| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The objective of this study was to solve the individual optimum stroke (underwater arm motion) in swimming by constructing the system to measure individual muscle force characteristics. The muscle force characteristics measurement system was constructed by modifying a swim ergometer. Next the stroke motion and hand force of a swimmer were measured by an optical motion capture system and a load cell, then the muscle force characteristics database was constructed. Using the constructed database, the optimum arm stroke was computed.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究は競泳アスリートの個々の筋力特性を考慮した上で，より泳速度を向上させる泳フォームを数理的に解明することを目的としており，水泳においてこのような試みは世界的に見てもまったく行われておらず，学術的見地からも非常に意義深いものである．研究結果が選手およびコーチにフィードバックされてトレーニングにも活かされるようになり，その結果として選手のパフォーマンスが実際に向上すれば，社会的にも大変意義深いものとなる．
