  • Improving tumble turn performance in swimming—the impact of wall contact time and tuck index

    Open AccessSina David, Tamara Grove et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Sports and Active…2022

    Race time can be shortened by improving turn performance in competitive swimming, but this requires insight into the optimal turn technique. The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of Wall Contact Time (WCT) and Tuck Index on tumble turn performance and their interrelations by experimentally manipulating both variables, which has not been done in previous research. Eighteen Dutch national level swimmers (FINA points 552 ± 122) perf…

  • Implications of the choice of distance-based measures in assessing and investigating tumble turn performance

    Open AccessPaul Koster, Wouter Arnoldus et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Sports and Active…2022

    Although the tumble turn in swimming has been studied extensively, no consensus exists about which measure is best suited to capture its performance. The aim of this study was to better understand the implications of choosing a particular distance-based performance measure for assessing and investigating tumble turn performance in freestyle swimming. To this end, a large set of retrospective turn data consisting of 2,813 turns performed by 160 sw…

  • A practical method to estimate the benefits of improved road network reliability

    Open AccessEric Kroes, Paul Koster et al.ARTICLETransportation2018

    This paper develops and applies a practical method to estimate the benefits of improved reliability of road networks. We present a general methodology to estimate the scheduling costs due to travel time variability for car travel. In contrast to existing practical methods, we explicitly consider the effect of travel time variability on departure time choices. We focus on situations when only mean delays are known, which is typically the case when…
