Reliability of the front-crawl force-time curve in a short-duration protocol

By

This study examined the reliability of biomechanical parameters in the force-time curve of the freestyle stroke in a 10-second tethered swimming protocol. The analyzed parameters are reproducible and can be used to monitor adaptations induced by training. READ!
