Determining validity and reliability of an in-field performance analysis system for swimming
Born, D.-P., Polach, M., Staunton, C.Published in Sensors (2024)“…To permit the collection of quantitative data on start, turn and clean swimming performances in any swimming pool, the aims of the present study were to (1) validate a mobile in-field performance analysis system (PAS) against the Kistler starting block equipped with force plates and synchronized to a 2D camera system (KiSwim, Kistler, Winterthur, Switzerland), (2) assess the PAS`s interrater reliability and (3) provide percentiles as reference values for elite junior and adult swimmers. …”

Specializing when it counts: comparing the dose-time effect of distance variety between swimming and track running
Born, D.-P., Ruiz-Navarro, J. J., Lorentzen, J., Björklund, G.Published in Sports (2024)“…Objective: To conduct a longitudinal retrospective analysis, explore the relationship between success at peak performance age and the number of different race distances athletes competed in each year (within-sport distance variety), and compare the dose-time effect of this distance variety throughout the development process between male swimmers and track runners. Methodology: Male swimmers (n = 6033) and track runners (n = 19,278) still competing at peak performance age were ranked, and the number of different race distances was extracted retrospectively for each year until early junior age (13-14-year-old category) from the databases of the European Aquatics and World Athletics federations. …”

Key performance indicators and reference values for turn performance in elite youth, junior and adult swimmers
Born, D.-P., Burkhardt, D., Buck, M., Schwab, L., Romann, M.Published in Sports Biomechanics (2025)“…Touch and tumble turn performances of male (n = 68) and female (n = 48) Swiss national team members from three age categories—adult (20.2 ± 2.7 yrs, 790 ± 57 points), junior (16.2 ± 0.8 yrs, 729 ± 53 points) and youth swimmers (14.4 ± 1.0 years of age, 667 ± 53 World Aquatics swimming points, respectively)—were assessed with a motion analysis system equipped with a force plate on the pool wall, one over- and four underwater cameras sampling forces at 500 Hz and footages at 100 Hz. …”

Modelling performance by continents in swimming
Yustres Amores, I., Santos del Cerro, J., González-Mohíno, F., Hermosilla, F., González-Ravé, J. M.Published in Frontiers in Physiology (2023)“…Results: Significant differences (p < 0.01) were found between the average performance obtained by the two different categories (junior: swimmers participating in junior WCs before senior WCs; senior: swimmers participating in senior WCs without previous participation in junior WCs), where swimmers from category junior showed significant better performance`s times than seniors, except in America. …”
