Associations between load-velocity profiling and race parameters of elite swimmers in the 100 and 200m freestyle events

Frontiers in Sports and Active Living, 2023
IntroductionImproving swimming performance involves assessments of biomechanical variables of the stroke, and it can be achieved using semi-tethered swimming tests. The aim of this study was thus to investigate the associations between load-velocity (L-V)

A path-flow analysis model for active drag force determinant variables in age-group swimmers [PDF]

, 2010
The goal of competitive swimming is to travel the event distance as fast as possible. The identification of the parameters that predict swimming performances is one of the main aims of the swimming “science” community. Indeed, it is consensual that

The Effect of Competitive Swimming on Oral Health Status [PDF]

, 2020
Objectives/Aims: Competitive athletes are often considered to be susceptible to bodily injury. It is now being realized that competitive swimmers are also at risk, specifically in the unsuspected realm of the oral cavity.

Competitive swimmers modify racing start depth upon request [PDF]

, 2011
To expand upon recent findings showing that competitive swimmers complete significantly shallower racing starts in shallower pools, 12 more experienced and 13 less experienced swimmers were filmed underwater during completion of competitive starts.

Competitive Swim Start Safety

International Journal of Aquatic Research and Education, 2014
It could be argued that the only component of competitive swimming that is associated with any appreciable risk to the swimmer is the execution of the racing start from a starting block into shallow water. Recently, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) collected and considered input as a means to formulate guidelines for minimum water ...

Universality, limits and predictability of gold-medal performances at the Olympic Games [PDF]

, 2012
Inspired by the Games held in ancient Greece, modern Olympics represent the world's largest pageant of athletic skill and competitive spirit. Performances of athletes at the Olympic Games mirror, since 1896, human potentialities in sports, and thus ...

Water depth influences the head depth of competitive racing starts [PDF]

, 2011
Recent research suggests that swimmers perform deeper starts in deeper water (Blitvich, McElroy, Blanksby, Clothier, & Pearson, 2000; Cornett, White, Wright, Willmott, & Stager, 2011).

Effect of plyometric training on swimming block start performance in adolescents [PDF]

, 2009
This study aimed to identify the effect of plyometric training (PT), when added to habitual training (HT) regimes, on swim start performance. After the completion of a baseline competitive swim start, 22 adolescent swimmers were randomly assigned to ...

Assessment of an international breaststroke swimmer using a race readiness test [PDF]

, 2009
Competitive swimmers routinely undertake a 7 x 200-m incremental step test to evaluate their fitness and readiness to compete.An exercise protocol more closely replicating competition swimming speeds may provide further insight into the swimmer’s ...
