(2012). Relationships between kinematics and neuromuscular parameters in breaststroke. In Book of abstracts of the 6th International symposium Science & Swimming. Wroclawhttp://hdl.handle.net/10198/6934The aim of this study was to develop an observation and characterization of a 200m breaststroke event, regarding the relationship between kinematic and neuromuscular parameters. Materials and methods Surface electromyographic signals (EMG) were used to analyze the dynamics of neuromuscular activity muscles on the right side of the body of twelve national elite swimmers. The evaluated muscles were: pectoralis major (PM), biceps brachii (BB), triceps brachii (TB) and anterior deltoid (DA). A couple of cameras (underwater camera and another above the surface of the water) were used for providing a dual projection that permits analysis of kinematic variables (Speed, SF, SL) over the 200 m breaststroke and we also executed collections of blood lactate before and after the test.engSwimmingElite swimmersKinematicsEMGconference object
