Table 3. Specification and description of the parameters of the body segments mutual displacement in fin swimming turn technique, recorded and analyzed during the research.
Tuck Index |
Max Knee flexion |
Point when the hip was at its minimum distance from the wall during foot contact and was expressed as a percentage of the trochanteric height
|
Angle of the knee flexion at the moment of Tuck Index estimation |
Push-off Angle |
Angle between the longitudinal axis if the swimmer’s body and the horizontal line at the moment when the feet lost contact with the wall. |
Glide Angle |
Angle between the longitudinal axis if the swimmer’s body and the horizontal line at the moment of the knee joints extension begins after push-off. |
