How to reduce the drag of the breaststroke in swimming

1. When swimming, no matter what swimming style, you should pay attention to the abdomen, so that the body can float on the water, so that the high world can reduce resistance.

2. The coordination of hands and feet should be coordinated, breaststroke is like a frog, hands and feet should be closed and released at the same time, fingers should be pressed down obliquely, and the head should be raised, the knees should be turned out, and the legs should be close together after staring out, so that the swimming is fast and fast.

3. When swimming in freestyle and backstroke, the stool can reduce wave resistance by increasing the number of inches between the body in the side lying position, reducing the time of lying down, and forming a narrower forward route.

4. Wearing appropriate swimwear and swimming caps can reduce surface resistance.

Of course not. If you are participating in a race, frequency is also very important, although the frequency is fast, the resistance will increase accordingly, but the speed increase brought by the frequency increase will make up for the loss of resistance.

In the wild, the way for people to reduce resistance by swimming is not to breathe, dive down in one breath, and then use the buoyancy of the water to swim for a long time, and then stretch out their heads to breathe when there is no air, but this kind of swimming method is not allowed in the competition. Breaststroke must have the head raised.

On the other hand, the stool is indeed the factor of the speed drop during the ventilation of the breaststroke. Because if you want to ventilate, you have to press the water down, and then the body will tilt instead of parallel to the water. The greater the inclination, the greater the resistance during ventilation.

It is important to keep your body parallel to the water at all times. If you look at the video of the game, those athletes only look up, and their bodies are always parallel, but the bodies of amateurs are basically 45 degrees, and some are even close to 90 degrees.

1. Don't open the calf when closing the leg to increase the collapse resistance of the water brother, 2. The foot turning action should be done indeed, and the end of the action of kicking the water must be brought together.

3. The hand stroke should not be too large, and it must not be over the shoulder.

4. When the palms are combined, the elbows must be retracted and protruding forward to reduce water resistance.

5. Be sure to shoot first, hand to the top and then kick the leg, the two movements can not overlap and interfere with each other to offset the thrust.

6. When entering the water, please bury your head in the water and look directly at the bottom of the pool, and do not raise your head to increase the water resistance.

6. When sliding, close your chin and look down at the bottom of the pool, and your feet must be flattened to reduce water resistance.

I hope the above can help you.

The correct posture for breaststroke, minimizing the resistance of the water, come in and have a look.

Generally speaking, the outer strokes of the breaststroke arm to grasp the water, the inner stroke, the elbow and the arm extension, and the leg retraction, flip, kick, and clamp together constitute a single complete action of the breaststroke stroke, in which it can be seen that even the best breaststroke player will have an instantaneous pause (the swimming speed is significantly reduced) in each movement of swimming, not to mention the amateur, the reason is also in the above three resistances. First, the water resistance caused by the body's failure to parallel to the water surface during the whole swimming process, especially when sliding on the legs, is easier to understand and relatively easy to overcome. That.

The second, third, and greater resistance comes from the forward throw and leg tuck movements, especially the use of the basic methods of breaststroke that the swimmer is not aware of. According to the textbook, it is simply the eight words that must always run through the breaststroke process - elbow shrug, chest press and buttocks:

First, 'shrug your shoulders at your elbows'. 1) Elbow - at the end of the powerful inward stroke, the hand must be stretched forward, at this time the elbow and the palm of the hand in front of the chest tightly together, if the elbows are not tightly together in front of the chest, the arms and chest will have a great resistance to the water, the elbows together will force the hands to move quickly, in time to end the inward stroke action to stretch the arms forward, many breaststrokers have a problem, that is, there is a pause in this position; 2) Shrug - Shrugging at the end of the arm extension process, is the shoulder lifting action, elbow and palm outward, shrugging action to make the shoulder and arm form the same body posture as the butterfly swimmer when the arm is stretched forward, so that the shoulder narrower to reduce resistance. Shoulder-side shrugging can effectively reduce the resistance of the shoulder and chest to the water when the arms are stretched forward, and well overcome the problems of excessive pause time and heavy elbow strokes.

Second, 'press the chest and lift the buttocks'. If you were to ask a breaststroker what the secret of breaststroke swimming, they would say kicks! It can be seen that the leg press plays an important role in the breaststroke, and the thigh will definitely form a huge resistance to the water when the thigh is closed, although in this link we all know how to get the right leg angle is the key to solving the leg resistance, but there is a very basic requirement:

Chest and buttock lift' - that is, the chest is pressed down and the buttocks are raised, just like the hip lift of a butterfly swimmer, the buttocks lift in the water can make the legs back and up to the buttocks, so that the knee joint has much less resistance to the water.

Breaststroke seems simple, but it is the hardest to learn! Of course, if the practitioner can accurately comprehend, understand and use the 'elbow shrug', 'chest and hip lift', then the problem of the body parallel to the water surface can also be easily solved in the process, the breaststroke swimming resistance will be significantly reduced, and the streamlined training is actually in it, and then the breaststroke movement may become more beautiful, and the improvement of swimming speed can certainly be undoubted.
