Energetics of backstroke swimming in males and females
Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 1992The aims of this study were to compare the oxygen demand of back crawl in male and female competitive swimmers and to examine the effect of stroke mechanics on these costs. Twenty-two male and 16 female swimmers participated in the study. The VO2 increased with v2 to a peak of approximately 4.03 l.min-1 in males and of approximately 2.88 l.min-1 in ...

ENERGY COST, HEART RATE AND PERCEIVED EXERTION DURING THE ELEMENTARY BACKSTROKE
Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 1983In brief: The purpose of this study was to determine the energy cost of the elementary backstroke and to see if heart rate and perceived exertion are useful for monitoring exercise intensity. Five healthy men and five healthy women swam the elementary backstroke at four different intensities, and velocity, VO2, heart rate, and perceived exertion were ...

Backstroke start kinematic and kinetic changes due to different feet positioning
Journal of Sports Sciences, 2013The backstroke swimming start international rules changed in 2005. This study compared two backstroke start variants, both with feet parallel to each other but in complete immersion and emersion. Six elite swimmers performed two sets of 4 maximal 15 m bouts, each set using one of the variants.

Analysis of kinematic parameters during competitive backstroke swimming
1974The motivation for this article stems from the interest of the author in the biomechanics of competitive backstroke swimming. The results presented are concerned with three aspects of this sports skill: (a) description of the results of an analysis of 100-m backstroke performance and the methods used, (b) techniques for maintaining the competitive ...
