abstract
Time limit at the minimum velocity that elicits maximal oxygen
consumption (TLim-v O2max) was studied both in flume
(Billat et al., 1996) and in normal swimming conditions
(Fernandes et al., 2003). While no studies have been carried
out based on other swimming techniques than freestyle, the
purpose of this experiment was to characterize, and compare,
TLim-v O2max in the four competitive strokes, as well as to
observe its relationships with two major performance determinants:
O2max and anaerobic threshold (AnT).
