parameters
Forward speed of breaststroke swimming before turn (m/sec)rein haljand: (Higher speed before turn is precondition for better turning actions) -1.3 -1.46C. Myden -1.1 -1.31M. Limpert
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) -1.3 -1.41M. Wouda -1.2 -1.43L. Warden
Duration of rotation (m/sec)rein haljand: (Indicate effect of grouping and turning) 0.9 0.82M. Wouda 0.9 0.8M. Limpert
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) -0.55 -0.8M. Wouda -0.3 -0.49M. Santos
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) 0.35 0.24P. Franco 0.3 0.26M. Limpert
Forward speed during push (m/sec)rein haljand: (Average forward speed of hips during pushing indicate effect of pushing action.) 1.3 1.77B. Johns 1.3 1.85L. Warden
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) 2.2 2.55C. Myden 2 2.23J. Malar
Forward speed during legs kick (m/sec)rein haljand: (Efficiency of underwater undulation movements and leg kicks) 1.7 1.88B. Johns 1.5 1.71C. Burgoyne
Duration of legs kick (sec)rein haljand: (If speed is high, then duration may be longer ,if low then shorter) 0.6 1.4B. Johns 0.5 1M. Limpert
Forward speed during first pullout armstroke (m/sec)rein haljand: (Parameter indicate efficiency of that first pull) 1.6 1.97C. Myden 1.5 1.67J. Malar
Forward speed during second pullout armstroke (m/sec)rein haljand: (Parameter indicate efficiency of that second pull) 1.6 1.87M. Wouda 1.5 1.74J. Malar
Forward speed of freestyle swimming after turn (m/sec)rein haljand: (High freestyle speed indicate good swimming technique after turn movements and must be compared with pullout speeds before it, as well as with breaststroke swimming speed before turn) 1.6 1.81M. Wouda 1.5 1.65J. Malar
