1999-2008 British Swimming & ASA coach
Andrei VORONTSOV, Ph.D.
 Practical Sport Science

• Specialised centers of sport science support appear around

the World (Service Centes)
• Usually they are based at Universities which afford
facilities & trained staff
• Many prominent sport scientists/science-research groups
paticipate in service delivery, combined with studies and
accumulation of data base
• Big national swimming teams/national training centers
require a sport science support on daily base covering all
major issues (biomechanics, physiology-biochemistry,
medical service, nutrition etc.)
 SPORT SCIENCE PROVIDERS IN THE USSR/RUSSIA

1. Federal Science-Research Institutes for Physical

Culture and Sport (Laboratory of Sport Swimming)

2. Republican SRI for Ph.C. and Sport (10-12)
3. Departments and Chairs of Aquatic Sports (Swimming) at
Universities (around 50-60)

Complex Science Support Groups for:

1. National Team
2. Republican Swimming Teams + Moscow &
Leningrad SSG
3. Regional (provincial) teams
 MEDICAL SUPPORT PROVIDERS:
1. State, republican and local Specialized Sports
Policlinics – routine health check every 6th month
2. Medical Support of the National Sports Teams
(Special Department within the Ministry of Sport)
3. Since 2010 all medical staff of the National Sports
Teams was disbanded and after revision &
assessment was subordinated to the Federal
Medical/Biological Agency (Federal Emergency
Medicine Institution)
Complex Scientific Group of the Russian
National Team

1973-1986 – CSG staff = 35-37

2000-2005 – ceased to exist
2005-2010 CSG staff = 3
Chief Sport Scientist, Sport Scientist, Engineer
+ 1 medical doctor + 1 masseur

2010-2012 staff = 5-6 (3 CSG people)

+ psychologist (+ psychologist for Olympics) +
+ nutritionist + specialist in biochemistry
+ 2 doctors & 2 masseurs

PRIVILEGED CONSUMER OF SPORT SCIENCE

He takes part in planning of content and implementation of

the SPORT SCIENCE

4 YEAR PLAN OF SPORT SCIENCE &

MEDICAL SUPPORT is a part of the
TARGET COMPLEX PROGRAMME FOR
SPORT SWIMMING, approved by Experts
Comission of the Russian Ministry of Sport

Content of testing, time schedule and the form of results’

submission aproved by the HEAD COACH - after each camp
HC signs the report of SSG (”a payrol” for science staff)
 LEVELS OF MEDICAL ANS SPORT SCIENCE
SUPPORT
Level 1. PROFOUND SCREENING at the FMBA
facilities – every 6 month all listed members to the
National Team. Admission to training based on
medical conclusions (CHIEF OF CSSG /TEAM DOCTORS)
Level 2. STAGE testing – in the beginning and in the
end of every block of training (as assigned by Head Coach)
Level 3. Routine testing – on advanced request of
coaches or swimmers at the training camps
SPORT SCIENCE SUPPORT GROUP OF THE NATIONAL
SWIMMING TEAM
- PARTICIPATES IN PLANNING, MONITORING,
ASSESSMENT & CORRECTION OF TRAINING
PROCESS ON DAILY BASE

The Head of Science Support Group participates in

process of
discussion and approval of individual training plans
of every member of the National Swimming Team

TRAINING PROCESS IN THE NATIONAL
SWIMMING TEAM

• Season = 3 x 16-19-week
Macrocycles & each MC consists of
4 Mesocycles or Blocks:
1. Slows Aerobic + Functional Strength
2. Fast Aerobic + Specific Strength
3. Race Build Up (Quality Training)
4. Taper + competitions

Every training block, every

camp has scientific, medical &
nutritional cover, planned in
advance
 ALTITUDE TRAINING

• Altitude Training – OPTIONAL

(altitude camp is held within every MC = 3 times a year)
• Venues of choice: TSAKHKADZOR – 1950 m
SIERRA-NEVADA – 2320 m above sea level
Model of altitude training based on
dynamics of adaptation
 SCIENCE SUPPORT OF ALTITUDE TRAINING

Altitude Training within every MC:

(the content of science & medical support)
• Early selection of candidates based on training experience and
blood screening (reticulocytes, Hb, Ht, Fe)
• MONITORING OF ADAPTATION - blood screening during the
camps: Hb, Ht, ALT, AST, blood urea, CFK, ECG,
control of body mass & composition
• Evaluation of working capability and efficiency of training on
biological and biomechanical criteria
• Nutrition, supplementation & Re-hydration
 Blood screening (at altitude camps)
Hematology + biochemistry = every 4-5 days
Own Biochemical Laboratory of the RSF
(since 2011) Head Scientist + 1 staff
