Abstract
IntroductionDue to conflicting evidence (Payton et al., 1999; Vezos et al., 2007), the purpose of this study was to determine whether the breathing action in front crawl (FC) sprint swimming affects upper limb kinematics relative to a non-breathing stroke cycle (SC). MethodTen male competitive swimmers performed two 25m FC sprints: one breathing to their preferred side (Br) and one not breathing (NBr). Both swim trials were performed through a 6.75m3 calibrated space and recorded by six gen-locked JVC KY32 CCD cameras. The calculated variables were: average swim velocity, stroke length, stroke frequency, vertical and lateral hand displacement, elbow angle magnitudes, stroke phase durations and the horizontal and vertical hand acceleration. A paired t-test was used to assess statistical differences between the trials, with a confidence level of p
