The aim of this study was to develop a structural equation model for underwater gliding distance based on its determinant variables, in order to confirm whether it is an informative test of young swimmers’ hydrodynamic profile. Methods: Twenty-three subjects (twelve boys and eleven girls with a mean age of 13.61 ± 0.83 years old) were evaluated. The following were determined: (i) the underwater gliding distance...
The aim of this study was to compute and validate trunk transverse surface area (TTSA) estimation equations to be used assessing the swimmer’s drag force according to competitive level by gender. One group of 130 swimmers (54 females and 76 males) was used to compute the TTSA estimation equations and another group of 132 swimmers (56 females and 76 males) were used for its validations. Swimmers were photographe...
The purpose of this study was to track and compare the changes of performance, energetic and biomechanical profiles of international (Int) and national (Nat) level swimmers during a season. Ten Portuguese male swimmers (four Int and six Nat level subjects) were evaluated on three different time periods (TP1, TP2, TP3) of the 2009–2010 season. Swimming performance was assessed based on official time’s lists of t...
The aim was to assess the interaction between kinematics and neuromuscular responses of subjects performing the rowing exercise with barbell in group fitness classes with different external loads and cadences. Fifteen male subjects performed nine sets of nine repetitions of the selected exercise. Sets were composed by a pair wise combination of different external loads (5, 10 and 20 [kg]) and cadences (1, 2 and...
