The purpose of this study was to determine the reproducibility of limb power outputs and cardio pulmonary responses, to incremental whole-body exercise using a novel swimming training machine. 8 swimmers with a mean age of 23.7 +/- 4.6 (yrs), stature 1.77 +/- 0.13 (m) and body mass of 74.7 +/- 2.8 (kg) gave informed consent and participated in repeat exercise testing on the machine. All subjects performed 2 incremental exercise tests to exhaustion using front crawl movements. From these tests peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak), peak heart rate (HRpeak), peak power output (W-peak) and individual limb power outputs were determined. Results showed there were no significant differences between test 1 and 2 for any variable at exhaustion, and the CV % ranged from 2.8 to 3.4 %. The pooled mean values were; VO2peak 3.7 +/- 0.65 L. min(-1), HRpeak 178.7 +/- 6.6 b. min(-1) and W-peak 349.7 +/- 16.5 W. The mean contributions to the total power output from the legs and arms were (37.3 +/- 4.1 % and 62.7 +/- 5.1 % respectively). These results show that it is possible to measure individual limb power outputs and cardopulmonary parameters reproducibly during whole-body exercise using this training machine, at a range of exercise intensities.
