▼ Apesar da propulsão na natação não ser ainda completamente compreendida, as forças propulsivas efetivas podem ser verificadas, por exemplo, por meio do modelo de Sanders ou pelo teste de nado atado. Esse modelo vem sendo aplicado, embora sem ter sido avaliado de forma aprofundada. Assim, o objetivo geral do presente trabalho foi comparar as forças propulsivas efetivas calculadas com o modelo de Sanders e medidas ao longo de um teste de nado atado. Os objetivos específicos foram: revisar os efeitos das condições instáveis na propulsão na natação a partir de estudos que compararam as condições estáveis e instáveis; comparar a força propulsiva efetiva obtida usando duas áreas, a área projetada da mão e a área da superfície da palma da mão; e comparar a frequência de ciclos, a velocidade, a aceleração, o ângulo de ataque e a amplitude de movimento de ambas as mãos entre as condições atada e livre. Para cada objetivo, geral e específico, foi desenvolvido um estudo. Desse modo, o primeiro compreendeu a revisão sistemática, em que uma busca em bases de dados foi realizada, e somente aqueles que atingissem todos os critérios de elegibilidade foram incluídos. Seis trabalhos que compararam condições estáveis e instáveis usando experimentos físicos ou simulações numéricas foram selecionados. Estes verificaram os efeitos nas forças propulsivas de um ou mais fatores que caracterizam uma condição como instável. Logo, mais pesquisas são necessárias para entender o efeito de cada fator, assim como os efeitos da combinação dos fatores na propulsão. Para o segundo estudo, 13 nadadores executaram um teste de esforço máximo de 30 segundos realizando palmateio, enquanto atados à parede da piscina. A partir dos dados cinemáticos obtidos pela técnica de videogrametria, a força propulsiva efetiva foi estimada com o modelo de Sanders utilizando duas áreas de referência: a área projetada da mão e a área da superfície da palma da mão. A força estimada usando a área da superfície da palma da mão foi aproximadamente 21% maior do que a força estimada usando a área projetada. Considerando esse resultado, associado à literatura, recomenda-se usar a área da superfície da palma da mão no cálculo das forças. No terceiro estudo, a amostra e o teste foram os mesmos do anterior, porém a força propulsiva efetiva, além de ser calculada com o modelo de Sanders usando a área da superfície da palma da mão, também foi medida utilizando uma célula de carga ao longo do teste. Os resultados indicaram que o modelo de Sanders não é adequado para estimar as forças propulsivas, uma vez que a força medida foi 807,7% maior do que a força calculada. Para o último estudo, a amostra foi composta por oito nadadores que executaram o mesmo teste já descrito e um teste de esforço máximo de 25 metros realizando palmateio. Foi notado que há diferenças importantes na velocidade da mão e na amplitude de movimento da mão na direção lateral entre as condições atada e livre e que a condição atada intensifica as assimetrias cinemáticas.

▼ This study applied Robert Quinn’s Competing Values Framework, one of the leading cultural assessment tools, to successful NCAA
swimming and diving teams to identify cultural trends among some of the NCAA’s highest performing teams. Through this framework, teams were assessed to determine if cultural differences arose between the three NCAA divisions, if perennially successful teams differed culturally from those who were not, and if any one cultural element correlated with NCAA Championship placement. Notably, there were significant differences between Division I and III programs, where Division I programs reported higher “collaboration” scores, while Division III reported higher “control” scores. Additionally, programs that averaged a Top 15 NCAA finish over a 5-year span placed significantly more emphasis on competition results than those that did not. Finally, an emphasis on competition correlated with a
performance boost in Division I, while higher collaboration correlated with a
performance decrease in Division III.

▼ Factors that affect
swimming performance in fish can also affect fitness. I tested the effects of time of day, season and turbidity on
swimming performance in black crappie Pomoxis nigromaculatus and white crappie Pomoxis annularis. These closely related fish co-occur and their relative abundance is thought to be governed by the levels of turbidity in the form of suspended sediments. Black crappie predominate in clear bodies of water and exhibited significantly greater critical
swimming speeds in clear water than did white crappie during spring days and winter nights. A significant reduction in critical
swimming speed was observed in black crappie as turbidity increased. White crappie predominate in turbid bodies of water and exhibited no significant reduction in critical
swimming speed in relation to increasing turbidity. Both species displayed a significant increase in oxygen consumption in response to elevated turbidity. There were no differences in oxygen consumption rates between the two species within any of the four seasons or at the three levels of turbidity tested.

▼ Artistic
swimming (AS) is a unique sport which is characterized by prolonged and repeated bouts of apnea, often while performing vigorous movements. AS made its Olympic debut in 1984 and has changed considerably since then. The demands, duration, and number of teammates competing at one time have all changed over the years. In addition to these changes male athletes have been permitted to compete internationally in mixed doubles since 2015 [1], however this thesis will focus solely on the physiological responses of female AS athletes. Despite AS making its Olympic debut 35 years ago it is a sport poorly represented by the literature. To date no two studies have utilized the same methodology, which makes comparisons between studies challenging. This leaves limited research available to examine the physiological responses present during an AS routine.

▼ Performance when gliding in the streamlined position depends on a swimmer’s morphological characteristics, body orientation and water characteristics. The purpose of this thesis was twofold. First to identify and assess the effect of controllable factors that contribute to glide performance and second to form the foundations of an improved approach of simulating the fluid flow around the swimmers’ body. To address the purposes of the thesis four investigations were conducted. Study 1. The effect of the head position on glide performance was investigated. When the high, medium and low head positions were compared, it was found that swimmers experience significantly greater resistance and decelerate faster when they adopt a high head position. It was also found that there is no significant difference between the medium and low head position indicating for the first time that swimmers can choose any of the positions according to their natural tendency. Study 2. The second study examined the effect of gliding depth on gliding performance. A range of depths was investigated ranging from 0.8 m to 0.2 m from the water surface. The results demonstrated significantly higher glide factor values for glides at a greater depth when compared to glides closer to the water surface highlighting the retarding effect of wave drag when gliding close to the surface. The optimum gliding performance was reported for glides at 0.8 m from the surface. Study 3. The third study investigated the effect of full body swimsuits on glide performance. According to the findings, it is demonstrated for the first time that the improved gliding performance when wearing full body swimsuits is linked to changes in swimmers’ morphology due to compression. Study 4. In the fourth study the magnitude of resistive forces applied on a swimmer’s body when gliding underwater was assessed with the use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and the LES approach. The results showed a close match between the glide factor values of the experimental and the computational findings demonstrating the effectiveness of the CFD method when the LES approach is employed.

