Swimming Strategies for Energy Economy
, 2010 The laws of physics are rigid and fixed. Animals, therefore, are restricted in their use of available energy in accordance to the constraints of mechanics and thermodynamics. Evolutionary success dictates that a large proportion of the available energy reserves be allocated to reproductive effort despite the demand by other energy consuming functions ...

Factors affecting swimming economy in children and adults
European Journal of Applied Physiology, 2004 The aim of this study was to examine the influence of several explanatory factors: anthropometry, buoyancy, passive underwater torque, drag and swimming technique on the energy cost of swimming front crawl in children and adults. Submaximal V(.)O(2) was measured in ten children (age 12) and 13 adults (age 21), as well as body length (BL), body mass ...

Effects of Arms-Only Swimming Training on Performance, Movement Economy, and Aerobic Power
International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance, 2008 Context:Forward propulsion in freestyle swimming is predominantly achieved through arm action. Few studies have assessed the effects of arm training on arm power and swimming performance, yet there have not been any investigations on the effects of arms-only swimming training on swimming performance and physiological responses to arm exercise.Purpose ...

Analysis of determinants of swimming economy in front crawl
European Journal of Applied Physiology and Occupational Physiology, 1990 The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between swimming economy, energy cost to move the body per unit distance (CS) at a given velocity (v) and the potential determinants, i.e. performance level, body size, swimming technique and v. A total of 101 males were studied.

Economy and efficiency of swimming at the surface with fins of different size and stiffness
European Journal of Applied Physiology, 2005 The aim of this study was to investigate how fins with varying physical characteristics affect the energy cost and the efficiency of aquatic locomotion. Experiments were performed on ten college swimmers who were asked to swim the dolphin kick while using a monofin (MF) and to swim the front crawl kick with a small-flexible fin (SF), a large-stiff fin (
