The Effect of Training on the Relationships among Velocity, Stroke Rate and Distance per Stroke in Untrained Subjects Swimming the Breaststroke.

Saito, Mitsuru

Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, v53 n4 p323-29 Dec 1982

The velocity, stroke rate, and distance per stroke of l68 male high school students in Japan were studied before and after they received training in the breaststroke. The increase in their swimming velocity resulted from an increase in the distance covered per stroke, not from a faster stroke rate. (Author/PP)
