ABSTRACT
The present investigation is an attempt to give a view of the complexity of energy metabolism in sprint swimming with the help of a differential equation simulation model From this computer simulation it becomes clear, that the glycolytic pathway play an important role early in 50 m sprint swimming. This depends on the quick PCr- depletion to continue the swim in maximal speed. The role of VO2 for 50 m shall not be underestimated, too.
