Ocean swimming... and biomechanics

Anthony Blazevich (ecu.edu.au/schools/medical-and-health-sciences/our-research/school-research-areas/sports-science-and-exercise-medicine/centre-for-exercise-and-sports-science-research-cessr/researchers-and-staff/profiles/director/professor-anthony-blazevich) is a Professor of Biomechanics in the School of Medical and Health Sciences at Edith Cowan University. He is also the head of the Centre for Exercise and Sports Science Research (ro.ecu.edu.au/rcessr) , so is a fabulous person to talk to about biomechanics, body types and how our physiology affects our ability to move through water (theconversation.com/the-science-of-underwater-swimming-how-staying-submerged-gives-olympians-the-winning-edge-163721) . Listen in to hear how you could tweak your stroke for quicker times, and why we still may see many more world records in the pool (and ocean). He has also conducted extremely interesting research on the benefits (or not) of stretching (theconversation.com/to-stretch-or-not-to-stretch-before-exercise-what-you-need-to-know-about-warm-ups-151190) .
