| Abstract | The aim of this study was to assess changes in leg-kick frequency during a 200 m front crawl swimming event, performed at maximal intensity, as well as its influence to 200 m front crawl performance. Ten male swimmers performed 200 m front crawl at maximal intensity. Six video cameras (two aerial and four underwater) were used to record four complete non-breathing cycles, one for each 50 m lap (APASystem was used for processing). Kick frequency was the inverse of the time to complete one kick cycle, defined as the period between two consecutive maximum vertical coordinates of the right foot. Repeated measures one-way ANOVA, linear regressions, and within and between subjects correlation were computed. This study evidenced a decreased in kick frequency with velocity and further increase in response to fatigue, highlighting a greater importance of the leg-kick contribution to propulsion. |