▼ Características antropométricas, biomecânicas e fisiológicas são considerados fatores determinantes do desempenho em natação. A prova de 200 m nado livre apresenta condições energéticas singulares que oferecem interessantes desafios para nadadores, treinadores e cientistas do esporte. Os objetivos deste estudo foram identificar a importância de cada fator relacionado ao desempenho na prova de 200 m nado livre, e suas interrelações. Foram voluntários neste estudo 12 nadadores do sexo masculino (idade: 18,3 ± 2,9 anos; estatura: 174,3 ± 5,8 cm; envergadura: 181,1 ± 7,5 cm; massa corporal total: 66,4 ± 6,3 kg; somatório de quatro dobras cutâneas: 31,9 ± 8,2 mm), federados e nadando 37 ± 7 km por semana, cujo melhor tempo na prova de 200 m nado livre era 125,2 ± 2,7 s. Além das variáveis antropométricas, foram obtidos, de 200 m nado crawl, executados em piscina de 25 m, sob máxima intensidade, desempenho em s, transformados em valores pontuais (DESP), considerando o recorde mundial da prova como 1000 pontos e variáveis cinemáticas distância média percorrida por ciclo de braçadas (DC), freqüência média de ciclo de braçadas (FCL) e velocidade média de nado (VN), dos oito trechos de 25 m dos 200 m. Variáveis cinemáticas foram obtidas empregando-se um sistema digital para videogramatria. Antes da realização dos 200 m foram identificados o consumo de oxigênio (VO2r) e a concentração de lactato, ambos de repouso ([LAr]). Após os 200 m foram identificados o consumo de oxigênio pós esforço (VO2e), pelo método de retroextrapolação e o pico de concentração de lactato P[LA]. Para identificar os valores de VO2 foi utilizado um analisador de gases portátil e para os valores de [LA] um lactímetro portátil. Dos valores de VO2 e [LA] foram calculados os valores líquidos dos mesmos (VO2l e [LAL] e a energia total (Etot) gasta na realização dos 200 m. A realização de um teste de nado estacionário, de 30 s de duração, possibilitou a identificação do impulso total (IMP) e da taxa de variação do impulso (TIMP), com a utilização de célula de carga de tração. Foram calculados os coeficientes de variação (cv) das variáveis e aplicados testes estatísticos de medidas repetidas, de comparação de médias e modelos de regressão linear múltipla, estes em cinco modelos: antropométrico, cinemático, fisiológico, cinético e geral. O desempenho dos nadadores avaliados foi de 130,2 ± 2,8 s (711,8 ± 29,1 pontos). Respectivamente valores médios de DC, FCL e VN foram: 2,10 ± 0,11 m, 0,69 ± 0,07 Hz e 1,45 ± 0,11 m·s-1. Já valores de VO2l, [LA]L e Etot foram de, respectivamente, 55,5 ± 5,5 ·kg-1·min-1, 11,15 ± 1,17 mmol·l-1 e 67,2 ± 5,5 ml·kg-1·min-1. Valores de IMP e TIMP foram de, respectivamente, 2648,4 N·s e – 25,1 ± 3,7 N. No modelo geral de regressão linear múltipla entraram as variáveis que puderam, de modo significativo, explicar o desempenho nos modelos por grupos de variáveis (DC, cvVN, VO2l e IMP) exceto a envergadura (ENV), que não responde a estímulos de treinamento. O modelo geral conseguiu explicar até 72,2% da variação do DESP, com as variáveis…

▼ Swimming has become an accepted tool in the training programme of race horses. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether fitness indices calculated from a standardized
swimming test were related to the
performance of the horse on the race track. Fifty-two Thoroughbred racehorses (4.6 ± 1.4 years, 50 geldings, 2 stallions), all participating in races at the Hong Kong Jockey Club (HKJC), were used in this study. All horses underwent a standardised
swimming test (SST) consisting of
swimming two laps in an oval shaped
swimming pool (1 lap = ± 60 m). During the
swimming test, heart rate (HR; beats/min) and speed (V; m/s) of the horses were monitored. In addition, of these 52 horses, 22 horses were tested a second time (after 1-21 days), to evaluate the repeatability of the
swimming test and from 18 of these 22 horses, plasma lactate concentrations (LA; mmol/L) were obtained directly after SST. Race
performance of horses was defined as a rating score determined by the HKJC, based on the race
performance. Horses were divided into ' good performers' (placed in 1 to 5 rank at competition in the period 1 month before to 1 month after SST) and ' average performers' (placed at lower rankings). Mean HR during the SST was 178 ± 14 bpm, mean V was 1.06 ± 0.10 m/s and mean LA after the SST was 2.3 ± 1.5 mmol/liter. There was a significant correlation between HR and V (r=0.720, P<0.001, n=52), but HR was not repeatable between tests (r=0.259, P=0.245, n=22). No significant correlation was found between racing
performance and HR, V or LA, so it seems a SST is not suitable to predict the
performance of the horse on the race track. However, in some horses HR during an SST seemed to reach HRs close to the maximum HR during a race and LA reached in some horses values higher values higher than during track work at 50 km/h. Therefore,
swimming might not be such ´mild´ exercise as some trainers expect.

