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

Backstroke swimming, a cyclic and continuous movement, displays a repeating structure
due to the repeated action of the limb, presenting similar (but not identical) cycles. Some …

The aim of this study was to compare the assessment of swimming speed processed as a
discrete variable and as a continuous variable in young swimmers. One-hundred and twenty …

Evidence on the role of propulsion compared to drag in swimming, based on experimental
settings, is still lacking. However, higher levels of propulsion seem to lead to faster …

The aim of this study was to compare the swimming velocity in front-crawl between age-
group swimmers using discrete variables against Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM). The …

Asymmetries in swimming can be the result of poor technique or coordination between
limbs, reducing the ability to produce propulsive force and increasing resistive drag …

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

Abstract Featured Application: The proposed moving camera method allows for 2D
kinematical swimming analysis with no field of view limitation and with better accuracy and …

Breaststroke and butterfly are complex swimming techniques requiring refined motor skills to
perform successfully, with coordinated and consistent interaction between propulsive and …

The classical kinematic variables in swimming are based on the calculation of mean values.
Stroke steadiness determines the relationship between the duration of all consecutive …
