| Research Abstract |
This study aims to investigate that relationship between high elbow technique and swimming performance in front crawl swimming. The arm stroke motions of subjects were captured three-dimensionally (3-D) at 60 Hz during 25 m front crawl swimming. As a result, the subjects were maintaining high elbow position by inducing the inter rotation angular velocity of the shoulder. Therefore, to maintain high elbow position, the inter rotation motion of the shoulder will be important for performance in front crawl swimming. Moreover, muscle activity during stroke motion was studied by use of EMG (electromyogram).