▼ Introdução e Objetivos: considerando a complexidade da natação, o objetivo geral desta dissertação foi investigar o desempenho em 400 m nado crawl (T400), a partir de parâmetros antropométricos, biomecânicos e fisiológicos. Materiais e Métodos: O estudo foi avaliado e aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa da UFRGS. Participaram 14 nadadores competitivos (21,2 ± 4,15 anos de idade) de nível regional e nacional, que foram avaliados em relação à: (i) antropometria e somatotipo; (ii) parâmetros biomecânicos (frequência média de ciclos de braçadas - FB, distância média percorrida pelo corpo a cada ciclo de braçadas - DB, velocidade média de nado - VN; variação intracíclica da velocidade do centro de massa nos três eixos - VIVx, VIVy, VIVz, índice de coordenação - IdC, duração das fases propulsivas e não propulsivas - Fprop e Fnprop, e tempo propulsivo - Tprop); e (iii) parâmetros fisiológicos (consumo de oxigênio – VO2, concentração sanguínea de lactato – [LA], e percepção subjetiva de esforço – PSE). Dados foram obtidos antes, durante (M1, M2, M3 e M4) e após o T400. Parâmetros biomecânicos de nado foram obtidos por cinemetria 3D e método e-zone para cálculo da localização do centro de massa. VO2 foi mensurado respiração por respiração utilizando o ergoespirômetro K5 e esnorquel Aquatrainer (ambos Cosmed). Foi utilizada estatística descritiva e inferencial (comparativa e correlacional). Resultados: (i) nadadores de 400 m possuem somatotipo meso-ectomórfico; (ii) não houve mudanças nos parâmetros biomecânicos ao longo do teste (exceto maior FB no M4); (iii) o VO2 do M1 foi o menor em comparação a M2, M3 e M4, sendo que o maior valor de VO2 (pico: 67,6 ± 8,9 ml·kg-1·min-1) foi identificado nos últimos trechos do T400; após o termino do teste a [LA] foi de 9,03 ± 0,04 mmol.l-1 e PSE de 17,6 ± 1,2 pontos. Entre as variáveis fisiológicas, a [LA] correlacionou-se inversamente com o desempenho (r = -0,61). Conclusão: Nadadores incrementam a FB ao fim do teste, buscando, pelo menos, incrementar a VN. Mesmo que a VN tenha se mantido constante, os maiores valores foram encontrados ao final do teste. Ao mesmo tempo, o consumo de oxigênio incrementou no último quarto do teste, possivelmente de acordo com o aumento da FB.
Introduction and Objectives: considering the swimming complexity, the general objective of this study was to investigate the performance in 400 m front crawl (T400) with anthropometric, biochemical and physiological parameters. Materials and Methods: the Ethics Committee of the UFRGS approved the study. Fourteen competitive swimmers (21.2 ± 4.15 years old) of regional and national level were assessed in relation to: (i) anthropometry and somatotype; (ii) biomechanical parameters (mean rate of stroke cycles - SR, mean stroke length - SL, mean swimming speed - SS; center of mass intracyclic velocity variation in the three axes - VIVx, VIVy, VIVz; index of coordination - IdC, duration of the propulsive and non-propulsive phases - Fprop and Fnprop; and propulsive time - Tprop); and (iii) physiological parameters…

▼ This study sought to identify and articulate the exposure and effect of body pedagogies experienced by three former swimmers that participated in the amateur and elite cultural context of Australian swimming. Through the utilisation of ‘relational analysis’ (Kirk, 1999) and by ‘connecting the dots’ (Klein, 2000), investigation into the body pedagogies of three participants articulates two distinctive time frames – the participants as adolescents and some 10–30 years later, the same three participants as adult women enabling a link to be drawn between the exposure and effect of body pedagogies. Across both time frames, cultural transmission and lived bodily experiences are explored and fore grounded.
The research utilised narrative ethnography and autoethnography as it provided us [myself and the other two participants] with the appropriate space to reveal our knowing and detail our lived experiences. Four important considerations were integral to this research and to the use of narrative ethnography and autoethnography. The first consideration sought to foreground the swimmers’ voice and the body’s voice in the research. Another consideration was to enable the participants to have what I see as ‘meaningful participation’ in the research, positioning them in a genuine (rather than tokenistic) collaborative relationship with me as the researcher. Consideration was also given to the audience, with the intention that the reader would be able to take on and read from the positions and perspectives of the participants. Finally, I wanted the participants to gain some purpose from their involvement, gaining new insight with the intention of achieving ‘order’ in relation to their swimmer and bodily experiences.
A somewhat eclectic body of literature, drawn from various fields in regard to the body, culture, power and control has been utilised as the basis of a framework for understanding the complexities of lived experiences within a sporting culture. The literature review features the work of Foucault (1977) and Evans’ (2004) work on the body together with others (Bain, 1990; Bordo, 1989, 1992, 1993, 1997; Garrett, 2004; Jones, Armour & Potrac, 2002; Johns & Johns, 2000; Kirk & Tinning, 1990; Pillow, 1997; Sparkes, 2004) and is designed to orientate the reader to the issues and questions at the heart of the research reported in this thesis.
When articulating the exposure of body pedagogies, the adolescent bodily experiences within the cultural context of Australian swimming were organised into two distinctive themes – [bodily] perfection which features in Act one of the thesis and performance which is the focus of Act two. The stories reveal body pedagogies occurring through practices within discourses of performance and perfection during the three participants’ adolescence within the cultural context of Australian swimming. Act three explores the bodily experiences of the same three participants, in the present day as adult women, some 10–30 years after they first were exposed to and engaged with body pedagogies as…

▼ In fishes, differences in egg incubation, water temperature, and substrate can have a significant impact on phenotypic development. This is particularly relevant during the first year of life when growth rate peaks and influences an individual’s life history trajectory. In the present study, Lake Sturgeon, Acipenser fulvescens, were reared in different environments for approximately one year. In the first year, sturgeon were reared in 3 temperature regimes (with or without substrate) that mimicked hatchery conditions or river temperature profiles. In the second year, embryos were incubated in MacDonald jars or adhered to substrate and newly hatched larvae were reared in different thermal environments (16, 18 and 20°C) for two weeks during the first month post-hatch. All treatments were then transferred to a common garden set-up where tanks were fed by river water at ambient temperature and natural light cycles. Fish were deprived of food when water temperature reached 1.5°C, then food was re-introduced when water temperature exceeded 2°C, approximately 4.5 months later. Yolksac volumes, body length and mass were assessed during both years. In the first year, there were differences in yolk sac absorption between substrate treatments in the first two weeks post-hatch, and differences in larval length between temperature treatments following the overwintering. In the second year, red muscle fibre area and myonuclear counts were assessed and volitional downward
swimming and forced escape responses were tested. Growth rate in the first three months of life was highest in the 20°C group of fish but converged in all treatments during winter. Growth rate in fish raised in warmer waters during early life once again exceeded cooler water treatments post-winter, suggesting growth phenotype was fixed in early life, showing little phenotypic plasticity, and was temperature dependent. Thus, increased growing temperature during early life history results in development of a fast-growing phenotype post the first winter. Overall, there was an absence of significant differences between results for muscle fibre area and myonuclear counts between incubation and temperature treatments and the presence of significant differences between time points indicating a strong evolutionary pressure to maintain plasticity in muscle structure and
swimming performance.

