Abstract(s)
Based on the concept of critical velocity (CV), a new trend has
been suggested with the aim to determine anaerobic
performances. Using short distances trials, the concept of
anaerobic critical velocity (AnCV) seems to represent the
functional anaerobic capacity of swimmers. Marinho et al.
(2011) found a linear relationship between AnCV and 50 m
swimming performance (S50) in young swimmers, suggesting
that AnCV could be a relevant parameter to monitor and
prescribe anaerobic training sets. The purpose of this study
was to analyze the relationship between AnCV and swimming
performance in master swimmers. Also, ascertain if AnCV may
be determined based in two or three swimming distances, 15,
25 and 50 m (T15, T25 and T50, respectively).
