Breaststroke - Open Access .click

Journal of Applied Biomechanics, 2010
This study is aimed at examining the relationships between floatation parameters, assessed by field tests and the stroking characteristics of breaststroke swimmers. The floatation parameters were evaluated for 23 males and 23 females by the hydrostatic lift test, the sinking force acting at the ankle test and the maximal glide length after a push-off ...

Breaststroker's knee: pathology, etiology, and treatment

The American Journal of Sports Medicine, 1980
Twenty-three breaststroke swimmers (ranging in age from 6 to 30 years old) with painful knees were examined. Underwater movies of these swimmers were taken. Eighteen swimmers had tenderness under the medial facet of the patella and over the medial femoral intercondylar ridge.

Modeling of breaststroke swimming

Doklady Physics, 2014
A mechanical system that models swimming using a pair of two-chain extremities is considered. The motion of the system under study is similar to swimming of a frog and some other animals, in which lower extremities play the main role. This type of motion is characteristic of competitive breaststroke swimming.
