Stroke rate-stroke length dynamics in elite freestyle swimming: application of kernel density estimation
Staunton, C. A., Ruiz-Navarro, J. J., Born, D.-P.Published in Frontiers in Sports and Active Living (2025)“…Conclusions: These findings highlight the complexity and individuality of stroke mechanics at elite levels and suggest that superior conditioning and technique enable medallists to sustain elevated SR without compromising SL. The application of 2D KDE provides a novel, intuitive method to capture nuanced biomechanical strategies, offering valuable insights for coaching and performance optimisation.…”

Technical stroke regulations discriminate pacing effectiveness during a 5-km indoor pool race
Bouvet, A., Pla, R., Nicolas, G., Bideau, N.Published in International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance (2025)“…Results: The 2 clusters were discriminated by percentage of the CSS sustainment (P < .01). Optimal performers showed a +41.4% more stable pacing (2 race sections vs 3 for farOPPL) and a +36.7% higher end spurt, with a trend combining higher overall stroke rate (P = .08) with lower jerk cost (P = .17). …”
