Popis: Finswimming is a sport where athlete uses one big monofin to produce propulsion. The purpose of this study was to describe relationship between isokinetic strength of different muscle groups and 100 meters finswimming time. Study questions was: what muscle groups have relationship with finswimming time. Methods: 17 international level monfin swimmers, 9 male (age 16,9 ±1,8 yrs., height 180,0 ± 10.0 cm., weight 76.0±6.9 kg) and 8 female finswimmers ( age 17,6 ±4,7 yrs., height 170,0 ± 10.0 cm., weight 68,6 ± 13,5 kg) performed 100 meters monofin surface swim and where also tested within a two days on isokinetic dynamometer (knee, hip and trunk extensors and flexors at angular speeds of 60°/sec ). Force data at angles from 0-90 degrees with 10 degree step were used for correlation. Results: There was a strong correlation (p
