Download or read book Breakthrough Swimming written by Cecil Colwin and published by Human Kinetics. This book was released on 2002 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Never before has one book taken such a comprehensive look at the evolution, science, and coaching application of competitive swimming. In Breakthrough Swimming, legendary swimming coach and researcher Cecil Colwin provides a rich perspective on the development of the sport and explains major advances in stroke mechanics, training methods, and racing techniques. Accompanied by richly detailed illustrations, this engaging text is one of the most insightful written works on the sport. It makes clear sense out of the scientific principles and puts into context the historical changes in the sport. Not only will you gain a greater understanding of competitive swimming through its origins and evolution, but you'll also gain these valuable skills: - Improve your stroke technique, starts, and turns. - Improve your feel of the water by learning to anticipate and effectively manipulate the reacting flow of the water. - Understand the hydrodynamics of swimming and learn how water reacts to the forces you apply with each swimming stroke. - Improve your conditioning and develop a better training program by understanding the principles of training. - Learn how to design different types of workouts to produce specific physiological effects. - Learn how to plan a seasonal program and how to relate your training to the pace of the race you intend to swim. The book includes a chapter contributed by Dr. David Pyne, sport physiologist to the 2000 Australian Olympic swimming team. Pyne covers the physiology of modern swimming training and the preparation of swimming teams for top-flight international competition. Breakthrough Swimming covers every aspect of competitive swimming from its spawning ground in early 19th-century England to the present day, including the profound changes that occurred in the last decade of the 20th century. The book also explains the societal changes of recent years, such as the advent of professional swimming and the specter of performance-enhancing drugs. Combining history with the latest innovations, Breakthrough Swimming is the definitive work on the past, present, and future of competitive swimming.

Download or read book Swimming Science written by G. John Mullen and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2018-07-27 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the secrets of physiology, hydrodynamics, and other scientific aspects of swimming to enhance your skills and speed! Low-impact, beneficial at any age, and just plain fun, swimming is an excellent workout—and the same scientific principles apply whether you’re competing for a medal or practicing your backstroke in the backyard. Each time you suit up and dive in, your body’s moving parts must work together to propel you through dozens of pounds of water resistance, somehow emulating the movements of species that evolved specifically for the water. What are the physical forces at work when you get in a pool, and what determines whether you will sink or swim? In this enlightening and useful volume, contributors break down every aspect of the sport. Swimming Science covers physiology, psychology, and safety, as well as hydrodynamics, nutrition, and technique. Each chapter examines these topics through a series of practical questions: *What are the forces acting on you when you swim, and how do your muscles best generate propulsion against those forces? *How much protein, salt, and iron should a swimmer consume, and how does energy from carbohydrates compare to energy from fats? *How important is the “swimmer’s physique” in competitive swimming, and is technique or strength more necessary for generating speed? These questions and more are examined with the aid of explanatory diagrams and illustrations. No matter whether you swim for exercise, enjoyment, or athletic achievement, Swimming Science adds a new dimension to the sport. “Swimming Science is a wonderful read for those interested in understanding how extraordinary athletes have been able to swim at incredible speed. But it is also an inspiring and potentially transforming read for ordinary people for whom swimming is simply a love story with the water.” —American Journal of Public Health
