Most load-velocity profiling work lives in sprinting on land. But Ryan Keating, Strength and Conditioning Coach at the Northern Ireland Sports Institute, has spent four years applying the same principles in a pool. In this episode he walks through how and why the 1080 Sprint became the centerpiece of his PhD research, what resisted swimming profiling actually looks like in practice, and what the data reveals about swimmers that gym testing simply cannot
The core finding is practical: strength numbers in the weight room don't reliably predict performance in the water. Load-velocity profiling in the pool gives coaches a direct measure of who is strong in their sport environment and who is fast, and those two qualities don't always show up in the same athlete
Topics covered:
-Why gym-based strength and conditioning has limited transfer to swimming
-Load protocols for swimming: 1-5-9kg for males and 1-3-5kg for females
-Why 10 meters of swimming is enough to build a reliable load-velocity profile
-How technique preservation changes load prescription in water
-Using V0 and L0 to identify a swimmer's needs
-Velocity-based feedback in the pool and how athletes self-regulate based on live data
-Assisted swimming and passive drag profiling as an emerging application
-Standardization as the key advantage of the 1080 across international swim programs
The conversation closes with a look at what's still unexplored, including assisted swimming, isokinetics in the weight room for swimmers, and how intervention research needs to catch up with the profiling work already being done
