Swimming coaches have prescribed dry-land training programs over the years to improve
the overall swimming performance (starts, clean swimming, turns and finish). The main aim …

Background Youth swimming performance is determined by several physiological,
biomechanical and anthropometric characteristics. This review aimed to identify physical …

The paper addresses relations between the characteristics of body composition in
international sprint swimmers and sprint performance. The research included 82 swimmers …

This study sought to analyze the relationship between regional body composition, swimming
performance, and aerobic and force profile determined through tethered swimming in well …

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

Background: Some swimmers reach high performance level at a relatively young age. The
purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between adolescent female swimmers' …

Free-swimming performance depends strongly on the ability to develop propulsive force and
minimise resistive drag. Therefore, estimating resistive drag (passive or active) may be …

Purpose: The study aimed to (1) accurately examine longitudinal relationships between
maturity status and both technical skill indices and performance in Australian male (N= 64) …

This study analyzes the effect of the morphological characteristics of swimmers on passive
drag and determines whether the female or male body type is more efficient for gliding. As a …

Aims.—Strength training is not usually an important aspect of the training programme for
swimmers. Instead, more emphasis is placed on traditional swimming training, which …
