Swimming is a time-based sport and hence strongly dependent from velocity. Most studies
about swimming refer to velocity as discrete variable, ie, 0-D (no time dimension). However …

The current study investigated body roll amplitude and timing of its peak in backstroke and
compared them with front crawl swimming. Nineteen anatomical landmarks were digitised …

The aim of this study was to determine the influence of torso morphology on maximum
instantaneous hydrodynamic resistance in front crawl swimming. Outlines of the torso in the …

Backstroke has been thoroughly investigated in the context of sports science. However, we
have no knowledge about the nationalities of the fastest age group backstroke swimmers …

Objectives Swimming intra-cycle velocity fluctuation has often been assessed using the
coefficient of variation, which requires a mathematical assumption of a positive linear …

TO THE EDITOR: Recently, Muniz-Pardos et al.(1) raised a discussion about technological
advancement in the sports context. Just as the introduction of advanced footwear changed …

The purpose of the present study was to investigate differences between front crawl and
backstroke swimming in hydrodynamic (produced by swimmers) and buoyant torque around …

The aim of our study was to develop a methodology that uses the metronome to constrain
the swimmers' stroke rate with the aim to monitor changes in stroke length (SL) during two …

Research in front crawl (FC) swimming has revealed that: a) a change of pace affects stroke
kinematics, b) asymmetries in some variables may affect performance and, c) the arms are …

We aimed to use the bookmark method to establish minimum standards for selecting
intensive care flight paramedics. Two subject matter expert (SME) focus groups reviewed …
