Abstract
The motivation for this article stems from the interest of the author in the biomechanics of competitive backstroke swimming. The results presented are concerned with three aspects of this sports skill: (a) description of the results of an analysis of 100-m backstroke performance and the methods used, (b) techniques for maintaining the competitive environment while undertaking biomechanical research, and (c) a proposed system for on-line recording and its use in the training program of swimmers.
