The biophysical determinants related to swimming performance are one of the most
attractive topics within swimming science. The aim of this paper was to do an update of the …

Intracycle velocity variation is a swimming relevant research topic, focusing on
understanding the interaction between hydrodynamic propulsive and drag forces. We have …

The purpose of the present study was to determine the relative contribution of the aerobic
(Aer), anaerobic lactic (AnL) and alactic (AnAl) energy sources during each of the four laps …

The purpose of this study was to measure and compare the total energy expenditure of the
four competitive swimming strokes. Twenty-six swimmers of international level were …

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the intra-cycle variation
of the horizontal velocity of displacement (d V) and the energy cost (EC) in butterfly stroke …

The effects of skill level on index of arm coordination (IdC), mechanical power output (Pd),
and swim efficiency were studied in front crawlers swimming at different speeds. Seven …

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 …

The hip intracyclic velocity variability and the index of coordination in front crawl swimming
were examined in relation to performance level. 22 swimmers were assigned to either an …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to determine kinematic and energetic differences
between front crawl and backstroke performed at the same aerobic speeds. Methods Ten …

In this study, we assessed arm coordination in the backstroke over increasing speeds by
adapting the index of coordination originally used in the front crawl. Fourteen elite male …
