The lecture topics:
- The Basis for Efficient Swimming.
- The Interplay between Resistive & Propulsive Drag Forces .
- Why Propulsive Drag Force … “Pushing the water backwards” … is now the dominant motion in Freestyle, Backstroke, & Butterfly.
- Applying multi-camera high-speed videography and subsequent motion analysis software to better understand swimming stroke mechanics.
- Impulse in swimming.
- Asymmetries in swimming.
- Why swimming with a more “Obtuse-Angled Elbow-Bend” is producing faster swimming times.
- High-speed motion analyses of Backstroke, Breaststroke, and Butterfly.
- The interpretation of the resulting data to specific areas of focus for each of these three strokes.
- The Biomechanics of Unintended Consequences.
- A biomechanical perspective of “Body Roll in the Freestyle … The implications of “Conscious Body Roll”.
- Continued discussion on why “Sculling” actions of the hands in swimming does not produce optimum propulsive forces … now discontinued “S-Pull”.
- Extraneous arm and shoulder motion and “Pressing down on the T”.
- Freestyle Stroke Mechanics: Efficient Mechanics.
- Freestyle Stroke Mechanics: Common Stroke Defects.
