Journal Article
Psycharakis, S., & Sanders, R. (2008)
Shoulder and hip roll changes during 200-m front crawl swimming. Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, 40, 2129-2136. https://doi.org/10.1249/MSS.0b013e31818160bc
Purpose: To determine accurately the magnitude and changes in shoulder roll (SR) and hip roll (HR) throughout a 200m maximum front crawl swim and whether SR and HR were associ...
Validity of the use of a fixed point for intracycle velocity calculations in swimming
Journal Article
Psycharakis, S. G., & Sanders, R. H. (2009)
Validity of the use of a fixed point for intracycle velocity calculations in swimming. Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport, 12(2), 262-265. doi:10.1016/j.jsams.2007.11.008
The intracycle velocity (V) of a fixed point on a swimmer’s body, usually the hip, is frequently calculated as a direct indication of the intracycle V of the centre of mass (C...
