Swimming analysts aid coaches and athletes in the decision-making by providing evidence-
based recommendations. The aim of this narrative review was to report the best practices of …

Introduction: In swimming, it is necessary to understand and identify the main factors that are
important to reduce active drag and, consequently, improve the performance of swimmers …

In swimming, the underwater phase after the start and turn comprises gliding and dolphin
kicking, with the latter also known as underwater undulatory swimming (UUS). Swimming …

Turn performances are important success factors for short-course races, and more
consistent turn times may distinguish between higher and lower-ranked swimmers …

Purpose: The present study aimed to establish differences in load–velocity profiling, active
drag (AD), and drag coefficient (Cd) between 3 age groups of female swimmers. Methods …

Introduction The aim of this study was to explore which key somatic features are common to
four swim strokes and medley, and specifically to identify which characteristics benefit only …

Background Anthropometric characteristics are important factors that affect swimming
performance. The aim of this study is to build a discriminant model using anthropometric …

Curvatures of the body can disrupt fluid flow and affect hydrodynamic resistance. The
purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of a feedback intervention on glide …

The purpose of this study was to understand the change in active drag coefficient (C DA)
over successive stroke cycles in front-crawl and the relationship between swimming speed …

We attempted to find a subset model that would allow robust prediction of a swimmer's
vertical body position during front crawl with fewer markers, which can reduce extra drag …
