Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed swimming turn performance in male and female Swiss national team members using advanced statistical methods (PCA and multiple linear regression) to evaluate kinematic and kinetic key performance indicators (KPI) across different age groups (adult, junior, youth).
- - A motion analysis system with underwater cameras and force plates was used to gather detailed data on swimmers' performances, allowing for a reduction of original variables and a comprehensive understanding of the factors affecting swimming turns.
- - The KPIs identified can help coaches and swimmers assess performance by highlighting strengths and weaknesses, and the percentiles provided serve as benchmarks for evaluating individual swimmer's potential.
The first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic generated a significant number of stressors that the Swiss population had to deal with. In order to cope with and adapt to such adversity, it is essential to have protective factors that allow for resilience.
