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 …

The prominence of undulatory underwater swimming (UUS) has been clearly observed
during recent international events. Improvement of this phase is important for overall …

Dietary nitrate (NO3−) supplementation has been evidenced to induce an ergogenic effect in
endurance and sprint-type exercise, which may be underpinned by enhanced muscle …

This study aimed to 1) examine the associations between two swim-specific measures of
anaerobic performance and dry-land strength-based variables; 2) study the association …

Evaluating force–velocity characteristics on dry-land is of the utmost importance in
swimming, because higher levels of these bio-motor abilities positively affect in-water …

A great number of studies focusing on the effects of dry-land resistance training interventions
on swimming performance remain inconclusive. It is suggested that transferability of dry-land …

The effects of IT and RICE treatment on arm muscle performance in overhead athletes with
elbow pain (EP) have been partially validated. However, there is a lack of research evidence …

Purpose: To assess the effects of periodized versus nonperiodized dry-land strength training
(DLST) on indices of swimming performance in well-trained adolescent swimmers. Methods …

Recent research has elucidated the effects of strength training on climbing performance.
Although local muscular endurance training of the upper-limbs and finger flexors is …

Background: Beetroot juice is a sport supplement with a high level of evidence on the
physical performance enhancement. However, in swimming, there is no clear data about the …
