Inter rater reliability of practical assessment criteria for aquatic literacy in children
Evolution of documents related to strength training research on competitive swimmers
Background: The purpose of this study is to conduct a bibliometric and scoping review to map the evolution of scientific literature on strength training in competitive swimmers. Methods: Web of Science database was used considering the time frame between 1980 and 2024. The following terms were used to search documents: "swimmers", "strength", and "training". A total of 460 documents were included for statistical analysis. Results: Until 2000, few…
Association between elite swimmers' force production and 100 m front crawl inter-lap pacing and kinematics
The present study aimed to analyse the associations between force production and 100 m front crawl inter-lap pacing and kinematics. Eleven elite male swimmers performed a 100 m front crawl maximal effort to collect 50 m lap time (T50, s) and velocity (v, m·s−1) for pacing, stroke rate (SR), stroke length (SL) and stroke index (SI) as kinematic variables. A 30 s tethered effort allowed to determine the peak (Fpeak) and mean force (Fmean) as force …
The Acute Effects of a Swimming Session on the Shoulder Rotators Strength and Balance of Age Group Swimmers
The purpose of this study was to analyze the acute effects of a standardized water training session on the shoulder rotators strength and balance in age group swimmers, in order to understand whether a muscle-strengthening workout immediately after the water training is appropriate. A repeated measures design was implemented with two measurements performed before and after a standardized swim session. 127 participants were assembled in male ( n =…
Modelling the 200 m Front-Crawl Performance Predictors at the Winter Season Peak
This study aimed to identify potential predictors of 200 m front crawl performance at the winter season peak based on the anthropometric, physiological and biomechanical domains. Twelve expert male swimmers completed an incremental 7 × 200 m step test immediately after their most important winter competitions. Measurements were made of: (i) height, body mass and arm span as anthropometrical parameters; (ii) velocity at a 4 mmol·L -1 lactate conce…
Perceived and Real Aquatic Competence in Children from 6 to 10 Years Old
This study aimed to analyze the relationship between perceived aquatic competence (PAC) and real aquatic competence (RAC) in 6 to 10 year old children in skills identified as relevant for surviving an aquatic accident. The study sample consisted of 105 children (8.2 + 1.3 years old). Two age groups were examined separately [G1, 6 to 7 years (n = 53); G2, 8 to 10 years (n = 52)]. Children's aquatic competence was evaluated twice for skills linked …
Kinetic Analysis of Water Fitness Exercises
The evaluation of propulsive forces in water allows the selection of the most appropriate strategies to develop strength during water fitness sessions. The aim of this study was threefold: (i) to analyze the rate of force production; (ii) to analyze the rate of force variation; and (iii) to compare limbs' symmetry in two water fitness exercises. Twenty-two young health subjects (age: 21.23 ± 1.51 years old, body mass: 67.04 ± 9.31 kg, and height:…
