ANALYSIS OF SELECTED KINEMATIC AND PHYSIOLOGICAL PERFORMANCE DETERMINANTS DURING INCREMENTAL TESTING IN ELITE SWIMMERS.

The article discusses a study to examine the relationships between selected kinematic and physiological parameters and their influence on performance during increment exercise among elite swimmers in international competitions. Stroke rate, stroke length, velocity and blood lactate concentration were measured for each 200-meter event. The longitudinal performance of a male swimmer was evaluated by four tests. The fastest times reached in the test were generally slower than expected.
