INJURIES IN COMPETITIVE SWIMMING

Clinics in Sports Medicine, 1999
Competitive swimming is commonly thought to be an injury-free sport. Traumatic and overuse injuries do occur, especially if one includes accidents occurring to both athletes and spectators, and accidents resulting from some of the newer diving and starting techniques.

Energetics of Competitive Swimming

Sports Medicine, 1994
An analysis of the mechanics and energetics of swimming reveals that different factors play key roles in success in competitive swimming events. Knowledge of these performance factors will help the development of optimal training programmes, especially when their relative importance can be identified.

Myocardial Adaptations to Competitive Swim Training

Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 2019
ABSTRACT Purpose Swim training is performed in the prone or supine position and obligates water immersion, factors that may augment cardiac volume loading more than other endurance sports. At present, prospective data defining the cardiac responses to swim training are lacking.

KNEE PAIN IN COMPETITIVE SWIMMING

Clinics in Sports Medicine, 1999
The high volume of training in competitive swimming results in cumulative overload injuries. Knee pain ranks second to shoulder pain as a common complaint in competitive swimmers. Most knee pain occurs on the medial side of the knee and, most commonly, in breaststroke swimmers; however, knee pain may accompany all strokes.

Orthopedic Aspects of Competitive Swimming

Clinics in Sports Medicine, 1987
Orthopedic problems related to competitive swimming are rarely disabling, but can be problematic in preventing training and competition. Most problems are related to the shoulder and knee. Treatment is primarily nonsurgical and directed at relieving symptoms and allowing the athlete to continue with swimming practice. Treatment aids such as ice packing,

Lane bias in elite-level swimming competition

Journal of Sports Sciences, 2016
Performance outcomes at the 2013 World Swimming Championship were previously shown to be biased depending on the swimmer's lane assignment. The purpose of this study was to determine if this kind of bias was unique, and if not, if the bias was related to the temporary or permanent nature of the pool.

Exercise-Training Intervention Studies in Competitive Swimming

Sports Medicine, 2012
Competitive swimming has a long history and is currently one of the largest Olympic sports, with 16 pool events. Several aspects separate swimming from most other sports such as (i) the prone position; (ii) simultaneous use of arms and legs for propulsion; (iii) water immersion (i.e.

Dry-land resistance training for competitive swimming

Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 1993
To determine the value of dry-land resistance training on front crawl swimming performance, two groups of 12 intercollegiate male swimmers were equated based upon preswimming performance, swim power values, and stroke specialties. Throughout the 14 wk of their competitive swimming season, both swim training group (SWIM, N = 12) and combined swim and ...

Relationship Between Oxygen Uptake, Stroke Rate and Swimming Velocity in Competitive Swimming

International Journal of Sports Medicine, 1995
The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between oxygen demand, stroke rate and swimming velocity in competitive swimmers. The subjects who volunteered for this study were ten trained male swimmers (age, 16.7 +/- 0.4 yrs). VO2peak, swimming velocities at 80% (V80% VO2peak) and 100% (V100% VO2peak) of VO2peak and swimming velocity at ...
