Journal Article
Psycharakis, S. G., & Sanders, R. H. (2009)
Validity of the use of a fixed point for intracycle velocity calculations in swimming. Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport, 12(2), 262-265. doi:10.1016/j.jsams.2007.11.008
The intracycle velocity (V) of a fixed point on a swimmer’s body, usually the hip, is frequently calculated as a direct indication of the intracycle V of the centre of mass (C...
