Evaluates seasonal changes in kinematics and performance in elite open-water swimmers, suggesting monitoring techniques is crucial for training.

The study aims to evaluate how seasonal changes affect physiological and kinematic factors in elite open-water swimmers' performances.
Analyzed 57 incremental swimming tests (7 × 400 m) from 18 elite swimmers across four different months.
Measured heart rate, blood lactate concentration, and kinematic variables such as stroke rate and length.
Conducted tests in a 50-meter pool to assess swimming performance and physiological responses.
No performance or physiological changes were observed between tests.
Stroke length and index changed in males, but not in females.
Maximum swimming speed correlated positively with thresholds and stroke metrics, particularly in males.

López-Belmonte et al. (2026) studied this question.
