A Master’s thesis at the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences discusses the analysis of certain kinematic variables in the arm movement pathway in 50-meter swimming

A Master’s thesis at the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences at the University of Samarra, titled “An Analytical Study of Certain Kinematic Variables in the Arm Movement Pathway and Their Relationship with the Performance of the 50-Meter Freestyle Swim for the 16-18 Year Age Group,” was presented by the student (Salem Saad Salem).

In his thesis, the student aimed to identify certain kinematic variables in the arm movement pathway and their relationship with the stroke and overall performance, in addition to studying the arm movement pathway both in and out of the water.

The results of the thesis indicated correlations between the kinematic variables—time, distance, and speed—and the stroke time and performance. Significant compatibility was also found between the kinematic variable (horizontal hand distance) and performance. Furthermore, the “S” movement pathway emerged consistently among all study participants while in the water.

It is worth mentioning that the student is an employee at the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences and completed his academic journey there to join the teaching staff. The Media and Government Communication Department at the University of Samarra extends its heartfelt congratulations to the employee (Salem Saad Salem), wishing him continued success in his academic career.
