Post activation potentiation in propulsive force after specific swimming strength training
Post-activation potentiation (PAP) is a short-term increase in force that occurs immediately after performing a high-intensity activity. Although it has been largely studied in dry-land conditions, there are only few studies that have evaluated it in swimming. Results: none of the parameters we analyzed improved after the proposed training set, possibly due to the short [...]
Effect of hand paddles and parachute on the index of coordination of competitive crawl strokers
In swimming, paddles and parachutes are commonly used to increase specific propulsive force. But do these implements influence the way the athletes coordinate front-crawl swimming? This was the main question of this study! We concluded that athletes tend to increase propulsive continuity whenever an implement is used. For those who have front-crawl as main stroke [...]
Effect of hand paddles and parachute on butterfly coordination
But what about in the butterfly? Do paddles and parachute influence swimming coordination? We repeated the front-crawl study, but now testing butterfly experts. We concluded that the paddles don't change a lot, but it is definitely not true for parachute, nor when paddles and parachutes are used together... Read Article
A correlational analysis of tethered swiming swim sprint performance and dry land power assessments
What exercises do you should use in dry-land strength training ? To know a little more about this issue, we tested the relationship among in-water propulsive force, dry-land strength and power abilities and swimming performance in 50, 100 and 200m freestyle. Lower limbs' strength and power is related to in-water force and swimming performance (50m). Why is [...]
