The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of different rest periods after the warm-up (WU) done before a swimming performance.Eighteen licensed male swimmers in Samsun's swimming clubs who have been at least three years in active swimming and training with a minimum of 4 days a week; voluntarily participated in this study. After doing land and water WU, athletes rested 10 min, 20 min, 30 min or 40 min (on different days) before swimming performance. The swimming performance values of the athletes were measured at distances of 50m or 400 m. Each athlete had the test within eight separate days (resting 10 min, 20 min, 30 min or 40 min), with a total of 4 times 50 m and 4 times 400 m. The measurements were carried out at the Olympic swimming pool of Ondokuz Mayıs University. Statistical analysis of the collected data was done using the Friedman test and Wilcoxon sign rank test.Findings show that post- WU rest periods of 10 min, 20 min, 30 min and 40 min, did not have any significant effect on the 50 m swimming performance values of the athletes(p> 0.05), while, a statistically significant effect (p<0.05) was found in performance values when the athletes applied the post-WU rest periods in 400 m swimming distance. Additionally, according to the rest periods post-WU, it was determined that there was no statistically significant difference between the heart rate (HR) values after a 50 m swimming distance (p>0.05), while it seemed to affect the HR values after 400 m distance (p<0.05).Rest periods post-WU do not affect the 50 m swimming performance. However, 40 minutes rest time post- WU enhances the 400 m swimming performance. Concurrently, a higher performance after a 40 min rest period results in higher HR values after a 400 m swimming. In conclusion, we conclude that post-WU rest time does not affect the 50 m and 400 m freestyle swimming performance. However, at 400 m swimming distances, increasing the rest time post- WU improves swimming performance.
