Ryan Keating

Ryan Keating is a PhD Researcher at the School of Sport, focusing on sports biomechanics and swimming performance analysis. His work spans drag force estimation, hydrodynamic modeling, and longitudinal athlete monitoring.

• Institution: School of Sport (unspecified university)
• Research Focus: Sports biomechanics, swimming technique optimization, drag force analysis

Keating's research integrates experimental and computational methods to quantify passive drag in swimming, analyze load-velocity relationships, and develop reliability protocols for in-water strength profiling. His work addresses national/international swimmer performance across stroke types and training phases.

Recent publications (2024-2025) emphasize: hydrodynamic resistance modeling, gender-specific sprint performance metrics, longitudinal load-velocity tracking, and tethered swimming diagnostics. Collaborative outputs frequently involve researchers like Kennedy and McCabe.

Scientific Awards:

• Best Poster Presentation (2024)

Keating participates in practitioner engagement via invited talks (e.g., Swim Ireland Coach CPD) and contributes to SDG-related research areas including athlete health and sustainable sports science applications.
