The aim of this paper is to present a comparison of video-and sensor-based studies of
swimming performance. The video-based approach is reviewed and contrasted to the newer …

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

To understand the dynamic patterns of behaviours and interactions between athletes that
characterize successful performance in different sports is an important challenge for all sport …

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 …

In freestyle swimming the arm action is routinely quantified by stroke count and rate, yet no
method is currently available for quantifying kick. In this study, we assessed the validity and …

The use of technology in sports performance analysis is a rapidly increasing practise. Tools
for analysis aim to provide useful information to supplement coach knowledge and improve …

This study aims to profile biomechanical abilities during sprint front crawl by identifying
technical stroke characteristics, in light of performance level. Ninety-one recreational to …

The purpose of this study was the implementation of a new analysis system and its
validation. The ADES (Active Drag Evaluation System) makes it possible to determine …

This thesis examined the benefits of physiological and performance testing of elite
swimmers. The study considered the following research questions: the degree to which …

The aim of this study is to increase the depth of data available to swimming coaches in order
to allow them to make more informed coaching decisions for their athletes in front crawl …
