Human propulsive forces are a key-factor to enhance swimming performance, but there is
scarce knowledge when using direct assessments. The aim of this review was to analyse the …

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

Introduction: This study aimed to: 1) determine swimming velocity based on a set of
anthropometric, kinematic, and kinetic variables, and; 2) understand the stroke frequency …

Intra-and inter-cycle velocity variations are of utmost importance for achieving enhanced
swimming performances. However, intra-cycle events can impact and interfere with the …

Understanding the difference in each upper limb between age groups can provide deeper
insights into swimmers' propulsion. This study aimed to:(1) compare swimming velocity and …

Several constraints, including environmental (eg, aquatic resistance, temperature and
viscosity), organismic (eg, anthropometry, buoyancy) and task-related (eg, imposed swim …

Introduction: In swimming, it is necessary to understand and identify the main factors that are
important to reduce active drag and, consequently, improve the performance of swimmers …

The aims of this study were to:(1) verify the sex effect;(2) assess upper limb asymmetry in
anthropometrics and propulsive force variables; and (3) identify the main determinants of …

Consistent differences between males and females have been shown in land-based
measurements of anaerobic power and capacity. However, these differences have not been …

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 …
