Thanks to the participation of Ivo
Ferretti (Biomechanics Area Responsible since 1995
for the Italian Swimming Federation) and his team,
as an optional service we can offer to each participant
also a DVD containing the external/underwater swim
video recording with a customized comment, also featuring
stop-motions showing the critical areas. Such critical
areas are displayed through a computer-based video
analysis (both above and below the water’s surface)
considering the swimming technique, the start and
the turn (one stroke analysis “SwimLAB1”, two strokes
analysis“SwimLAB2”).
We can provide also a more sophisticated
analysis named “velocimeter” capable to real time
monitor the swim speed and the instantaneous and mean
accelerations. With this tool are mainly analyzed
the start, the turn and the following underwater periods
(see “SwimLAB3”).
Las but not least we can propose also
the use of the “instrumented paddles”, allowing to
monitor the water pressure on the palm and on the
back of your hand, generating graphs that are describing
the specific profile of your swim stroke (in other
words, the “quality” of your action) (see “SwimLAB4”).
