Key result
Front crawl and breaststroke elicit similar oxygen uptake and metabolic responses during moderate-intensity swimming.
Why the study?
Little is known about pulmonary oxygen uptake kinetics during swimming, and comparisons between different swimming strokes are non-existent.
Does front crawl swimming compared to breaststroke swimming alter oxygen uptake kinetics and ventilatory/metabolic parameters in trained swimmers?
Does front crawl swimming compared to breaststroke swimming alter oxygen uptake kinetics and ventilatory/metabolic parameters in trained swimmers?
p-value: p=>0.05
Oxygen uptake kinetics and metabolic responses are similar between front crawl and breaststroke during moderate-intensity swimming.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Similar responses support stroke flexibility in moderate swim training; hypothesis-generating for clinical or high-intensity applications.
Lomax et al. (2022) studied Healthy trained swimmers (n=8). Front crawl swimming vs. Breaststroke swimming was evaluated on Oxygen uptake kinetics, ventilatory, and metabolic parameters (p=>0.05). Front crawl and breaststroke swimming elicited similar oxygen uptake kinetics, ventilatory, and metabolic responses during moderate-intensity constant velocity swimming (p>0.05).
