The Influence of Swimming Start Components for Selected Olympic and Paralympic Swimmers

Abstract: This study compared the components of the 15-m swimming start for 20 international male Olympic and Paralympic swimmers. The time, distance, and velocity components for freestyle swimming were measured. There were significantly (p < .05) different absolute and relative swim start measures among the swimming groups. Using stepwise regression three variables significantly influenced the start to 15-m time: (i) underwater velocity, (ii) free swim velocity, and (iii) whether the swimmer had cerebral palsy.

“…Interestingly, they also obtained faster underwater turn velocities in all events except breaststroke, even though it has been previously explained that this parameter is only important for the start performance (Burkett, Mellifont, & Mason, 2010;Cossor & Mason, 2001;Vantorre, Seifert, Fernandes, Vilas Boas, & Chollet, 2010a). Finally, they showed the ability to stabilize some of the turn parameters throughout the race compared to the lower expertise swimmers (Tables 2 and 3).…”

“…The inclusion of swimming strokes into the start and turn race segments could help explain this. When a swimmer emerges before the 15 m start reference mark, he covers the distance to the reference mark with swimming strokes usually at a slower velocity than the previous underwater swimming phase (Burkett, Mellifont, & Mason 2010). As an example, the swimmers in our study emerged between 3 and 6 m before the 15 m reference mark.…”

“…En otro estudio de Veiga y Roig (2016a) sobre los efectos de la salida y el viraje en los Campeonatos del Mundo del 2013 para pruebas de 100 m en nadadores de élite, observaron que las velocidades medias hasta la emersión fueron superiores a las velocidades en superficie, incluso fueron superiores a las mostradas por otros autores (Burkett, Mellifont y Mason, 2010;Tor, Pease y Ball, 2014;Vantorre et al, 2010c). Los mayores parámetros se encontraron en los hombres caracterizándose porque los tiempos de reacción fueron más cortos (Tor, Pease y Ball, 2014), sus niveles fueron mayores (Costa et al, 2014) y por la fuerza explosiva de las piernas (West, Owen, Cunningham, Cook y Kilduff, 2011).…”

El tiempo hasta 10 m y el tiempo subacuático en descenso y en ascenso son importante, junto con los entrenamientos de fuerza para producir un mayor empuje.…”
