The aim of this study was to classify and identify young swimmers' performance, and biomechanical determinant factors, and understand if both sexes can be clustered together. Thirty-eight swimmers of national level (22 boys: 15.92 ± 0.75 years and 16 girls: 14.99 ± 1.06 years) were assessed. Performance (swim speed at front crawl stroke) and a set of kinematic, efficiency, kinetic, and hydrodynamic variables were measured. Variables related to kinetics and efficiency (p < .001) were the ones that better discriminated the clusters. All three clusters included girls. Based on the interaction of these determinant factors, there are girls who can train together with boys. These findings indicate that not understanding the importance of the interplay between such determinants may lead to performance suppression in girls.
本研究旨在对青少年游泳运动员的表现进行分类和识别，并分析其生物力学决定因素，同时探讨男女运动员是否可以归为同一类别。研究共纳入 38 名国家级游泳运动员（男运动员 22 名，年龄为 15.92±0.75 岁；女运动员 16 名，年龄为 14.99±1.06 岁），对他们的运动表现（自由泳速度）和一系列运动学、效率、动力学和流体力学变量进行了评估。结果表明，能够更好地区分聚类的变量是与动力学和效率相关的变量（p<.001）。所有三个聚类中都包括女孩。基于这些决定因素的相互作用，可以发现一些女孩可以与男孩一起训练。这些发现表明，如果不了解这些决定因素相互作用的重要性，可能会导致女孩的运动表现受到抑制。
