Comparison of modes of feedback on glide performance in swimming (2011)
Journal Article
L. Thow, J., Naemi, R., & H. Sanders, R. (2012). Comparison of modes of feedback on glide performance in swimming. Journal of sports sciences, 30(1), 43-52. https://doi.org/10.1080/02640414.2011.624537

2008). This study compared the effect of feedback on glide performance from GlideCoach with video and verbal feedback. Nineteen elite swimmers were randomly assigned to one of three groups: Group 1 and 2 included six swimmers and Group 3 included sev...

Do foot orthoses replicate the static longitudinal arch angle during midstance in walking? (2011)
Journal Article
Burn, H., Branthwaite, H., Chockalingam, N., Larose Chevalier, T., & Naemi, R. (2011). Do foot orthoses replicate the static longitudinal arch angle during midstance in walking?. #Journal not on list, 21(3), 129-132. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foot.2010.12.004

Introduction In a normal clinical environment, foot function and treatment efficacy is evaluated using static foot posture assessment. Whilst there are several methods of static assessment, the longitudinal arch angle (LAA) has been validated as a r...

Three-dimensional analysis of intracycle velocity fluctuations in frontcrawl swimming (2010)
Journal Article
G. Psycharakis, S., Naemi, R., Connaboy, C., McCabe, C., & H. Sanders, R. (2010). Three-dimensional analysis of intracycle velocity fluctuations in frontcrawl swimming. Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports, 20(1), 128-135. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1600-0838.2009.00891.x

The purpose of this study was to determine accurately the magnitude and changes of intra-cycle velocity fluctuation (Vfluc), maximum (Vmax) and minimum velocity (Vmin) of the center of mass during a maximum 200 m frontcrawl swim, and to examine wheth...

Hydrodynamic glide efficiency in swimming (2009)
Journal Article
Naemi, R., J Easson, W., & H Sanders, R. (2010). Hydrodynamic glide efficiency in swimming. Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport, 13(4), 444-451. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jsams.2009.04.009

The glide is a major part of starts, turns and the stroke cycle in breaststroke. Glide performance, indicated by the average velocity, can be improved by increasing the glide efficiency, that is, the ability of the body to minimise deceleration. This...

Development of Immediate Feedback Software for Optimising Glide Performance and Time of Initiating Post-Glide Actions (P56) (2008)
Book Chapter
Naemi, R., Aritan, S., Goodwill, S., Haake, S., & Sanders, R. (2008). Development of Immediate Feedback Software for Optimising Glide Performance and Time of Initiating Post-Glide Actions (P56). In The Engineering of Sport 7. Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-2-287-99054-0_35

Performance in starts and turns is a major contributor to success in swimming and is influenced greatly by the glide efficiency and the timing of commencing the post-glide action (including kick in all strokes and the underwater pull in breaststroke...

A “Hydrokinematic” Method of Measuring the Glide Efficiency of a Human Swimmer (2008)
Journal Article
Naemi, R., & H. Sanders, R. (2008). A “Hydrokinematic” Method of Measuring the Glide Efficiency of a Human Swimmer. Journal of Biomechanical Engineering, 130(6), https://doi.org/10.1115/1.3002764

The aim of this study was to develop and test a method of quantifying the glide efficiency, defined as the ability of the body to maintain its velocity over time and to minimize deceleration through a rectilinear glide. The glide efficiency should be... Read More about A “Hydrokinematic” Method of Measuring the Glide Efficiency of a Human Swimmer.
