Energetics of competitive swimming - implications for training-programs
An analysis of the mechanics and energetics of swimming reveals that different factors play a key role in the success in competitive swimming events. Knowledge of these performance factors will aid in the development of optimal training programs, especially when their relative importance can be identified. In this review special attention is paid to the energy expenditure in swimming and the factors determining it on the one hand while on the other hand the aerobic and anaerobic energy generating systems are quantified.
