    Saavedra, J.M. et al.: ANALYSIS OF PACING STRATEGIES IN 10 KM OPEN... Kinesiology 50(2018)2:243-250 ANALYSIS OF PACING STRATEGIES IN 10 KM OPEN WATER SWIMMING IN INTERNATIONAL EVENTS Jose M. Saavedra1, Ingi Einarsson1, Damir Sekulic2, and Antonio Garcia-Hermoso3 1Physical Activity, Physical Education, Sport and Health Research Centre (PAPESH), Sports Science Department, School of Science and Engineering, Reykjavik, Iceland 2Faculty of Kinesiology, University of Split, Split, Croatia 3Laboratorio de Ciencias de la Actividad Física, el Deporte y la Salud, Facultad de Ciencias Médicas, Universidad de Santiago de Chile (USACH), Santiago de Chile, Chile Original scientific paper https://doi.org/10.26582/k.50.2.3 UDC: 612.172: 796.322055.2 Abstract: The purpose of this study was to ascertain the pacing strategies employed in 10 km open water swimming events, and to define which split time was most determinant for the final performance as a function of sex and classification in International Championships of the highest level. Six international competitions over the last five years were analysed retrospectively: Olympic Games, World Championships, and European Championships. The data corresponded to a total of 437 swimmers̕ competition histories (257 men, 180 women). A two-way analysis of variance (sex [2 levels: men, women], classification [3 levels: 1st to 3rd, 4th to 8th, 9th and below]) was performed for each split (0-2.5 km, 2.6-5.0 km, 5.1-7.5 km, and 7.6 to 10 km) and half (0-5 km, 5.1-10 km). The Bonferroni post-hoc test was used to compare means, and Pearson᾿s simple correlation coefficient to determine correlations between the split times and the final performance (total time).

  • Nutrition Considerations for Open-Water Swimming
    International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism, 2014, 24, 373 -381 http://dx.doi.org/10.1123/ijsnem.2014-0018 © 2014 Human Kinetics, Inc. www.IJSNEM-Journal.com CONSENSUS STATEMENT Nutrition Considerations for Open-Water Swimming Gregory Shaw, Anu Koivisto, David Gerrard, and Louise M. Burke Open-water swimming (OWS) is a rapidly developing discipline. Events of 5–25 km are featured at FINA World Championships, and the international circuit includes races of 5–88 km. The Olympic OWS event, introduced in 2008, is contested over 10 km. Differing venues present changing environmental conditions, including water and ambient temperatures, humidity, solar radiation, and unpredictable tides. Furthermore, the duration of most OWS events (1–6 hr) creates unique physiological challenges to thermoregulation, hydration status, and muscle fuel stores. Current nutrition recommendations for open-water training and competition are either an extension of recommendations from pool swimming or are extrapolated from other athletic populations with similar physiological requirements. Competition nutrition should focus on optimizing prerace hydration and glycogen stores. Although swimmers should rely on self-supplied fuel and fluid sources for shorter events, for races of 10 km or greater, fluid and fuel replacement can occur from feeding pontoons when tactically appropriate. Over the longer races, feeding pontoons should be used to achieve desirable targets of up to 90 g/ hr of carbohydrates from multitransportable sources. Exposure to variable water and ambient temperatures will play a significant role in determining race nutrition strategies. For example, in extreme environments, thermo- regulation may be assisted by manipulating the temperature of the ingested fluids.
