Key Parameters Affecting Kick Start Performance in Competitive Swimming

The study aims to determine the contribution of kinematic parameters to time to 5 m without underwater undulating and kicking. Eighteen male competitive swimmers started from three weighted positions and set the kick plate to positions 1–5. We used SwimPro cameras and the Dartfish© software. In the...

description The study aims to determine the contribution of kinematic parameters to time to 5 m without underwater undulating and kicking.
