Maximal mechanical power during a taper in elite swimmers
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to inspect the time course of changes in maximal mechanical power (Pmax), torque at power maximum (T), velocity at power maximum (V), and swim performance ([[m.s.].sup.-1]) that occur during the taper. It was found that Pmax, torque and ([[m.s.].sup.-1]) increase as collegiate swimmers taper their volume of training during 3-5 week to optimize their performance.

Physiological loads in the team technical and free routines of synchronized swimmers
Article Abstract:
This study measures blood lactate concentrations in synchronized swimmers to assess the physiological loads in team routines. Results indicate that longer performances cause increases in blood lactate concentration and phosphocreatine stores are the main energy sources during the routine.

Effects of glossopharyngeal pistoning for lung insufflation in elite swimmers
Article Abstract:
Effects of glossopharyngeal pistoning (GP) sessions to lung volumes and buoyancies exceeding maximum inspiratory capacity in a group of extremely well-trained elite swimmers are investigated. Results found that the lung volumes and buoyancies increase by sessions of GP.
