Swimmers tend to be young; hence coaches are in the positions of psychological dominance and thus more easily able to drive their pupils. The ability to reach the top at an early age is a powerful spur to young swimmers. In C.I.T. cardiac output is likely to be one of the main limiting factors to reduction of the resting interval. The fact that swimming is performed in the horizontal plane will increase venous return and hydrostatic pressure will also help.","PeriodicalId":250837,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin - British Association of Sport and Medicine","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1964-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114870136","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lind","doi":"10.1136/bjsm.1.1.2","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1136/bjsm.1.1.2","url":null,"abstract":"During experiments to investigate the problem of muscular fatigue in sustained contractions, the blood flow through the forearm during hand-grip contractions at 1/3 maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) was found to be considerable, rising throughout the contraction (Clarke, Hellon & Lind, 1958). Further experiments showed an increase in blood flow through the whole forearm at all tensions from 30 to 70% MVC as measured by a plethysmograph. Thereafter, using a technique first described by Barcroft & Millen (1939), the temperatures of both active and inactive muscles in the contracting arm were measured before, during and after contractions. When this was done with and without artificial arterial occlusion of the arm, it was possible to show that all or nearly all the increase in blood flow through the arm during sustained contractions went to the active muscles, while the flow through the inactive muscles did not increase (Humphreys and Lind, 1963). In view of the surprisingly high blood pressures found during these contractions, there must have been a marked vasoconstriction in the inactive muscles. Another series of experiments (Lind, Taylor, Humphreys, Kennelly & Donald, 1963) examined both central and peripheral haemodynamic responses of four subjects to hand-grip contractions using more direct methods of measurement. Blood pressure and cardiac output were measured by intravascular techniques while pulse rate was measured by e.c.g. Blood flow through both active and inactive forearms was measured by plethysmograph. The magnitude of the haemodynamic responses may be judged from the actual experimental values from one subject before, during and after a 20% MVC contraction. Whereas the stroke volume increases during rhythmic contractions, it did not increase in these sustained contractions, and the rise in cardiac output appeared to depend solely on the rise in pulse rate. Furthermore, only small changes in systemic vascular resistance were found, compared to the marked fall usually observed during dynamic exercise. The blood flow through the resting forearm did not change in spite of the high blood pressure during work, denoting a vasoconstriction in the non-active muscles.","PeriodicalId":250837,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin - British Association of Sport and Medicine","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1964-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129962608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Study of individual incidents emphasises the fact that at least 75% of them are due to lack of elementary precautions, disregard of safety factors or gross stupidity. To reduce them, which is the fundamental aim of any water safety campaign, a three-fold attack on the problem can be made. Firstly, the circumstances which lead up to the drowning incident must be studied. Secondly, the actual process of drowning should be examined and, thirdly, there is an urgent need for first aid workers and hospital medical staffs to appreciate and apply the new techniques of resuscitation and treatment to these emergencies.","PeriodicalId":250837,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin - British Association of Sport and Medicine","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1964-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126789122","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
