How to increase breaststroke speed Details 0 3

3.Four details to improve the speed of the breaststroke leg press.

Finally, I wish you more and more physical strength!!

Don't look up after kicking your legs, stretch your hands straight, your body will automatically swim forward, wait until the breath in your mouth is gone, and then raise your head with your hands, so that you can save effort and won't choke on water. Like the upstairs swimmer, tired and easy to choke.

First of all, make sure that the posture is correct.

Then, increase the amplitude of action, speed up the frequency of action, the resistance of head-up ventilation is relatively large, you can appropriately raise your head twice to breathe once, of course, the speed of breaststroke mainly depends on the explosive power of your legs.

There are two very, very important points:

First: When entering the water, be sure to bring your arms together quickly.

Second: When pedaling with both feet, the knees should be brought together as much as possible, and the feet should be turned outward.

NOTE: If viewed from behind, your legs are shaped in a figure of eight. Instead of the "丫" type.

For breaststroke, the biggest bottleneck restricting speed is resistance, because breaststroke is the most resistant stroke in the four styles when swimming, so the drag reduction of breaststroke is more important than other strokes, and we must give priority to dealing with resistance.

It does not produce any propulsion force for the initial stroke action of the arm, so when doing this action, we need to do our best to balance the light action, although the outward action of one arm will produce a certain amount of pushing resistance, but fortunately, because the breaststroke is both hands outward at the same time, the rapid push resistance generated by the outward action of one arm will be offset by the outward action of the other arm, but this does not mean that we can stroke outward very hard, and the lighter action also has certain advantages for saving physical energy.

At present, the mainstream paddling trajectory is roughly divided into two kinds, one is to start to do the high elbow grasping action backwards immediately when the hands reach the width of the shoulder, and the backward action of the forearm appears in the outward paddling route, the advantage of this paddling action is that the propulsion force is relatively early, but the disadvantage is that the inward paddling route will be shortened.

Ask a professional coach to correct and improve some bad habits and movements. This is the main thing, while improving physical fitness.

Breaststroke thrust and drag reduction.

Of the four strokes, the breaststroke is actually the most propulsive, but the slowest swim is the slowest for two main reasons:

1: The resistance caused by the body is too great, negating the advantage of the driving force;

2: The impetus is not sustainable, there is a pause in between. This is what is professionally called a "dead spot".

The breaststroke swimming process is "from pushing to drifting", the output of swimming power is "pedaling the leg clamp to form propulsion to nothing", the leg clamp is the main propulsion force**, and the pause between the two kicking legs will make the propulsion force close to nothing, all by sliding. As for the stroke of the arm, the propulsion that can be provided is not very large.

So how do you increase the speed of breaststroke swimming?

02 Pursue perfection in the leg clamping action and maximize the driving force.

When pushing, let the soles of your feet fully face the water, and when facing the water, the soles of your feet should face backwards, so that you can press your legs backwards in alignment with the water to produce the propulsion force to swim forward.

The pedal and the clamp should be completed coherently, the calf is pushed back, the clamp is the force adduction, the thigh is clamped inward, and finally the legs are together, and the soles of the feet are parallel to the water surface. The main purpose of leg tucking is to reduce the area facing the water in front of the face, thereby reducing drag. When thighs are tucked, they should not exceed the crotch, and at the same time, the timing of the leg is very important, and the leg is quietly tucked while the arm is between the elbows.

03 wide and narrow frog legs.

Breaststroke is divided into flat frog and wave frog, many people will swim flat frog, with a wide leg push technique, wave frog uses a narrow leg push technique, mainly to match the faster frequency and the undulating forward rush of the body.

The difference between the wide and narrow legs is based on the distance between the knees when the leg press clamp is made, however, the width between the knees cannot exceed the width of the shoulders, regardless of the width of the legs. There is a rotation around the knee when the leg press clamp, therefore, the narrow leg press has higher requirements for the flexibility of the knee joint and ankle, and is not recommended if you have not done flexibility training.

Let the body be the arrow and reduce head-on resistance.

At the end of each movement, there is a streamlined glide attitude, so that the body is elongated and narrowed, which can better extend the inertia generated by the propulsion. Many people stretch their arms forward and put them parallel to the front at will, without stretching their arms as long as possible, and their heads are in a higher position, which will increase water resistance.

The correct way is: while the two arms are stretched forward, the palms are close together, the two arms form a triangle, and the head is hidden between the arms, which will greatly reduce the water resistance, the propulsion loss speed of the water will be greatly reduced, and the body will swim quickly like an arrow.

In short, the speed of the breaststroke depends on two aspects, one is to increase the propulsion, and the other is to reduce the drag and allow the thrust to be better extended.
