evidence-based practical information in advancing all aspects of

swimming performance, the Journal of Sports Science and Medicine will

publish a Special Issue on Swimming in end 2013. Swimming is one of the

world’s most popular sports enjoyed by millions of people of all ages

and abilities. Nowadays there is also a great interest in other types of

aquatic activities, including fin swimming, head-out aquatic exercises,

Science and Medicine calls on authors to submit original research and

specific reviews that enriches the current understanding of swimming and

following topics:

1) The new finding relating to hydrodynamics such as CFD (computational

fluid dynamics) and PIV (particle image velocimetry).

2) Biomechanics of swimming (kinematics, EMG, etc) & new testing device

3) Mechanical and physiological components of fatigue

4) Hypoxic training

5) Interval training, training load & training modelling
