蹼泳雙蹼器材應用於國小中年級學童游泳能力影響之研究

本研究將蹼泳教學與一般游泳教學做比較，探討使用雙蹼器材教學能否有效提升學生游泳能力。研究對象為臺中市沙鹿區國民小學中年級學生，具備教育部體育署游泳能力第二級者44人。先檢測受試者游泳能力後，隨機分為雙蹼游泳教學A組與一般游泳教學B組，接著展開為期三週每週訓練4次共12天的訓練時間，兩組之課程內容與教學時間皆相同，但雙蹼游泳教學A組在訓練過程須全程配戴蹼泳器材。研究結果發現，兩組游泳能力皆有所提升，但A組三次檢測的游泳能力明顯優於B組，女生游泳能力的進步幅度又優於男生。由此可知，使用雙蹼器材進行游泳訓練能有效增加學生游泳前進距離，而柔軟度較好的女性能更快掌握蹼泳打水的技術，在教學中搭配適當輔具對提升學生游泳能力及學習動機也相當有效。

The research compared finswimming teaching to regular swimming teaching in an attempt to explore whether the former could enhance students' swimming ability. The research subject was 44 students, who were 3rd and 4th grade in Taichung's Shalu Elementary School. They had second grade swimming capacity license accredited by Sports Administration, Ministry of Education. The subjects' swimming ability would be tested upon, followed by random division of A group, finswimming teaching, and B group, regular swimming teaching. Afterwards, there was three week of training with exact same curriculum. Each week would train four times for twelve days. But A group's participants had to wear finswimming equipment at all times during training. The results showed that both groups' swimming ability increased. However, A group apparently better than B group. Females made greater strides that that of males in terms of swimming ability. It showed that using finswimming equipment for training enabled students with longer forward movement. In addition, females with better flexibility could get hold of finswimming kick technique faster than males. Armed with assistive devices, the subjects experienced with better swimming results and greater learning motives.
