Front Crawl Is More Efficient and Has Smaller Active Drag Than Backstroke Swimming: Kinematic and Kinetic Comparison Between the Two Techniques at the Same Swimming Speeds
Gonjo, Tomohiro; Narita, Kenzo; McCabe, Carla; Fernandes, Ricardo J.; Vilas-Boas, João Paulo; Takagi, Hideki; Sanders, Ross (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The purpose of this study was to investigate differences in Froude efficiency (ηF ) and active drag (DA) between front crawl and backstroke at the same speed. ηF was investigated by the three-dimensional (3D) motion analysis ... -
How do swimmers control their front crawl swimming velocity?: Current knowledge and gaps from hydrodynamic perspectives
Takagi, Hideki; Nakashima, Motomu; Sengoku, Yasuo; Tsunokawa, Takaaki; Koga, Daiki; Narita, Kenzo; Kudo, Shigetada; Sanders, Ross; Gonjo, Tomohiro (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The aim of this study was to review the literature on front crawl swimming biomechanics, focusing on propulsive and resistive forces at different swimming velocities. Recent studies show that the resistive force increases ...
