Abstract

A new method of investigation of athletes´ motion takes into consideration the changes of the principal moments of inertia and their directions during the interval of the motion, because these characterize the efficiency and the neuro-muscular regulation of the motion. This paper presents a comparative analysis of two top swimmers (Sw1, Sw2) and points out the significant difference caused by their alternate motion pattern.
