There have been no studies of the musculoskeletal analysis for swimming so far because of the difficulty to estimate the fluid force acting on the swimmer’s whole body, although such analysis will provide useful information for the athlete swimmer’s training and coaching. Therefore, we developed a musculoskeletal simulator for swimming by integrating the AnyBody Modeling System and our simulation model SWUM (SWimming hUman Model), which enables to calculate fluid force acting on the whole body during swimming. In this webcast, how to integrate AnyBody and SWUM, simulation results of animations for crawl, breast, back and butterfly strokes, and a comparison with EMG are presented.
