The energy expended to transport the body over a given distance (C, the energy cost)
increases with speed both on land and in water. At any given speed, C is lower on land (eg …

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 …

We examined the blood lactate response, in terms of the maximal post-exercise
concentration (Lamax), time to reach Lamax, and maximal lactate accumulation rate …

The COVID-19 pandemic has had severe effects on communities globally, leading to
