Body roll amplitude and timing in backstroke swimming and their differences from front crawl at the same swimming intensities

Abstract The current study investigated body roll amplitude and timing of its peak in backstroke and compared them with front crawl swimming. Nineteen anatomical landmarks were digitised using 80 swimming trial videos (ten swimmers × two techniques × four intensities) recorded by two above- and four...
