In this paper a video-based method to automatically track instantaneous velocities of a
swimmer is presented. Single cameras were used to follow a marker (LED) attached to the …

Research on competitive swim start safety has focused on starts involving a dive from above
the water surface. The purpose of this study was to determine the depths, speeds, and …

To expand upon recent findings showing that competitive swimmers complete significantly
shallower racing starts in shallower pools, 12 'more experienced'and 13 'less experienced' …

Recent research suggests that swimmers perform deeper starts in deeper water (Blitvich,
McElroy, Blanksby, Clothier, & Pearson, 2000; Cornett, White, Wright, Willmott, & Stager …

The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not starting block height has an effect
on the head depth and head speed of competitive racing starts. Eleven experienced …

To expand upon previous studies showing inexperienced high school swimmers can
complete significantly shallower racing starts when asked to start “shallow,” 42 age group …

It could be argued that the only component of competitive swimming that is associated with
any appreciable risk to the swimmer is the execution of the racing start from a starting block …

The aim of the study was to analyse swim start techniques and to find the relationship
between its effectiveness and the somatic build of young swimmers. In 12 girls and 11 boys …

The research on the competitive swim start primarily consists of group mean and maximum
depths with little attention given to individual variability. The purpose of this study was to …

The purpose of this study was to gain a better understanding of coaches' perceptions