▼ Copper (Cu) is a component of several aquatic pesticides often used to target noxious algae, but at high concentrations may elicit toxic effects on non-target organisms such as fish. The severity of Cu toxicity varies widely by fish species, Cu concentration, duration of exposure, and water quality. Hypoxia is a widely occurring aquatic stressor that is also a potential side effect of Cu application due to increased oxygen demand from algae decay. Because Cu and hypoxia stress may occur in concert, it is important to understand and quantify their combined effects. Critical
swimming speed (Ucrit) tests are an efficient and non-lethal means of quantifying the acute effects of environmental stressors on a fish's metabolic scope for activity or available energy. The change in
swimming speed (Delta Ucrit) as opposed to raw Ucrit of bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus) was measured in response to Cu and hypoxia stress in an attempt to remove variation in individual
swimming ability. Using a variable speed swim chamber, Delta Ucrit was measured in a 2x3x2 factorial design with Cu concentration (0 and 1 mg Cu/L), duration of Cu exposure (24, 48, and 96 hrs) and dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration (>8 (saturated) and 2 mg O2/L (low)) as fixed factors. Hematocrit and gill sections were also analyzed. A significant, non-additive interaction between [Cu] and [DO] was observed. Duration of Cu exposure did not appear to be a substantial factor. At saturated DO, Delta Ucrit was significantly greater in bluegill exposed to 1mg Cu/L. At low DO, Delta Ucrit was significantly lower in bluegill exposed to 1mg Cu/L. Gill damage and increased hematocrit with exposure to Cu and hypoxia were also observed. Gill damage likely increased gill permeability that may have resulted in ion efflux, causing hemoconcentration by plasma water displacement ultimately resulting in increased cardiac stress. Increased Delta Ucrit at saturated DO may have been due to an antibiotic or limiting nutrient effect coupled with decreased ion efflux via decreased lamellar perfusion. Substantially more variation was left unexplained (31.7% vs. 79.1%) by measuring Delta Ucrit rather than raw Ucrit which resulted in greater statistical resolution.

▼ Twelve species from six different clades of Anolis lizard exhibit a semi-aquatic lifestyle. These unusual species are found only along neotropical streams, and are known to swim, capture aquatic prey, and dive to escape predators. Based on ecomorphology theory, and anoles’ famed predisposition for convergence, we would predict that these anole lineages should have undergone convergent evolution. However, previous morphometric research suggested that semi-aquatic anoles are not convergent. This thesis reinvestigates whether semi-aquatic anoles have convergently evolved using novel morphometric and experimental approaches. I assessed the morphology, swimming speed, and diving performance of semi-aquatic and non-aquatic anole species from throughout the neotropics. My results suggest that semi-aquatic anoles have converged upon similar morphologies, superior swimming performance, and a previously undiscovered potential adaptation for diving: underwater rebreathing. Semi-aquatic anoles show evidence of repeated multidimensional convergence, and, somewhat uniquely for Anolis, provide strong evidence for convergence between mainland and island forms.

▼ Silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) and bighead carp (H. nobilis) are invasive species that have become established in the upper reaches of the Illinois River, and are nearing the connection into Lake Michigan. To prevent the spread of these carp, as well as other fish, carbon dioxide (CO2) is being investigated as a potential nonphysical barrier. However, to date, most research on the effects of CO2 on fish behavior has occurred in static water conditions. Additionally, little is known about how elevated CO2 may affect
swimming performance. Here, we investigate the effects that varying levels of dissolved CO2 will have on fish behavior and
swimming performance in flowing water. Chapter 1 aims to identify threshold levels of CO2 required to elicit significant behavioral responses from the native surrogate species used (bluegill, Lepomis macrochirus, and largemouth bass, Micropterus salmoides). When exposed to a range of CO2 partial pressure (pCO2; < 400 μatm [ambient], 25,000 μatm, 50,000 μatm and 100,000μatm), bluegill showed a significant increase in activity at 25,000 μatm, whereas largemouth bass activity significantly increased at 100,000 μatm. Fish were also exposed to 50,000 μatm pCO2 in five successive bursts to investigate the effects of repeated exposure to CO¬2 on fish behavior. Both species displayed a significant increase in activity during the first exposure, but then successive exposures did not change activity levels relative to baseline (at ambient pCO2). Chapter 2 aims to quantify the effects of elevated CO2 on sustained (aerobic) and burst (anaerobic)
swimming performance in largemouth bass. We found that sustained
swimming performance significantly decreased at 100,000 μatm pCO2 and that burst
swimming was unaffected by CO2. Additionally, ~15% of fish lost equilibrium during both sustained and burst
swimming tests at 50,000 μatm, and nearly 70% of fish lost equilibrium during both sustained and burst
swimming tests at 100,000 μatm, showing that the rate of loss of equilibrium significantly increased as pCO2 increased. These novel findings fill a knowledge gap regarding fish behavior and
performance during exposure to elevated CO2 in flowing water, and also inform the development and deployment strategies of the proposed CO2 fish barriers.

▼ The objectives of this study were to investigate acoustic tag burden in two juvenile salmonid species; rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush), explore the relationship between metabolic rate and
swimming performance in tagged and untagged individuals, and investigate effects of surgery and tag implantation on survival and growth. Laboratory experiments measured tag burden effects in fish sizes (e.g., 9-39 g and 105-159 mm (fork length; LF)) typically stocked by Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (OMNRF) and other natural resource management agencies. The analysis revealed no significant effects of acoustic tagging on survival, growth, oxygen consumption (á¹€O2) (proxy for metabolic rate), and
swimming performance (Ucrit). Rainbow trout á¹€O2 (mass-specific rate of oxygen consumption) increased with time since surgery, and acoustic-tagged rainbow trout had elevated á¹€O2 compared to control fish, but the effect was not significant (p = 0.024). The acoustic-tagged lake trout á¹€O2 were not significantly different from the controls or the other treatments (i.e., PIT, sham, and acoustic-tagged) (p = 0.011). Rainbow trout (i.e., acoustic-tagged and control fish) had a significantly higher Ucrit than lake trout (p < 0.001). Differences in
swimming performance between the species was most likely influenced by water temperature and body size. For both species Ucrit was lower in acoustic-tagged fish but the difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.024). Rainbow trout were housed at ~ 14 °C and lake trout at ~ 11 °C. This study indicates that specific growth rate, oxygen consumption (via respirometry), and
swimming performance (Ucrit) can be used as novel metrics to assess impacts of acoustic tag burden. The results from this acoustic tagging study suggest tag burden up to 6% does not have a significant effect on survival, growth, resting á¹€O2, and
swimming performance (Ucrit) in juvenile rainbow trout and lake trout.

