Ruiz-Alias, S. A., Ñancupil-Andrade, A. A., Pérez-Castilla, A., García-Pinillos, F. “…This study aims to determine the validity of the critical power (CP) and the work capacity over CP (W') obtained from different two-time trial combinations with respect a five-point model. In a 3-week training period, 15 athletes (age: 23 ± 5 years; height: 166 ± 6 cm; body mass: 58 ± 8 kg; 5 km season-best: 15:29 ± 00:53 mm:ss) performed five time-trials (i.e. 3, 4, 5, 10, 20 min) on a 400 m track, from which the mean power outputs were obtained through the Stryd Power Meter. …”

Villanova, S., Pastorio, E., Pilotto, A. M., Marciano, A., Quaresima, V., Adami, A., Rossiter, H. B., Cardinale, D. A., Porcelli, S. “…Training volume was greater in Tier 4/5 (34.0 ± 5.5 km week-1) and Tier 3 (35.5 ± 11.6 km week-1) than in Tier 1/2 (6.4 ± 1.8 km week-1). kHIGH was greater in Tier 4/5 and Tier 3 (3.18 ± 0.41 and 2.79 ± 0.40 min-1) versus Tier 1/2 (2.10 ± 0.36 min-1; all P < 0.002). kHIGH correlated with FINA points, 100 m performance and training volume. delta-k was not different among tiers and was not associated with training volume or performance. …”

Quigley, K. G., Fenner, M., Pavilionis, P., Murray, N. G. “…Twenty female NCAA Division I swimmers (average age = 21.6 ± 1.3 years) participated over 25 weeks, completing pre-, mid-, and post-season assessments of injury rates, shoulder range of motion, and stability using standardized tests. …”

Liu, S., Gou, P., Lin, M. “…Among the included studies, respiratory muscle training protocols were typically conducted at 50%-80% of maximal inspiratory pressure for 6-8 weeks, with a frequency of 3-14 sessions per week. …”

Gao, Y., Yang, Y., Xian, C., Wang, Z. “…The intervention lasted 12 weeks, with three 90-min sessions per week. Pre- and post-training assessments of lower-limb strength and overall fitness included six measures: standing reach height, approach reach height, half-meter square agility test, standing long jump, 30 m sprint, and 1,500 m run. …”
