Heads Up Girls!” a training intervention to improve scanning behavior in youth female football
Background In football, visual exploration and scanning are crucial to make players aware of their teammates’ and their opponents’ positions, thus improving their decision-making. However, specific recommendations on systematic training methods to improve scanning behavior are limited. Therefore, this study investigated the effects of a five-week scanning-focused training intervention on scanning behavior in U19 female football players. Methods A…
Stroke rate–stroke length dynamics in elite freestyle swimming
Objectives To analyse stroke rate (SR) and stroke length (SL) combinations among elite swimmers to better understand stroke strategies across all race distances of freestyle events. Design We analysed SR and SL data from 324 male and female swimmers competing in all individual freestyle events (50 m to 1,500 m) at the 2019 European Short-Course Championships using video-based kinematic analysis. Methods Two-dimensional kernel density estimation (…
The influence of tactical positioning on performance in world-championship freestyle swimming
PurposeThis study examined tactical positioning and pacing in short-distance (100 m), middle-distance (200 m, 400 m) and long-distance (800 m, 1,500 m) freestyle events, focusing on the influence of race distance, competition round (HEAT vs. FINAL), and sex.MethodsRace data from multiple World Championships (2013-2023) were analyzed. Spearman's rank correlations (ρ) were calculated to examine rank stability across race distances, competition roun…
Quantity of within-sport distance variety – what can pool swimmers and track runners learn from each other
Objective To determine the relationship between success at peak performance age and quantity of within-sport distance variety and compare the dose-time-effect between swimming and track running by determining probability of becoming an international-class female athlete based on the number of different race distances the athletes compete in each year throughout their development process. Methods Race times of female Tier 2 to Tier 5 freestyle poo…
Longitudinal performance trajectories of young female sprint runners
LMM provided longitudinal sport performance data, enabling the establishment of performance benchmarking and prediction of future performance. The software tool can assist coaches in setting realistic training goals and identifying promising athletes
Sprinting to the top
ObjectivesTo compare performance progression and variety in race distances of comparable lengths (timewise) between pool swimming and track running. Quality of within-sport variety was determined as the performance differences between individual athletes' main and secondary race distances across (top-) elite and (highly-) trained swimmers and runners.MethodsA total of 3,827,947 race times were used to calculate performance points (race times rela…
Short-course performance variation across all race sections
Introduction To investigate performance variation in all race sections, i.e., start, clean swimming, and turns, of elite short-course races for all swimming strokes and to determine the effect of performance variation on race results. Methods Comparing finalists and non-qualified swimmers, a total of 256 races of male swimmers ( n = 128, age: 23.3 ± 3.1, FINA points: 876 ± 38) competing in the European short-course swimming championships were ana…
Differences in Race Characteristics between World-Class Individual-Medley and Stroke-Specialist Swimmers
The purpose of the present study was to investigate differences between world-class individual medley (IM) swimmers and stroke-specialists using race analyses. A total of eighty 200 m races (8 finalists × 2 sexes × 5 events) at the 2021 European long-course swimming championships were analysed. Eight digital video cameras recorded the races, and the video footage was manually analysed to obtain underwater distance, underwater time, and underwater…
Turn Performance Variation in European Elite Short-Course Swimmers
Turn performances are important success factors for short-course races, and more consistent turn times may distinguish between higher and lower-ranked swimmers. Therefore, this study aimed to determine coefficients of variation (CV) and performance progressions (∆%) of turn performances. The eight finalists and eight fastest swimmers from the heats that did not qualify for the semi-finals, i.e., from 17th to 24th place, of the 100, 200, 400, and …
Performance Development of European Swimmers Across the Olympic Cycle
The aims of the study were to (1) quantify the performance development of race times and key performance indicators of European swimmers across the last Olympic cycle (from 2016 to 2021) and (2) provide reference values for long-course swimming pool events for both sexes from 50 m to 1,500 m including butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle, and individual medley. Individual events from the 2016 and 2021 European swimming championships wer…
Key Performance Indicators Related to Strength, Endurance, Flexibility, Anthropometrics, and Swimming Performance for Competitive Aquatic Lifesaving
The aim of the study was to investigate key performance indicators for the individual pool-based disciplines of competitive lifesaving regarding strength, flexibility, sprint and endurance swimming performance, anthropometric characteristics, and technical skills specific to competitive lifesaving. Data were collected from Swiss national team members (seven males: age 19 ± 2 yrs, body mass 77 ± 11 kg, body height 177 ± 7 cm and seven females age …
Competition-Based Success Factors During the Talent Pathway of Elite Male Swimmers
Marginal differences in race results between top swimmers have evoked the interest in competition-based success factors of long-term athlete development. To identify novel factors for the multi-dimensional model of talent development, the aim of the study was to investigate annual variation in competition performance (ACV), number of races per year, and age. Therefore, 45,398 race results of all male participants (n = 353) competing in individual…
