1. Load-velocity profiles as a predictor of performance level in swimming : What differentiates international elite swimmers from national elite – force capacity or efficiency?
University essay from Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan, GIH/Institutionen för fysiologi, nutrition och biomekanikAbstract : Aim The purposes of this study were to investigate if the load-velocity (L-V) profile parameters – force capacity and efficiency - differ between swimmers of different performance level, and to investigate if efficiency is the key performance indicator between international elite and national elite level swimmers. Method Fifty-four swimmers (27 female and 27 male) of either regional level, national elite or international elite level, participated in this study. READ MORE

2. Measuring Sprint Speed with Ultra-wideband Technology
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : Sprinting can be an important ability in sports, and there are many methods for measuring sprint performance. Two common methods are hand-held timing and fully automatic timing systems. However, hand-held timing is inaccurate due to reaction time, and fully automatic timing can be impractical since it involves complex equipment. READ MORE

5. Periodic Inhalation of Carbon Monoxide Prior to Repeated Sprint Training – a Nuanced Way for Improving Repeated Sprint Ability
University essay from Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan, GIH/Institutionen för fysisk aktivitet och hälsaAbstract : Background: Repeated sprint training in hypoxia has shown to be superior to training in normoxia. However, both natural and simulated altitude training are strategies that are not always accessible and expensive due to traveling or the need for advanced equipment. READ MORE
