Research on the Index System of Freestyle Swimming Flip Turn of Elite Male Swimmers
Objective:To objective evaluate the top five indicators with the highest weight in freestyle flip turn effec-tiveness through data analysis of eight elite male swimmers and provide theoretical optimization suggestions.Meth-ods:The indicators of freestyle flip turns were established through relevant literature and expert interview,the kine-matic data of the athletes'flip turns were obtained through Klistler and Dartfish,the measured weight was obtained by applying the CRITIC-entropy weight method.Results:The top five indexes with the highest weight of freestyle flip turn were peak stirrup wall force(13.53%),speed before flip turn(9.60%),wall contact time(9.45%),somersault movement time(7.07%)and angle of the hips during the push-off(6.15%)with a cumulative weight of 45.80%.Conclusion:1)The cumulative weight of swim approach distance,outlet water distance,cen-troid distance and swim approach speed amounted to26.40%,therefore,these influencing factors deserve further in-depth study;2)accelerating speed before the flip,avoiding head lift before the flip,ensuring proper hip flex-ion angle for the turn,increasing hip flexion angle speed and stabilizing wall contact time while increasing peak stirrup force contribute to the flip turn performance of elite male swimmers.
