Reliability of force and impulse measures in tethered swimming for expert swimmers

Résumé

Tethered swimming is a widely used tool to measure propulsive force of swimmers. This method is currently one of the most relevant and robust for assessing the performance level of swimmers. Although tethered swimming is not exactly similar to real swimming (Samson et al, 2019), it is recognized as a specific method to evaluate propulsive force in water and thus more ecological than weight benches. Kjendlie and Thorsvald (2006) have shown that this method offers a test-retest reliability and pointed out that two trials could be enough in order to measure propulsive force. They also showed that there is a familiarization with tethered swimming for expert swimmers. However, the protocol was not very precise concerning temporality of measurements (in particular the number of days between each test). However, in the context of a longitudinal scientific swimmers follow-up, it is important to ensure that variations in measured force are not due to familiarization with the measurement method or device but to technical and/or physical progress (or on the contrary, a drop in force due to a state of fatigue). Our study therefore aims to clarify familiarization effect of tethered swimming for expert swimmers. In order to answer those questions, measurements were performed in three days in a row sessions and gather elite french swimmers.
