’âge de 70 ans. En résumé, les athlètes seniors pratiquant la natation en tant que discipline unique (c’est-à-dire la natation en piscine et en eau libre) et le triathlon (c’est-àdire la division en natation comme première discipline) ont amélioré leurs performances au fil des années. La baisse de performance liée à l’âge en natation semble être spécifique à la discipline, au sexe et à la durée de la nage.EDP SciencesBiblioteca Digital do IPBKnechtle, BeatBarbosa, Tiago M.Nikolaidis, Pantelis Theo2020-01-03T09:55:15Z20192019-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10198/19975engKnechtle, Beat; Barbosa, Tiago M.; Nikolaidis, Pantelis Theo (2019).
