Energetics of swimming: a historical perspective

P Zamparo, C Capelli, D Pendergast - European journal of applied …, 2011 - Springer
The energy cost to swim a unit distance (C sw) is given by the ratio ̇ E/v where ̇ E is the
net metabolic power and v is the swimming speed. The contribution of the aerobic and …

Energetics of swimming at maximal speeds in humans

C Capelli, DR Pendergast, B Termin - European journal of applied …, 1998 - Springer
The energy cost per unit of distance (C s, kilojoules per metre) of the front-crawl, back, breast
