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.

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 ...
