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...

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.
