@misc{10481/62650, year = {2015}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10481/62650}, abstract = {Firstly, it was studied the relationship between relative force (Frel) of the lower limbs in a isotonic Lunge test, with the performance in a swimming kick start (SS). Afterwards, were applied two Postactivation-Potentiation (PAP) specific warm ups in order to analyze their effect in performance considering the Frel of the subjects. Trained swimmers (n=14) volunteered in this study. Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients were used to verify the relationship between relative force and kinematic variables of a SS. Results revealed high correlation between relative force and performance in SS (Dive Distance: R2=0.872, p<0.001; Horizontal Hip Velocity: R2=0.308, p=0.049; Time to 15m: R2=-0.813, p<0.001). After PAP, swimmers with higher relative force showed a higher improvement on the kinematic variables of SS than those with lower values of strength.}, organization = {CTS-527: Actividad física y deportiva en el medio acuático}, keywords = {Warm-Up}, keywords = {Swimming starts}, keywords = {PAP}, title = {Relative force and PAP in swimming start performance}, author = {Cuenca Fernández, Francisco and Taladriz, Sonia and López Contreras, Gracia and de la Fuente, Blanca and Argüelles, Javier and Arellano Colomina, Raúl}, }
