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) -1.8 -2.02S. Nystrand -1.6 -1.79S. Steffensen
Forward speed during turn-in stroke (m/sec)rein haljand: (This parameter shows efficiency and timing of that special stroke before rotation. It is normal, if speed of that stroke is much higher then swimming speed before turn) -1.9 -2.28S. Nystrand -1.7 -2.04S. Steffensen
Duration of rotation (m/sec)rein haljand: (Indicate effect of grouping and turning) 0.83 0.7S. Nystrand 0.87 0.7M. Limpert
Forward movement of hips to wall during rotation (m)rein haljand: (Shows how much hips continue moving during rotation forward) -1 -1.28R. Say -0.8 -1.14L. Johnke
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) 0.3 0.22S. Nystrand 0.3 0.14J. Lillhage
Forward speed during push (m/sec)rein haljand: (Average forward speed of hips during pushing indicate effect of pushing action.) 1.5 2.21S. Nystrand 1.4 1.88M. Svahnstrom
Forward speed of gliding after push (m/sec)rein haljand: (This parameter shows swimmer hydrodynamic streamline qualities and right timing of the beginning leg kick actions) 2.3 3B. Johns 2 2.47L. Johnke
Forward speed during legs kick (m/sec)rein haljand: (Efficiency of underwater undulation movements and leg kicks) 1.75 2.1B. Johns 1.6 1.94T. Alshammar
Duration of legs kick (sec)rein haljand: (If speed is high, then duration may be longer, if low then shorter) 0.6 1.38B. Johns 0.5 1A. Kammerling
Forward speed during first pullout armstroke (m/sec)rein haljand: (Parameter indicate efficiency of that first pull) 1.7 1.9I. Thorpe 1.6 1.7L. Johnke
Forward speed during second pullout armstroke (m/sec)rein haljand: (Parameter indicate efficiency of that second pull) 1.7 1.89S. Nystrand 1.6 1.78S. Steffensen
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) 1.7 1.92S. Nystrand 1.6 1.77T. Alshammar