▼ Worldwide, an increasing demand for fish and fisheries products, together with socioeconomic pressure for industry expansion, is placing considerable pressure on wild fish stocks – more than 80% of which are considered by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) to be either maximally- or over-exploited. Adding value to the existing catch and/or improving the sustainability of current wild capture methods may offer a means of providing industry growth while negating the need for increased landings. In particular, the peri-mortem condition of a fish plays an integral role in the condition of the tissues post-mortem and hence in product quality, with harvesting techniques that result in stress or fatigue yielding a lower quality product. An understanding of the physiology of the target species and its response to harvest is therefore essential to implementing targeted improvements in harvesting technologies. For species harvested using trawl-based technologies, this includes knowledge of their exercise physiology, in particular their swimming capacity, since this is a key determinant of the interaction between fish and trawl gears, and hence of the nature and severity of stress experienced and of the condition of fish at landing.
This thesis describes a series of discrete studies relating to the exercise physiology of juvenile snapper, Pagrus auratus, an iconic New Zealand finfish that comprises important recreational and commercial fisheries. In particular, we sought to characterise the capacity of snapper for sustained swimming activity, including how performance may differ between fish of different size or with environmental temperature; to determine the consequences of exhaustive exercise for both subsequent swimming activity, an important determinant of survival in escaping or discarded catch, and for tissue biochemistry, which ultimately determines product quality in harvested fish; to validate the use of laboratory-based simulations for the study of capture-related stress by comparing the response of laboratory-exercised snapper with commercially caught fish; and to determine the tolerance of snapper to environmental hypoxia, and further, the possible consequences of hypoxia for swimming capacity and for recovery in fish retained for subsequent rested-type harvest.
The capacity of snapper for sustained swimming activity was characterised through the use of incremental exercise tests to determine critical swimming speeds, Ucrit. Juvenile snapper (94-107 mm length, 16-157 g mass) demonstrated a strong swimming capacity, with individual fish attaining critical swimming speeds of up to 7.1 body lengths per second (bl s⁻¹). Swimming performance demonstrated an allometric association, with absolute critical speeds increasing with fish size, whilst relative performance favoured smaller fish. The relation was described by the function Ucrit (m s⁻¹) = 0.003412 [length (mm)] + 0.2669. Critical swimming performance also exhibited variation in response to environmental variables. Thermal…

▼ Anthropometric, biomechanic, physiological, are some of the factors which determine swimming performance. Identifying variables that predict performance is one of the most important goals of the scientific community. The aim of the research is to investigate the relationship between the 100 m freestyle swimming performance with a) anthropometric characteristics of swimmers, b) biomechanical factors during swimming of 100 m freestyle, c) physiological responses of swimmers from the 100m freestyle swimming test, and d) variables that determine the pulling force during swimming. The participants of the research were 51 active athletes (n = 30 male, age: 15.08 ± 1.6 years, and n = 21 female, age: 14.52 ± 1.5 years), with competitive experience infreestyle sprint swimming their basic technique. The sample was divided into two age groups from 13 to 15 years and from 16 to 18 years. For the test protocol, data was collected and calculated in three parts: a) Measurement of anthropometric characteristics of the sample, b) 100 meters freestyle swimming with maximum intensity and c) measurement of handgrip strength and tethered swimming of maximum intensity of the same time duration as 100m freestyle swimming performance. In order to determine the relation of the independent variables with the dependent variable, multiple regression analysis was applied. The results of this research showed that we can predict performance in swimmers aged 13-18 with a probability of 96.3% and a standard error of estimate 1.29. The variables with the most predictive ability were thestroke index in the 2nd 50 m, stroke length at the 2nd 50m and the number of strokes in the 2nd 50 m. According to the important criterion of simplicity and practicality of measurements, the above variables canbe easily and quickly measured by researchers and coaches. Performance time in 100m front crawl swimming can be predicted with easy and affordable measurements by swimming coaches.

▼ Swim performance provides a measure of the integrated metabolic costs of sub-lethal exposure to stressors, including Cd. While the impacts to sustained swimming performance in Cd exposed fish have already been characterised, effects to repeat swimming ability have not. This thesis identifies the effects of sub-lethal waterborne Cd exposure on ionoregulatory function, repeat swimming ability, anaerobic metabolism and stress response in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), brown trout (Salmo trutta) and lake whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis).
Repeat swim trials included an initial swim to 85% of the Ucrit of control fish and a recovery period of varying duration, followed by a second, exhaustive, swim trial. Fish were terminally sampled prior to and directly following each of the two swim challenges so as to evaluate fluctuations in metabolic (glycogen, lactate, ATP) and stress (cortisol) parameters as a result of exercise and Cd exposure. All exposures were performed in duplicate with an exposure concentration of 18 nM Cd in moderately hard water (120 mg CaCO3 L-1) and a control group.
Repeat swimming ability was assessed in brown trout and lake whitefish over a 30 day period. Cd exposure resulted in 31% and 38% decreases in secondary swimming ability of each species, with the greatest decreases observed after one week of exposure. This reduction in swimming ability was associated with ionoregulatory disruption and reduced resting ATP stores in the white muscle. As a result, a second study was performed in order to identify the role of the recovery period. Recovery ability was evaluated in rainbow trout following 6 d exposure to 0 or 18 nM Cd. Three recovery periods were employed; 0.5, 1.5 and 6 h so as to identify the effect of Cd exposure on the recovery of metabolic parameters. As anticipated, Cd exposed fish had decreased swimming ability when given a short, 0.5h recovery period. However, a 1.5 hour recovery period resulted in significantly increased swimming performance in Cd exposed fish compared with controls. Improved swimming ability in Cd exposed fish corresponded to increased rates of recovery of muscle and liver glycogen and ATP and reductions in lactate, compared with control fish.

▼ Steady rectilinear
swimming has received considerable attention in aquatic animal locomotion studies. Unsteady
swimming movements, however, represent a large portion of many aquatic animals’ locomotive repertoire and have not been examined extensively. This study incorporates kinematic analyses of routine turning
performance of brief squid
Lolliguncula brevis and dwarf cuttlefish
Sepia bandensis (Chapter 2), 3D velocimetry techniques to examine hydrodynamic turning
performance of
L. brevis (Chapter 3) and kinematic analyses of turning
performance of
L. brevis during predatory attacks on shrimp and fish prey (Chapter 4).
Both
L. brevis and
S. bandensis demonstrated high maneuverability, having the lowest measures of length-specific turning radii reported to date for any aquatic taxa.
Lolliguncula brevis was more agile than
S. bandensis, i.e.,
L. brevis exhibited higher angular velocities during turning. In
L. brevis, jet flows were the principle driver of angular velocity. Asymmetric fin motions played a reduced role in turning, and arm wrapping increased turning
performance to varying degrees depending on the species.
Flow patterns and relative torque contributions from the fins and jet varied with the speed of oncoming flow and orientation of the squid. Four turning categories were identified: (1) short tail-first turns, (2) long tail-first turns, (3) vertically oriented turns and (4) arms-first turns. The jet generally contributed more to turning torque than the fins in short tail-first, long tail-first and vertical turns. However, the fins produced a wider repertoire of flows, including isolated vortex rings, linked vortices and regions of elongated tubular vorticity, and were more important than the jet for turning torque generation during arms-first turns. Both the jet and fins produced torque contributing to roll and pitch, but the relative importance of these flows differed by turning category, with jet roll/pitch stabilization being critical for short tail-first turns and fin roll/pitch stabilization being integral to arms-first and vertical turns.
Squid attack sequences involved three phases: (1) approach, (2) strike and (3) recoil.
Lolliguncula brevis employed different attack strategies for fish and shrimp and turning
performance played a significant role during predatory encounters. The squid exhibited high agility during the approach for both prey types. However, positioning, maneuverability and synchronized fin motions were more important for attacks on shrimp than fish. For attacks on fish, squid favored maximizing linear attack speeds over high maneuverability. Squid controlled their translational velocity and tentacle extension velocity during the strike, and demonstrated considerable rotational control during the recoil phase despite prey escape attempts.
This study represents the most comprehensive quantitative turning
performance study of cephalopods to date and…

