The purpose of this study was to examine the kinematic and kinetic differences of the sprint start and first two steps between faster and slower high-level sprinters. Twelve male sprinters were dichotomized according to personal best 60-... more
BACKGROUND: The capacity to produce force should be promoted especially for the fastest swimming events. AIM: This study aimed to analyze the effects of different test periods in mean, maximal and coefficient of force variation and to... more
Sousa et al. (Open Sports Sci J, 3: 22 – 24, 2010) showed that different time averaging intervals lead to distinct VO2 values in a maximal 200m front crawl effort, evidencing higher VO2 values for breath-by-breath sampling, and... more

We compared the hydrodynamic characteristics and pull-out strategies of four backstroke-to-breaststroke turning techniques in young swimmers. Eighteen 11 and 12-year-old swimmers participated in a 4 week intervention program including 16... more
The current study investigated body roll amplitude and timing of its peak in backstroke and compared them with front crawl swimming. Nineteen anatomical landmarks were digitised using 80 swimming trial videos (ten swimmers × two... more
The present study aimed to examine how high- and low-speed swimmers organise biomechanical, energetic and coordinative factors throughout extreme intensity swim. Sixteen swimmers (eight high- and eight low-speed) performed, in free... more
The purpose of this study was to evaluate muscle fatigue in upper and lower limbs as well as trunk muscles during a 200 m all-out front crawl effort. Surface electromyogram was collected from the flexor carpi radialis, biceps brachii,... more
The purpose of this study was to analyse the relationship between the intracyclic speed fluctuations (dv) of the center of mass (CM), in the x, y, z axes, and the Index of Coordination (IdC), as well as to assess the general stroking... more
