Real-time monitoring of swimming performance

2016 38th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBC), 2016
This article presents the performance results of a novel algorithm for swimming analysis in real-time within a low-power wrist-worn device. The estimated parameters are: lap count, stroke count, time in lap, total swimming time, pace/speed per lap, total swam distance, and swimming efficiency (SWOLF).

Swim performance decrement over middle life

Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 1975
Swim records data from the U.S. Masters swim program afforded a chance to estimate the decline in swim performance over middle life. Men's records data indicated a falloff in swim performance of slightly less than one percent per year over the ages of 27.5 to 57.5 years.

Open Water Swimming Performance

2015
Open water swimming is defined as any swimming competition that takes place in rivers, lakes, oceans, or water channels. Since the inclusion of open water swimming as an Olympic event in 2008, it has steadily been gaining popularity worldwide. Many studies have focused on the risks involved in open water swimming events.

Performance efficiency of swim fins

Ocean Engineering, 1974
Abstract Design improvements on swim fins are most difficult, if not impossible, to assess quantitatively by swimmers alone. In order to make reliable measurements of swim fin performance, an instrumented mechanical swimming device was developed and operated in a water tank.

Buoyancy, Gender, and Swimming Performance

Journal of Applied Biomechanics, 2000
This study investigated the relationship of gender and buoyancy to sprint swimming performance. The center of buoyancy (CB) and center of mass (CM) were measured using reaction board principles. Performance was evaluated as the time needed to complete the middle 13.7 m of a 22.9-m sprint for kicking and swimming trials. Nineteen female swimmers (mean ±

Social factors influencing female swimming performance

Journal of Biosocial Science, 1976
The differences between male and female performance in free style swimming events are compared. It is found that the differences between male and female performance, as measured by world records, is declining in all events and declining most rapidly in those events in which the differences at the present time are largest.

Acute Apnea Swimming

Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 2014
Competitive swimmers regularly perform apnea series with or without fins as part of their training, but the ergogenic and metabolic repercussions of acute and chronic apnea have not been examined. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the cardiovascular, lactate, arterial oxygen saturation and hormonal responses to acute apnea in relation to performance ...

The biomechanical structure of swim start performance

Sports Biomechanics, 2016
The aim of this study was to analyse the significance of various biomechanical parameters in swim start performance for the grab and track start techniques. To do so, structural equation models were analysed, incorporating measurements for the take-off phase, flight phase and entry phase.

Aerobic and Anaerobic Performances in Tethered Swimming

International Journal of Sports Medicine, 2013
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the critical force (CritF) and anaerobic impulse capacity (AIC) - estimated by tethered swimming - reflect the aerobic and anaerobic performance of swimmers. 12 swimmers performed incremental test in tethered swimming to determine lactate anaerobic threshold (AnTLAC), maximal oxygen uptake ( ˙VO2MAX)

Intracyclic Variation of Force and Swimming Performance

International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance, 2018
Context:In front-crawl swimming, the upper limbs perform alternating movements with the aim of achieving a continuous application of force in the water, leading to lower intracyclic velocity variation (dv). This parameter has been identified as a crucial criterion for swimmers’ evaluation.Purpose:To examine the assessment of intracyclic force variation
