Selected critical transient body positions in breast stroke and their influence upon water resistance
The reduction of water resistance is of vital importance to swimmers. It has been studied in relation to : - body cross-sectional area, (Amar 1920) ; skin and costume texture, (Karpovich 1933) ; body surface area, (Karpovich 1933} ; body orientation and angle, (Karpovich 1933, Counsilman 1955) ; position of body parts, (Hairabedian 1964) and limited body movements (Counsilman 1955). Broadly speaking resistance is the result of wavemaking, eddy formation and skin friction, (Froude 1874 ; Lanchester 1908).
