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...
The influence of the coaches’ demographics on young swimmers’ performance and t...
Marinho, D.A.; Barbosa, Tiago M.; Lopes, Vitor P.; Forte, Pedro; Toubekis, Argyris G.; Morais, J.E.The purpose of this study was to understand the relationship between the coaches’ demographics (academic degree and/or coaching level and/or coaching experience) and young swimmers’ performance and technical ability. The sample was composed by 151 young swimmers (75 boys and 76 girls: 13.02 1.19 years old, 49.97 8.77 kg of body mass, 1.60 0.08 m of height, 1.66 0.09 m of arm span), from seven different clubs.
