However, there is no up-to-date review in the literature clarifying this topic. Thus, a systematic narrative review was performed to update the body of knowledge on active drag in swimming through numerical and experimental methods.engActive dragWater resistanceBiomechanicsAssisted swimmingResisted swimmingNumerical and experimental methods used to evaluate active drag in swimming: a systematic narrative reviewjournal article10.3389/fphys.2022.938658
