ABSTRACT In the past years, there was an increasing interest in the biomechanical responses in water fitness sessions. The present review consolidates the current “state-of-art” on the biomechanical responses in water fitness programmes. The literature was searched and screened studies on: (i) healthy subjects; and (ii) water fitness sessions and programmes reporting physical condition outcomes. A total of 36 s...
The main purpose of this study was to follow-up the intra- and inter-individual variability of young swimmers' performance and determinant factors over two competitive seasons. Thirty young swimmers (14 boys: 12.33±0.65 years-old; 16 girls: 11.15±0.55 years-old) were followed-up throughout two consecutive seasons (seven evaluation moments). Performance (100m freestyle), anthropometric, kinematic, hydrodynamic a...
OBJETIVO: Caracterização da técnica de bruços, na relação entre os parâmetros cinemáticos e neuromusculares. MÉTODO: A eletromiografia de superfície (EMG) foi utilizada para analisar a dinâmica da atividade neuromuscular nos músculos peitoral maior (PM), bicípite braquial (BB), tricípite braquial (TB) e deltoide anterior (DA) em 12 nadadores de elite nacional. Foi utilizado um par de câmaras, fornecendo uma pro...