▼ This study determined if the parameters of the critical velocity (CV) model could be obtained from estimated performance times at various swimming distances. Fourteen collegiate swimmers provided their actual fastest long-course times (ATcom) at standard distances and inquired completion times (ITcom) at non-standard distances. The total distance (TD) versus ATcom and ITcom relationships were used to estimate the parameters of the CV model. . . . To read the remainder of this abstract, please download this thesis.

▼ A myriad of factors have been shown to affect the
morphology of freshwater fish. Despite the growing base of
ecomorphology literature there is little information available
exploring how these factors relate to body morphology of
Centrarchidae, specifically in the Lepomis genera. Therefore, the
objective of this study was to describe variation in body
morphology of Bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus) across Grand Lake St.
Mary’s watershed area and test for covariation of morphology with
size, sex, and habitat. Geometric morphometric methods were used to
assess variation among individuals and general linear models were
used to test for covariation of morphology with size, sex, and
habitat. Analyses indicated that body size was the strongest driver
of morphological variation followed by sex, habitat, and
interactions - indicating the presence of allometry, sexual
dimorphism, and the potential for habitat induced plasticity.
Broader applications of these findings can link to evolutionary
ecology, management, and conservation.

▼ Swimming performance is primarily judged on the overall time taken for a swimmer to complete a specified distance performing a stroke that complies with current regulations defined by the Fédération Internationale de Natation (FINA), the International governing body of swimming. There are three contributing factors to this overall time; the start, free swimming and turns. The contribution of each of these factors is event dependent; for example, in a 50m event there are no turns, however, the start can be a significant contributor. To improve overall performance each of these components should be optimised in terms of skill and execution. This thesis details the research undertaken towards improving performance-related feedback in swimming. The research included collaboration with British Swimming, the national governing body for swimming in the U.K., to drive the requirements and direction of research. An evaluation of current methods of swimming analysis identified a capability gap in real-time, quantitative feedback. A number of components were developed to produce an integrated system for comprehensive swim performance analysis in all phases of the swim, i.e. starts, free swimming and turns. These components were developed to satisfy two types of stakeholder requirements. Firstly, the measurement requirements, i.e. what does the end user want to measure? Secondly, the process requirements, i.e. how would these measurements be achieved? The components developed in this research worked towards new technologies to facilitate a wider range of measurement parameters using automated methods as well as the application of technologies to facilitate the automation of current techniques. The development of the system is presented in detail and the application of these technologies is presented in case studies for starts, free swimming and turns. It was found that developed components were able to provide useful data indicating levels of performance in all aspects of swimming, i.e. starts, free swimming and turns. For the starts, an integrated solution of vision, force plate technology and a wireless iii node enabled greater insight into overall performance and quantitative measurements of performance to be captured. Force profiles could easily identify differences in swimmer ability or changes in technique. The analysis of free swimming was predominantly supported by the wireless sensor technology, whereby signal analysis was capable of automatically determining factors such as lap times variations within strokes. The turning phase was also characterised in acceleration space, allowing the phases of the turn to be individually assessed and their contribution to total turn time established. Each of the component technologies were not used in isolation but were supported by other synchronous data capture. In all cases a vision component was used to increase understanding of data outputs and provide a medium that coaches and athletes were comfortable with interpreting. The integrated, component based system has been…

▼ This thesis examined the benefits of physiological and performance testing of elite swimmers.
The study considered the following research questions: the degree to which physiological and
performance measures in training contribute to swimming performance; sources and
magnitude of variability in testing, training and competition performance; the magnitudes of
changes in test measures during routine training; and the reliability, validity and utility of
miniaturised and automated smart sensor technology to monitor the stroke and performance
times of swimmers in training. The experimental approach involved the retrospective
analysis of five years of physiological and performance testing of elite level swimmers, the
development of a new accelerometry-based smart sensor device to monitor swimmers in the
pool, a cross-sectional study comparing the physiological and performance responses of
swimmers of different levels, and the effects of an intensive 14-day training program on
submaximal physiological and performance measures. Collectively, the outcomes of these
studies provide a strong justification for the physiological and performance testing of elite
swimmers, a quantitative framework for interpreting the magnitude of changes and
differences in test scores and sources of variation, and highlight the potential utility of new
smart sensor technology to automate the monitoring of a swimmer�s training performance.
The first study (Chapter 2) characterises the changes and variability in test performance,
physiological and anthropometric measures, and stroke mechanics of swimmers within and
between seasons over their elite competitive career. Forty elite swimmers (24 male, 16
female) performed a 7 x 200-m incremental swimming step test several times each 6-month
season (10 � 5 tests, spanning 0.5 to 6.0 y). Mixed linear modeling provided estimates of
change in the mean and individual responses for measures based on submaximal performance
(fixed 4-mM lactate), maximal performance (the seventh step), and lean mass (from skinfolds
and body mass). Submaximal and maximal swim speed increased within each season from
the pre to taper phase by ~2.2% for females and ~1.5% for males (95% confidence limits
�1.0%), with variable contributions from stroke rate and stroke length. Most of the gains in
speed were lost in the off-season, leaving a net average annual improvement of ~1.0% for
females and ~0.6% for males (�1.0%). For submaximal and maximal speed, individual
variation between phases was �2.2% and the typical measurement error was �0.8%. In
conclusion, step test and anthropometric measures can be used to confidently monitor
progressions in swimmers in an elite training program within and between seasons.
The second study (Chapter 3) quantified the relationship between changes in test measures
and changes in competition performance for individual elite swimmers.…

