How informative are the vertical buoyancy and the prone gliding tests to assess young swimmers’ hydrostatic and hydrodynamic profiles?

The aim of this research was to develop a path-flow analysis model to highlight the relationships between buoyancy and prone gliding tests and some selected anthropometrical and biomechanical variables. Thirty-eight young male swimmers (12.97 ± 1.05 years old) with several competitive levels were ev...
