Kinematic differences between front crawl sprint and distance swimmers at sprint pace (2011)
Journal Article
McCabe, C., Psycharakis, S., & Sanders, R. (2011). Kinematic differences between front crawl sprint and distance swimmers at sprint pace. Journal of Sports Sciences, 29, 115-123. https://doi.org/10.1080/02640414.2010.523090

The purpose of this study was to use three-dimensional methods to determine whether there are distinct kinematic differences between sprint and distance front crawl swimmers when swimming at a sprint pace. Seven sprint and eight distance specialists... Read More about Kinematic differences between front crawl sprint and distance swimmers at sprint pace.

A longitudinal analysis on the validity and reliability of ratings of perceived exertion for elite swimmers (2011)
Journal Article
Psycharakis, S. (2011). A longitudinal analysis on the validity and reliability of ratings of perceived exertion for elite swimmers. Journal of strength and conditioning research, 25, 420-426. https://doi.org/10.1519/JSC.0b013e3181bff58c

The purpose of this study was to examine longitudinally the reliability and validity of ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) for monitoring exercise intensity in elite swimmers, with the percentage of maximum heart rate (%HRmax) and the blood lactate...

Shoulder and hip roll differences between breathing and non-breathing conditions in front crawl swimming (2011)
Journal Article
Psycharakis, S., & McCabe, C. (2011). Shoulder and hip roll differences between breathing and non-breathing conditions in front crawl swimming. Journal of Biomechanics, 44, 1752-1756. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiomech.2011.04.004

The effects of breathing on body roll have been previously investigated for the roll of the whole trunk only. The purposes of this study were: to calculate separately the shoulder roll (SR) and hip roll (HR) of swimmers during front crawl for non-bre...

Assessment of accuracy, reliability and force measurement errors for a tethered swimming apparatus (2011)
Journal Article
Psycharakis, S., Paradisis, G., & Zacharogiannis, E. (2011). Assessment of accuracy, reliability and force measurement errors for a tethered swimming apparatus. International journal of performance analysis in sport, 11, 410-416

Researchers frequently use purpose-built devices to calculate propulsive forces during tethered swimming. Although such devices are subject to force measurement errors, no specific methods have been suggested in the swimming literature for the estima...
