Recreational swimmers show greater upper-lower limb coordination variability in breaststroke than competitive swimmers. Analysis revealed distinct coordination profiles among recreational swimmers, suggesting varied movement strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Sports Science
  • Motor Control

Background:

  • Understanding inter-individual variability in swimming coordination is crucial for technique optimization.
  • Breaststroke coordination involves complex upper-lower limb interactions.
  • Previous research has not fully explored the diverse coordination patterns within recreational swimmers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare upper-lower limb coordination variability between recreational and competitive swimmers.
  • To identify distinct coordination profiles within recreational swimmers.
  • To analyze the elbow-knee continuous relative phase (CRP) in breaststroke.

Main Methods:

  • Twenty-four recreational and 24 competitive swimmers performed 25m breaststroke at 80% maximal speed.

  • Underwater and aerial side views were used for kinematic analysis.
  • Elbow-knee continuous relative phase (CRP) was calculated from digitized joint kinematics.

    • Main Results:

    • Recreational swimmers exhibited significantly higher inter-individual variability in limb coordination (38.1°) compared to competitive swimmers (19.4°).
    • The mean CRP curve topography differed, showing a 'W-shape' for recreational swimmers and an 'inverse U-shape' for competitive swimmers.
    • Coordination profiling identified three distinct clusters classifying recreational swimmers' coordination patterns.

    Conclusions:

    • Recreational swimmers display a wider range of breaststroke coordination strategies than competitive swimmers.
    • The identified coordination profiles offer insights into diverse motor learning pathways in recreational swimmers.
    • Further research can explore the functional implications of these different coordination profiles.
