This work consists on the analysis of two problems related to the kinematic analysis of the swimmer's separate volumes. The first problem was to analyze the effect of the swim training and the influence of the years of swim training on the separate volumes of the trunk, during tidal volume and vital capacity, maneuver using a kinematic analysis. Two groups were used: Control Group and the Swimmer Group. From the 3D coordinates of 30 land markers fixed on the trunk, the volumes of 4 separate compartments of the trunk (superior thorax, inferior thorax, superior abdomen and inferior abdomen) were calculated in function of time. From the curves of the separate volumes, the coefficient of variation and the correlation coefficient between the compartments were calculated for both groups and compared between groups (ANOVA, p<0.05). The linear regression between the coefficient of variation of the separate volumes and the years of swim training and the linear regression between the correlation coefficient and the years of swim training (p<0.05) were calculated. The results indicated that the swim training affects the separate volumes of swimmers causing higher relative variations of the abdomen compartments and a greater coordination between the compartments of the trunk during the vital capacity maneuver. These results suggest that the years of swim training affect the separate thoracoabdominal volumes during tidal volume and when higher respiratory efforts are required, reflecting the increased utilization of the diaphragm. The second problem was to develop a 3D underwater kinematic analysis system of separate volumes of the trunk (DvideoSub). The system consisted of up to five Basler cameras (fc602A) enclosed in housings specially designed and connected to a single desktop PC for online data acquisition. Software interfaces were developed for acquisition, camera controls, measurements and 3D reconstruction starting from a previously proposed system, named Dvideo. The system was evaluated according to the following analyzing tests: the effect of the polycarbonates lens (housing); the effect of the optic correction out of the water with the calibration of the fixed and mobile system of calibration; the effect of the optic correction underwater; the effect of the water; the errors of reconstruction of known points and a rigid body in movement accuracy. From the distance of rigid body in function of time we have calculated the mean, the total error, the RMS, RMS%, the absolute mean error and the accuracy. The application of the system for the analysis of the separate volumes of the submerged trunk was analyzed from the calculation of the correlation coefficient between the compartments of the trunk in vital capacity maneuver out and underwater. The results showed that the polycarbonates lens influence in the distance total error, the optic correction proposed improves the distance total error with the calibration of the fixed system and with the use of the mobile system for calibration the results have not presented improvement, suggesting that this must be reformulated. The RMS error values obtained out of the water (2.4mm ±0.01) and underwater (2.0mm ±0.01) were similar and they were lower than the values found in (Gourgoulis, , 2008) (4.6±0.5 out of water, 5.9 ±1.5 underwater). The absolute mean error was 1.0mm out of the water and 2.8mm underwater, which are in accordance to the values found in literature (from 0.5mm to 11.6mm). The results showed the reliability of the system for the underwater three-dimensional kinematic analysis. Concluding, the analyzed variables showed that the swim practice may lead to a respiratory pattern and the quantity of years of swim training may have an influence in stabilizing this pattern. The proposed system presented satisfactory results and can be used to underwater 3D kinematic analysis with different objectives. (AU) | |
