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 aim of this study was to review the literature on front crawl swimming biomechanics,
focusing on propulsive and resistive forces at different swimming velocities. Recent studies …

This study aimed to assess kinematic and kinetic changes in front crawl with various stroke
frequency (SF) conditions to investigate why swimming velocity (SV) does not increase …

Purpose: To study the relationship between tethered swimming in a flume at different speeds
and swimming performance. Methods: Sixteen regional-level swimmers performed 25-, 50 …

The purpose of this study was to compare the in-water force of young competitive swimmers
using tethered swimming and differential pressure sensors. Thirty-one swimmers (16 girls …

Purpose: To explore the association of the load–velocity (LV) relationship variables and
ability to maintain maximal mechanical performance during the prone bench-pull exercise …

The purpose of this study was to establish the relationships between 50 m sprint swimming
performance and variables acquired from a swimming load-velocity profile established by …

Evidence on the role of propulsion compared to drag in swimming, based on experimental
settings, is still lacking. However, higher levels of propulsion seem to lead to faster …

The use of asymmetrical strokes is common in freestyle swimming because of breathing and
strength laterality. In this study, the asymmetrical freestyle swimming performance of a male …

During full tethered swimming no hydrodynamic resistance is generated (since v= 0) and all
the swimmer's propulsive force (FP) is utilized to exert force on the tether (FT= FP). During …
