Water covers over 70% of the earth, has varying depths and temperatures and contains
much of the earth's resources. Head-out water immersion (HOWI) or submersion at various …

The goal of this research was to review the experimental studies that have analyzed the
influence of “high-speed swimsuits” on sports performance up to the appearance of the …

Although respiratory muscle functions can influence swimming performance, respiratory
muscle training (RMT) is not routinely used for improving fin-swimmers performance. The …

The passive drag (Dp) during swimming is affected by the swimmer's morphology, body
density and body position. We evaluated the relative contribution of morphology, body …

The purpose of this study was to investigate differences in Froude efficiency (η F) and active
drag (DA) between front crawl and backstroke at the same speed. η F was investigated by …

reduction using full-body swimsuits: the role of body position. J Strength Cond Res 28 (11) …

Using theoretical principles, the components of drag (friction DF, pressure D PR and wave
DW) of a single-seat kayak were analysed. The purpose was to examine the effect of …

We focus here on the impact of material science in swimming by measuring the impact of the
three successive generations of swimsuits on human performance and estimate the …

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the head position on passive drag with a
towing-line experiment in a swimming pool. The tests were performed on ten male …

The aim of this thesis was to identify ways in which the velocity of a track cyclist could be
increased, primarily through the reduction of aerodynamic drag, and to determine which …
