parameters
Forward speed of swimming cycle before turn (m/sec)rein haljand: (Speed before turn is good to compare to speed after turn)(Higher speed before turn is precondition for better turning actions) -1.35 -1.64M.Knabe -1.2 -1.37L. VanOosten
Forward speed before touch (m/sec)rein haljand: (speed before touch indicate how good was timing to touch the wall, compared to swimming speed before turn) -1.4 -1.68M.Knabe -1.3 -1.52L. VanOosten
Duration of rotation (m/sec)rein haljand: (Indicate effect of grouping and turning) 0.9 0.76P. Isaksson 1 0.82E. Igelstrom
Forward speed of hips to wall during rotation (m/sec)rein haljand: (Shows that hips stops during beginning of rotation or continues moving fast forward together with grouping of legs) -0.45 -0.78P. Isaksson -0.3 -0.44P. Heyns
Push-off duration (sec)rein haljand: (Push off duration indicate power of pushing : then shorter then better, but if swimmer is waiting before pushing, this duration considered as extra unnecessary time) 0.34 0.24Huang 0.3 0.18E. Igelstrom
Forward speed during push (m/sec)rein haljand: (Average forward speed of hips during pushing indicate effect of pushing action) 1.45 2.13A. Ayers 1.3 1.82N. Correia
Forward speed of body during first glide (m/sec)rein haljand: (Higher glide speed indicates good gliding quality also right, early timing of first long arms pull) 1.9 2.28M.Knabe 1.8 2.11T. Sloan
Duration of first glide (sec)rein haljand: (If glide speed is high, then duration may be longer ,if low then shorter) 1.35 0.9M.Knabe 1.2 1J. Malar
Forward speed during long pull (m/sec)rein haljand: (This parameter indicate directly efficiency of that arm pull) 1.75 2.32M.Knabe 1.6 1.75L. VanOosten
Forward speed during second glide (m/sec)rein haljand: (Too high speed indicate early start of recovery actions, too low shows resistance of position or too long duration of that glide) 1.55 2.03M.Knabe 1.4 1.57P. Heyns
Forward speed during recovery actions (m/sec)rein haljand: (High value shows quality of recovery movements by arms and legs, but it depends also from level of speed before recovery) 0.75 1.07M.Knabe 0.6 0.84L. VanOosten
Forward speed during pullout stroke cycle(m/sec)rein haljand: (It must be higher then swimming speed on water level, it is allowed only once after start and turn according rules, so use that option!) 1.2 1.57M.Knabe 1.1 1.26L. VanOosten
Forward speed of swimming cycle after turn (m/sec)rein haljand: (This parameter need to be compared to swimming speed before turn and it must be same or higher) 1.35 1.49M.Knabe 1.2 1.3P. Heyns
Breaststroke turn time 15m (sec) 9.8 8.7 11.3 10.3
