Stability analysis and prediction of pacing in elite 1500 m freestyle male swim...
Morais, J.E.; Barbosa, Tiago M.; Forte, Pedro; Bragada, José A.; Castro, Flávio A. de Souza; Marinho, D.A.This study aimed to analyse the stability of elite male long-distance swimmers (1500 m), and to identify the main predictors related to the pace. The performance of 16 elite male swimmers (22.59 ± 2.10 years-old) participating in the 1500 m event at the 2016 (London) and 2018 (Glasgow) LEN European Aquatic Championships were analysed. The lap performance, clean swim performance, turn performance, and a set of s...
Editorial: physiological and biomechanical determinants of swimming performance...
Castro, Flávio A. de Souza; Figueiredo, Pedro; Toubekis, Argyris G.; Barbosa, Tiago M.; McCabe, CarlaThe objective of this Research Topic was to develop and strengthen evidence of training and swimming performance to increase scientific knowledge in the area, considering that understanding the biomechanical, physiological, and neuromuscular determinants of swimming performance is still challenging. This way, 13 manuscripts have been reviewed and approved for this research topic (volume II). We can categorize t...
Editorial: Coaches' role in youth sports performance: early specialization vers...
Morais, J.E.; Marinho, D.A.; Castro, Flávio A. de Souza; Barbosa, Tiago M.Youth sports are planned sports programs for children and adolescents with designated coaches, organized practices, and scheduled competitions. Such programs can be organized and implemented at schools (by physical education teachers instead of coaches), as well as in other sports organizations (i.e., federations, associations, local clubs). Primary aim should be to focus on providing young athletes with fundam...
Is V̇O2peak a valid estimation of V̇O2max in swimmers with physical impairments?
Feitosa, Wellington G.; Barbosa, Tiago M.; Correia, Ricardo de Assis; Castro, Flávio A. de SouzaPeak and maximal oxygen uptake (V_O2peak and V_O2max, respectively) are used in assessing aerobic power. For swimmers with physical impairments, it is unclear whether the physiological variables obtained in 200-m and Nx200-m tests are similar. The objective of this study is to assess the validity of V_O2peak as an estimator of V_O2max and complementary physiological variables, in particular, carbon dioxide prod...
Performance of disabled swimmers in protocols or tests and competitions: a syst...
Feitosa, Wellington G.; Correia, Ricardo de Assis; Barbosa, Tiago M.; Castro, Flávio A. de SouzaBiomechanical and coordination measurements are useful tools to assess swimming performance. Regarding Paralympic swimming, function and technique make these measurements complex. The aim of this study was to perform a systematic review of studies on biomechanics, coordination and performance in disabled swimmers following swimming protocols and in competitions. Data sources: PubMed, EMBASE, ISI Web of Knowledg...
Kinematic, coordinative and efficiency parameters of physically impaired swimme...
Feitosa, Wellington G.; Correia, Ricardo de Assis; Barbosa, Tiago M.; Castro, Flávio A. de SouzaIn paralympic swimming, the biomechanical parameters related to performance are effectively determined according to the potentialities and peculiarities of each athlete. However, a clear integrated approach to these parameters for swimmers with physical disabilities at the speed of maximum oxygen uptake (vV̇O2max) is still practically non-existent.
Progression of world records in master swimming

Maximal oxygen uptake, total metabolic energy expenditure, and energy cost in s...
Feitosa, Wellington G.; Barbosa, Tiago M.; Correia, Ricardo de Assis; Castro, Flávio A. de SouzaThe purpose of this study was to assess the maximum oxygen uptake (V̇ O2max), the total metabolic energy expenditure (_Etot), and the energy cost (C) measured as the speed of V̇ O2max in swimmers with physical impairments. Eleven swimmers performed an Nx200- m front crawl test from a low to all-out speed and data were obtained at maximum aerobic power. The oxygen uptake was measured breath-by-breath by a teleme...