▼ Undertaking dry-land strength and power training to increase leg extensor power output is believed to increase a swimmer’s ability to start and turn during a swim race. Swimmers generally undertake dry-land strength and power training as part of their overall training regime to increase lower body force output and impulse, in order to improve both swim start and turning performance. Elite swimmers demonstrate faster swimming turn times that are potentially a result of having better strength-power characteristics than sub-elite swimmers. The aim of this research was to quantify differences in dry-land and swimming turn leg extensor force-time characteristics between elite and sub-elite swimmers, and investigate whether short-term ballistic training or maximal strength training is more effective in enhancing leg extensor force-time characteristics during the swim turn in elite and sub-elite swimmers.
To quantify the differences in dry-land and swim turn leg extensor force-time characteristics sub-elite (11 males: 17.4 ± 0.6 y; 10 females: 17.1 ± 0.6 y; mean ± SD) and elite swimmers (15 male: 23.2 ± 2.3 y; 7 female: 21.6 ± 2.5 y) were tested in a cross-sectional design. All swimmers performed a bodyweight and loaded (20 kg females, 30 kg males) squat jump (SJ) on a portable force platform. On the same day, all swimmers completed swimming turn analyses using a force platform fixed within the pool wall. The magnitude of difference between sub-elite and elite groups was estimated using a standardised mean difference (effect size statistic). Elite male and female swimmers had superior swim turn and dry-land force-time characteristics than sub-elite swimmers in all tests. The standardised mean differences between groups ranged from small to very large. The largest differences being unloaded SJ peak velocity (male: 3.07 ± 1.0 m.s-1; female: 3.49 ± 2.29 m.s-1; standardised mean difference ± 90% confidence limits) and unloaded SJ peak power (male: 2.59 ± 0.79 W; female: 2.80 ± 1.64 W) with elite male and female swimmers demonstrating ~25-50% higher performance than the sub-elites.
To investigate whether short-term ballistic or maximal strength training is more effective at enhancing leg extensor force-time characteristics during the swim turn, twelve elite swimmers (10 males and 2 females 19.4 ± 1.0 y) were assigned to either strength (n=6) or ballistic leg extensor (n=6) training based on their coaching group for a six-week period. All testing was conducted during the final training cycle leading into the 2013 World Championships selection trials. There was only one substantial difference between the strength and ballisticgroups after the six-week intervention. Loaded SJ peak velocity was substantially lower (-0.71 ± 0.42 m.s-1; mean ± 90% confidence limits) after six weeks in the strength-trained group. Relative peak power (4.0 ± 2.1 W.kg-1), loaded and unloaded SJ peak force (loaded: 195.0 ±122.8 N, unloaded: 155.0 ±152.3 N) and unloaded SJ impulse (2.9 ± 2.1 N.s) all showed small but clear improvements with ballistic…

▼ Pesquisas recentes buscaram compreender a organização de programas esportivos em diferentes países com sucesso internacional. Esses estudos relatam a existência de pontos comuns relevantes para o desenvolvimento do esporte de alto rendimento. No entanto, pouco tem sido discutido no meio acadêmico em âmbito nacional a respeito deste tema. Esta pesquisa foi realizada em duas fases, respectivamente A e B, com os seguintes objetivos: Fase A - descrever a estrutura organizacional da maratona aquática no Brasil, com referência aos aspectos de administração do sistema esportivo e ao sistema de desenvolvimento e suporte para atletas e técnicos da maratona aquática conforme propostos por Green e Oakley (2001); Fase B - verificar a qualidade dos programas de detecção, seleção e promoção dos talentos esportivos (DSPTE) na maratona aquática no Brasil com relação à estrutura, processos e resultados. Na fase A foi realizada uma entrevista semiestruturada, junto a 2 técnicos olímpicos e 2 funcionários responsáveis pela organização da modalidade sendo um representante do nível nacional e outro do nível municipal no Brasil; na análise dos resultados foi utilizado o método do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo (DSC) proposto por Lefèvre e Lefèvre (2003). Na fase B foi aplicado um questionário desenvolvido por Rütten, Ziemainz e Röger (2005), o qual foi traduzido e validado para a língua portuguesa, junto a 2 técnicos olímpicos, 2 funcionários responsáveis pela organização da modalidade sendo um representante do nível nacional e outro do nível municipal no Brasil e 9 atletas (3 olímpicos e 6 da seleção júnior); os dados foram analisados descritivamente através dos valores de mediana dos dados obtidos, com a utilização do programa SPSS versão 20. De acordo com os resultados verificou-se que as entidades governamentais e não governamentais possuem papel diferente entre si devido à ausência de organização centralizadora e comunicação direta entre atleta de alto rendimento e entidades no nível nacional. O sistema de desenvolvimento e suporte para atletas e técnicos da maratona aquática no Brasil acontece apesar de não existir um sistema de desenvolvimento do talento esportivo elaborado pelos órgãos no nível nacional e do COB oferecer, de modo restrito, apenas dois programas sendo um de aperfeiçoamento técnico e outro voltado para o atleta em transição da carreira esportiva para o término da carreira esportiva. Nos programas de detecção, seleção e promoção de talentos esportivos para a maratona aquática de alto rendimento no Brasil, foi verificada baixa qualidade nos Resultados da DSTE, pois esse processo é desenvolvido conjuntamente à natação permitindo a migração para a maratona aquática somente a partir dos 14 anos e alta qualidade para os Processos da PTE nos quais os atletas que alcançaram o alto rendimento esportivo são assistidos de maneira diferenciada. Diante da inexistência de um sistema esportivo nacional para esta finalidade, sugere-se que seja verificada a estrutura organizacional da maratona aquática em outros países com sucesso…

