Laboratory-based ergometry for swimmers: a systematic review

摘要

INTRODUCTION: The first widely-available dry-land training machines for swimmers were introduced about 40 years ago. They were designed so that swimmers could perform resistance exercise whilst more-closely replicating the movements of swimming, than when using other gymnasium-based resistance training machines. These machines were subsequently adapted and used as measurement tools (ergometers) in an array swimming research study. This narrative review categorizes and summarizes what has been shown by the research studies that have utilized this laboratory-based ergometry.
