Movement evaluation of front crawl swimming: Technical skill versus aesthetic quality.
PloS One 2017
The study aim was to compare expert with non-expert swimmers' rating of the aesthetic and technical qualities of front crawl in video-taped recordings of swimmers with low, middle, and high level proficiency. The results suggest that: i) observers' experience affects their judgment: only the expert observers correctly rated the swimmers' proficiency level; ii) evaluation of movement (technical and aesthetic scores) is correlated with the level of skill as expressed in the kinematics of the observed action (swimming speed, stroke frequency, and stroke length); iii) expert and non-expert observers use different strategies to rate the aesthetic and technical qualities of movement: equating the technical skill with the aesthetic quality is a general rule non-expert observers follow in the evaluation of human movement.
