1. 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 biomekanik

   Author : Maria Vitazka; [2023]
   Keywords : Load-Velocity; Force-Velocity; Force Capacity; Swimming; Biomechanics; Performance indicators; International elite; swimming performance; 1080 Sprint; 1080 Motion; Semi-tethered force measurements; tethered force measurements; maximum velocity; load; force; swimming efficiency;

   Abstract : 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.

3. 2. Measuring Sprint Speed with Ultra-wideband Technology

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

   Author : Johannes Arenander; [2023]
   Keywords : Speed; Sprint; Ranging; Ultra-wideband; Hastighet; Sprint; Distansmätning; Ultrabredband;

   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

4. 3. Measuring Athletic Performance UsingAccelerometers

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

   Author : Adam Nilsson; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : With help from a 3D-camera Photon Sports has developed reliable and easy-to-use technology tomeasure and give feedback to athletes during performance tests. This technology makes it possibleto directly extract a number of parameters Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). READ MORE

5. 4. Is there a benefit of super spikes in long jump performance?

   University essay from Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan, GIH/Institutionen för fysisk aktivitet och hälsa

   Author : Erik Svensson; [2023]
   Keywords : Long jump; long jump performance; AFT; super shoes; super spikes; carbon fiber plate; athletics; track field; jump; biomechanics; sprint; speed; force;

   Abstract : Background and aim The pace of development of distance running shoes has been fast-forward since 2016 when Nike introduced their model Nike Zoom Vaporfly, with an imbedded carbon fiber plate and an advanced newly developed Pebax®-foam. The shoe-development has continued to track events, with the introduction of carbon fiber plate in several shoe-models for running and sprint- events. READ MORE

6. 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 hälsa

   Author : Christoffer Sundqvist; [2022]
   Keywords : Endurance; Cycling; high-intensity interval training; Repeated sprint ability; Repeated sprint exercise; Carbon monoxide.;

   Abstract : 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
