New features in SmartPaddle Analysis Center There are two new action buttons in the analysis center. The green button on the right enables user to download the time-dependent force data. The white button on the left downloads the key parameters that are presented in the table below. In addition to the new action buttons, average
Trainesense SmartPaddles provide insights on what action to take towards improving swimming stroke efficiency. Small changes in swimming propulsive forces can improve velocity with each stroke and result in performance gains and better race times. Trainesense SmartPaddles provide insights on what action to take towards improving swimming stroke efficiency. Targets: SmartPaddle measurements provide a means
Why some swimmers are able to swim significantly faster with smaller average force? I tried to answer this question by looking at the acceleration of the hand stroke. We know that when the velocity of the hand increases in backward direction, it produces high force forward and increasing speed of the swimmer. If the velocity
2018 fall season is coming to an end. For the SmartPaddle users this was the first season when a bigger group of people used regular force measurements to assist their daily training. In the Finnish Swimming Championships 33% of the participating clubs are using SmartPaddle. The SmartPaddle users were doing well in the competition and it
SM-uinnit Vaasassa ovat toiset pääkilpailut joihin valmistautuessa on päästy nauttimaan tarkan voiman mittauksen tuomista hyödyistä. Käyttäjäkunta on laajentunut 2018 vuoden aikana muutamista koekäyttäjistä jo laajemmaksi yhteisöksi joka on aktiivisesti jakanut kokemuksiaan ja auttanut toisiaan eteenpäin. Jo kauden aikana on tullut useampia monen sekunnin parannuksia ennätyksissä. Mielenkiintoista on nähdä että mitä pääkilpailuissa tapahtuu ! Haastattelimme muutamia
Ammattilais triathlonistin kauden päätavoite on edessä ensi viikonloppuna. Osa pääkilpailuun valmistautumista on vetää yhteen, että miten tähän on tultu: mistä lähdettiin, mitä tehtiin ja mitä saatiin aikaiseksi. Kilpailusuoritukseen vaikuttaa aina nippu asioita mitä ei voi kontrolloida. Mitä paremmin tiedostaa sen mitä kauden aikana on saatu kontrolliin, sitä vähemmän vaikutusta oman kontrollin ulkopuolella olevilla asioilla on.
After a swimmer has learned a swimming technique with reasonably low resistance, it’s time to improve the efficiency of the strokes. There are two main factors influencing the efficiency: timing of the strokes and direction of the force. This time we focus on the latter. Swimmers produce force in all directions with their hand strokes,
Trainesense started consulting Kaisa Sali on her swimming in December 2017. See earlier blog discussing the start of the co-operation and her own blog “Me as a swimmer”. Getting ready for first competitions In March we met with Kaisa in her training camp in Mallorca. We summarised the achievements and learnings from the three-month period
Antti Vuorikoski discusses below his experience after the first SmartPaddle measurement session. The original text in Finnish at the bottom. Below translation into English and Swedish. “Sure, I can swim. Do I benefit from using the SmartPaddles? “These were my main thoughts when I agreed to participate in the SmartPaddle test swim, organized by my
During the 2017-18 season, Swimming Canada’s High Performance Centre – Ontario sport science staff have been trialing the Trainesense SmartPaddle. The team’s biomechanist, Ryan Atkison, has been the primary user and is very happy with the results to date. “When we were first exposed to the SmartPaddle, our initial reaction was that this information could
