Abstract

This paper proposes to emphasize the role and effects of some means of kinetic prophylaxis on preventing the occurrence of functional disorders at performance swimmers, hoping to become a component both during sports training and during competition seasons. From an organizational point of view, the conception of the paper implied several stages ranging from September 2011 to May 2012. The realization of this paper started from the following hypothesis: it is assumed that the use of some means of kinetic prophylaxis for sportsmen can determine the prevention of occurrence of functional disorders that could affect their efficiency during training and competitions. After investigating and establishing the needs to perform primary kinetic prophylaxis procedures specific to the performance sportsmen, some general objectives to intervene by means of relaxation and maintenance massage, jogging and sauna were assigned for every sportsman who participated in this study. The aim of the intervention by means of kinetic prophylaxis was to fight weariness and prevent the occurrence of some functional disorders that could affect the sportsmen’s efficiency during training and competitions.
