“Selecting the right tool for the job” a narrative overview of experimental methods used to measure or estimate active and passive drag in competitive swimming

Sports Biomechanics, 2023
Free-swimming performance depends strongly on the ability to develop propulsive force and minimise resistive drag. Therefore, estimating resistive drag (passive or active) may be important to understand how free-swimming performance can be improved.

‘Ploughing on’: a sociological investigation of ‘endurance work’ in competitive swimming and distance-running

Qualitative Research in Sport, Exercise and Health, 2021
Despite a burgeoning corpus of qualitative studies of sport and physical cultures, in-depth and embodied investigations of those requiring sustained engagement with ‘endurance work’ remain relatively under-developed.