RESUMO
Os principais objetivos deste estudo foram: analisar a relação entre o tipo de paixão
(harmoniosa ou obsessiva) e a orientação motivacional (para o ego ou para a tarefa),
analisar a relação entre o tipo de paixão e o rendimento e analisar a relação entre a
orientação motivacional e o rendimento em atletas da modalidade de natação. Assim,
participaram neste estudo 115 nadadores (n=115), de ambos os géneros (65 rapazes e
50 raparigas), com idades compreendidas entre os 13 e os 25 anos (M=15,55; SD=2,3),
participantes em competições da FINA, e divididos por quatro escalões competitivos
(infantis, juvenis, juniores e seniores). Para tal, foram utilizadas as versões portuguesas
da Passion Scale (PS) e Task and Ego Orientation in Sport Questionnaire (TEOSQ). Os
principais resultados revelaram uma correlação positiva e significativa entre paixão
harmoniosa e orientação motivacional para a tarefa (r=0,244; p=0,009) e entre paixão
obsessiva e orientação motivacional para a tarefa (r=0,209; p=0,002), o que pode ser
justificado pela forte correlação existente entre os dois tipos de paixão (r=0,481;
p=0,000). Estes resultados revelam que os atletas praticam natação livremente, não
por pressões internas, mas pelo gosto que têm pela modalidade. No entanto, os
valores encontrados na paixão obsessiva e na orientação motivacional para o ego,
levam à existência de sentimentos de obrigação e sacrifício quando praticam a
modalidade. Os resultados revelam, ainda, que o rendimento não é influenciado pelo
tipo de paixão nem pela orientação motivacional, já que estas variáveis não se correlacionam.
ABSTRACT
The main objectives of this study were: to analyze the relationship between the type
of passion (harmonious or obsessive) and goal orientation (ego or task), to examine
the relationship between the type of passion and the performance and analyze the
relationship between the goal orientation and performance in swimming
athletes. Therefore, 115 swimmers participated in this study (n= 115), of both
genders (65 male and 50 female) aged between 13 and 25 years (M =15.55, SD =
2.3), participants in FINA’s competitions and divided by four competitive
levels (children, youth, junior and senior). To accomplish that, we used the Portuguese
versions of the Passion Scale (PS) and Task and Ego Orientation in Sport Questionnaire
(TEOSQ). The main results showed a positive and significant correlation
between harmonious passion and goal orientation to task (r = 0.244, p =0.009) and
between obsessive passion and goal orientation to task (r =0.209, p = 0.002), which
can be justified by the strong …

▼ The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of three different training programs on timed swims made by competitive teenage sprint freestyle swimmers of both genders during a typical five-month high school season. Coaches from five teams assigned 49 female and 38 male swimmers from age 13 through age 17 (M = 14.97 years) into one of three training programs. The programs were P1 (swim only, n = 20), P2 (swim plus plyometrics, n = 59), and P3 (swim plus plyometrics and weights, n = 8). Competitive swim experience ranged from novice to seven years or more (M = 5.01 years). One-way ANOVA's were conducted on post times, gain times and standardized gain times for both the 50 and 100 yard freestyles. A standardized gain time was operationalized as a swimmer's percentage gain toward achieving a USA Swimming AAAA time standard. ANCOVA tests of between-subjects effects were also performed to compare post times and gain times. These tests controlled for the effects of gender, age, total swim yards during practice, and years of swimming experience. Multiple regression analyses were used to identify predictor variables of gain and post times for the 50 and 100 yard freestyles among high school swimmers. Gender, age, total swim practice minutes and years of competitive swim experience were among the predictors. Training program P3 produced significantly higher 50 freestyle gain times than did either program P1 (p = .028) or P2 (p = .001). Similarly, program P3 also produced significantly higher 100 freestyle gain times than did either program P1 (p = .012) or P2 (p = .002). At both distances, program P1 was slightly more effective than program P2. Regression models for both freestyle events were found to significantly predict gain times. Total swim yards (50 free) and total swim minutes (100 free) were found to be non-significant predictors.
A swim training program consisting, time-wise, of 80% swimming and 20% plyometrics plus weights is significantly more effective in improving sprint freestyle times of high school swimmers than a swimming only program or a program of 80% swimming and 20% plyometrics.

▼ Swimming is a technically demanding sport that requires ongoing quantitative assessment in order to monitor technical progression and improvements in
performance. Traditional methods of monitoring a swimmer’s technique rely on the use of video-based systems. However, the primary motivation for this thesis is that these systems have several limitations when applied in aquatic environments. Such limitations are hindering the extent to which quantitative analytical practices are used by elite
swimming coaches. As a consequence, alternative solutions are required and the advancement in the miniaturisation of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) has led to a recent increase is the interest in applying such technology in
swimming.
This thesis describes a set of studies focused on investigating the application of existing MEMS technology for the analysis of elite
swimming performance. MEMS sensors such as accelerometers and gyroscopes have been shown to be capable of registering some basic parameters relevant to the analysis of
swimming, such as lap time and stroke count, but further research and development are necessary in order to improve the functionality of these devices and to increase the applicability of this approach in elite settings.
This thesis also describes the development of a novel
swimming analysis system, based on the use of MEMS inertial sensor technology. A user-centred design approach was followed to fully investigate current practices and to understand the challenges of incorporating this technology in applied training environments. A key contribution of this work is the development of a number of novel feature detection algorithms for the analysis of
swimming turns. These studies demonstrate the feasibility of incorporating MEMS technology in an elite
swimming environment to inform and enhance the coaching process.

▼ The present study explored (a) the effect of fatigue induced by prolonged surface combat swimming (sCS) and the role of the wet environment on shooting ability in two positions, standing and kneeling, (b) the effect of a surface combat swimming (sCS) training program on the physiological responses and performance in freestyle swimming and sCS as well as in shooting ability. Initially, forty-five participants performed ten shots in a shooting simulator while standing and ten shots while kneeling. This was performed twice, and done in three conditions: dry, wet, and after 1000 m of sCS. Thereafter, they divided into three equivalent groups: a control group (CG), a group that was trained only with a swimsuit and fins (SF), and a group that was trained with combat uniform and equipment (UE). Groups SF and UE followed a 60-min training program with sCS for 4 weeks, 4 times per week. Before and after the training program all groups performed 4 x 50 m and 400 m freestyle swimming, 250 m and 1000 m sCS with a uniform and equipment, 350 m with a swimsuit and fins, and 300 m with a swimsuit. After the 1000 m trail the shooting ability was also evaluated in two positions, standing and kneeling. SCs negatively affected shooting ability when both standing and kneeling. The reduction in the centre of gravity of the shots after sCS was 3.7 ± 2.5% for standing and 3.5 ± 0.8% for kneeling (p < 0.01). Kneeling was more stable, as shown by a higher percentage of centre of gravity of the shots by 3.3 ± 0.1% (p < 0.01), as well as fewer gun movements in both axes (p < 0.01). In addition, wet conditions did not significantly affect shooting abilities. After the sCs training program, the CG group did now show any improvement, whereas the UE group showed improved performance in 4 x 50 m (mean ± SD 14 ± 9 s) and 400 m (26 ± 20 s) as well as in 250 m (24 ± 14 s) (p<0.01). The SF group improved in the 350 m sCS (30 ± 10 s) test (p<0.01), while both the SF group and the UE group significantly improved in 300 m sCS (43 ± 26 s and 46 ± 40 s respectively p<0.01) and 1000 m (134 ± 115 s and 111 ± 57 s respectively p<0.01). In conclusion, the 1000 m combat swimming seems to affect shooting ability, both in standing and kneeling position. The kneeling position provides better stability and improved shooting ability. Moreover, the training adaptations improve shooting ability and seemed to be specialized, not only with regard to the activity performed, but also in terms of the actual conditions of an operation, which also include equipment.
