S2 E4 - Lacate Testing and Research in Swimming
Research on swimming is broad and essential for the evolution of the sport. The level of swimming related scientifc research is very advanced, as is the level of coaching. However, as both fields are very demanding, their connection, in terms of knowledge and experience diffusion, is difficult.
In-depth reading of scientific papers is needed for a thorough interpretation of their results. However, this is usually time consuming and difficult for non-accustomed readers. The short display (shorter than their abstract) of interesting articles in a simple manner, without meddling, for someone to figure out if an article is helpful (and then go on with full-text reading), is our main intention. The purpose is to assist swimming coaches and relevant sport scientists to keep up with the swimming research progress.
So sswimt comes to accelerate the dissemination of information and updates on swimming research! Our goal is to set off the abundant information provided by sports scientists and swimming coaches, thanks to whom swimming is evolving constantly. Hope you will enjoy it!
