This review updates the swim-start state of the art from a biomechanical standpoint. We
review the contribution of the swim-start to overall swimming performance, the effects of …

In a biophysical approach to the study of swimming performance (blending biomechanics
and bioenergetics), inter-limb coordination is typically considered and analysed to improve …

Cuenca-Fernández, F, López-Contreras, G, and Arellano, R. Effect on swimming start
performance of two types of activation protocols: Lunge and YoYo squat. J Strength Cond …

This study aimed to assess the effects of post-activation potentiation in the strength related
variables of a kick start. Thirteen competitive swimmers performed three kick starts after a …

In competitive swimming, the start has been strongly linked to overall performance (Cossor &
Mason, 2001), The swimming start can contribute between 0.8-26.1% of total race time …

The introduction of the OMEGA OSB11 starting blocks (Swiss Timing, Corgémont,
Switzerland) which feature an adjustable inclined plate built into the rear of the platform …

Motor control in swimming can be analyzed using low-and high-order parameters of
behavior. Low-order parameters generally refer to the superficial aspects of movement (ie …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between block time and final
performance for each sex in 50-m and 100-m individual freestyle, distinguishing between …

This study aimed to examine the correlation of different dry land strength and power tests
with swimming start performance. Twenty international level female swimmers (age 15.3±1.6 …

The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between different variables
measured with a force plate during the swimming start push‐off phase and start performance …
