Passive Drag in Young Swimmers: Effects of Body Composition, Morphology and Gliding Position

Passive Drag in Young Swimmers: Effects of Body Composition, Morphology and Gliding Position

The passive drag (Dp) during swimming is affected by the swimmer’s morphology, body density and body position. We evaluated the relative contribution of morphology, body composition, and body position adjustments in the prediction of a swimmer’s Dp. This observational study exami...
