Description

Most of the approaches available for technical evaluation of swimmers are very expensive and time consuming. Thus, one of the most important goals to achieve in swimming research should be to get fast and interactive results from the evaluation process. The purpose of this research was to compare me real-time velocimetric results obtained from a cable velocimeter with those extracted from computerised videogrametry.
