| Research Abstract |
The present study aimed to examine the determinants of swimming performance in elite swimmers by the physiological and mechanical analysis, and to develop new training methods. Our results suggest the performance of the elite swimmers was not necessarily related to physiological factors, but that it was well related to mechanical (technical) factors such as higher propulsive power and propelling efficiency, and lower drag. Also, it is demonstrated that high-intensity sprint training and push-off training developed in this study would enhance maximal propulsive power and anaerobic capacity and consequently improve the performance in elite swimmers.
