| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Undulatory underwater swimming (UUS) is an important swimming technique after a start and after turns. It was considered that a higher swimming velocity (U) resulted from a higher kick frequency (f), and greater propelling efficiency, i.e., Strouhal number (St) and Froude efficiency (ηF), resulted from a lower f. The aim of this study was to investigate whether changing f affected U and St, ηF plus other kinematics of UUS.
In conclusion, increasing f did not affect U, but decreasing f significantly decreased U. Depending on the swimmer, it was expected that incremental changes in kick frequency may increase the average U, in fact there were three swimmers whose average swimming velocity was improved. Decreasing f had no effect on either ηF or St; however, increasing f had a negative effect on ηF. As for human undulation mode, the wavelength per body length significantly decreased while ηF maintaining , which means a decrement in f seems to be suitable for human undulation training.
