When I swam in high school, 20+ years ago now, we would wear drag suits to practice, because it made sense, make it harder to swim in practice.
They now wear leggings or bodysuits in practice because they determined that swimming with the extra drag negatively effected your stroke, and that it’s better to achieve mechanical perfection through consistent practice.
People study the shit out of this stuff, really takes the fun out of everything.
Plenty. Olympics is very scientific. That level of sports is where you get shaving your body and wearing spandex to ride faster in the first place they aren’t myths.
I wonder if anyone ever did scientific research on leg hair drag

I do a lot of bicycling. I have no idea if the lycra bibs make you ride faster, but they sure as fuck do help prevent the chafing.
That level of sport is also where you have sponsors which you don’t want to loose by being outside the norm.
