Descrição

Time limit at the minimum velocity that elicits maximal oxygen consumption (TLim-v O2max) was studied both in flume (Billat et al., 1996) and in normal swimming conditions (Fernandes et al., 2003). While no studies have been carried out based on other swimming techniques than freestyle, the purpose of this experiment was to characterize, and compare, TLim-v O2max in the four competitive strokes, as well as to observe its relationships with two major performance determinants: O2max and anaerobic threshold (AnT).
