The objective of this study was to analyze the acceleration of the hip<br />

generated dur<strong>in</strong>g front crawl. The swimmers (n=71) performed 25 meters<br />

at maximum speed. 3D acceleration was registered. Swimm<strong>in</strong>g time<br />

doma<strong>in</strong> acceleration signal was analysed. Root Mean Square (RMS)<br />

parameter was calculated <strong>in</strong> the three directions. Also, RMS <strong>in</strong>dexes<br />

were calculated to relate the directions <strong>in</strong> twos. The results showed differences<br />

between the different parameters. Speed correlated positively<br />

with the RMS values: anterior-posterior (X), medium-lateral (Y) <strong>and</strong><br />

superior-<strong>in</strong>ferior (Z) directions (p
