The Association of Range of Motion, Dryland Strength–Power, Anthropometry, and Velocity in Elite Breaststroke Swimmers

Abstract: Purpose: The ability of elite breaststroke swimmers to maximize average velocity maintained throughout a race is reportedly mediated by a number of range-of-motion, dryland strength–power, and anthropometric characteristics. The present study aimed to develop a physical profile and evaluate the relationship between dryland strength–power and stroke kinematic variables in elite breaststroke swimmers. Methods: A series of range-of-motion, dryland strength–power, and anthropometric measures were assessed in 11 el… Show more

“…This is likely due to the fact that taller swimmers glide through the water better and, in addition, taller swimmers have a greater arm span, which benefits swimming efficiency. The continued significance between upper limb length and swimming performance in previous and current studies suggests that this factor prioritizes propulsion in the water (Nicol et al 2022;Pan et al 2023;Redón Jordán et al, 2022). Biaromial and biiliac width were variables related to performance in all four techniques.…”

“…Knowing the physical and anthropometric characteristics that underlie swimming performance is crucial for skill development and appropriate program targeting (Bond et al, 2015). Range of motion (ROM), power force on land, and anthropometric qualities are the specific technical factors that an athlete uses to maximize the average race pace (Nicol et al, 2022). Accordingly, the study looked into the correlation between anthropometric characteristics, a few motor characteristics, and 25-meter freestyle swimming performance.…”
