Velocity, stroke rate, stroke length and stroke index values of a female swimming team during a short course competitive season
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the variation of mean values of velocity (V), stroke rate (SR), stroke length (SL), and stroke index (SI), in the I 00, 200 m and 800 m freestyle events of a female swimming team, during a competitive season. All the events were analysed. Results suggest that the parameters studied showed sirrrilar variations in the different events analysed: the longer the events were the lower was the observed velocity. This reduction of mean velocity was due to a slowest SR. The SL increased slightly but without statistical significance. The observed V values were similar for all the swimmers but with different combinations between the observed parameters (SL and SR).
