Synchronization model in Breaststroke on elite athletes and adapted Swimming: A Systematic Review

View document

Bibliographic Details
Summary:Background: Synchronization model in breaststroke has been studied in elite swimmers for thepast years, but a gap is around adapted swim and coordination in different types of disability.Objective: The aim of this review was to identify and synthesise the most significant literatureabout synchronization model in breaststroke on elite athletes of swimming and adapted swim.Methods: We performed a systematic review of Web of ScienceTM Core Collection, Pubmed andScielo databases according to PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews andMeta-analyses) guidelines. The following keywords were used: “swim*” and “breaststroke”.Each word was associated with the terms “synchronization model”, “sync*” and “elite athlete”. Inanother search were used the words “adapted swim” and “breaststroke”, other “breaststroke” and“coordination” and (“leg” or “arm” or “propulsion” or “recovery”). Finally, the keywords“handicapped” and “swimming”. The selection was for the original articles in English containingrelevant data about breaststroke, elite athletes in swimming and adapted swim and coordination inbreaststroke.Results: The search returned 324 records. After seeing duplication, 262 articles remain (wewithdrew 62) and then screening against set criteria, was done. In the end, 24 papers wereselected this systematic review. The most common topics of analysis were about breaststroke,elite athletes in swimming and adapted swim and coordination in breaststroke.Conclusions: For different factors, breaststroke shows a complete and complex synchronizationmodel that can be different in athletes with or without disabilities.The limitations detected in the review studies suggest that future research should includebreaststroke coordination in people with distinct disabilities.
