Whether the breaststroke exhales or holds its breath underwater

Breaststroke underwater is exhalation. Breaststroke is a swimming style that mimics the swimming movements of a frog and is one of the oldest strokes. When breaststroke, swimmers can easily observe whether there are obstacles in front of them and avoid hitting them.

Breaststroke is one of the competitive swimming styles. The human body lies prone on the water, with both arms bent and stroked down in front of the chest symmetrically straight, and the legs are symmetrically bent and stretched to hold the water, like a frog swimming in the water. Breaststroke is labor-saving, easy to last, and has great practical value, and is often used in fishing and hunting, swimming, rescue, water transportation, etc., and at the same time, it is also a learning project for beginners in swimming.

The word breaststroke in English is breaststroke.

Or the meaning of dive. As early as 2000-4000 years ago, there were similar swimming postures in China, Rome, and Egypt. In Japan, it is called hirai swimming.

This swimming position has always been called breaststroke in China because it lies prone on the surface of the water, and the strokes and kicks resemble a frog swimming in the water. When swimming breaststroke, the body posture is relatively stable, the water support area is large, the action is labor-saving, the breathing is convenient, and it can last, which is suitable for long-term and long-distance swimming.

Breaststroke requires an exhalation underwater.

In breaststroke, when the head is in the water, you need to exhale and inhale through the nose and mouth together. After the head is exposed to the water, you need to inhale through your mouth and close your mouth to avoid inhaling unnecessary water.

Therefore, during the breaststroke, it is necessary to exhale underwater. At the same time, it is necessary to master the timing and way of breathing according to the individual's situation and skills to maintain smooth and comfortable breathing.

It is not to hold the breath or exhale, it should be exhaled. The breaststroke breathing technique is: kick your legs and lower your head and nose to exhale, paddle your hand up and open your mouth to inhale, and reach out and lower your head to hold your breath.

The breathing method of breaststroke is very crucial, if you breathe incorrectly, you do not completely exhale when entering the water, and the exhaust gas takes up space, resulting in insufficient oxygen inhalation when you get out of the water, which will make you feel very tired in breaststroke.

Therefore, in the water, you should exhale desperately, stay on the surface of the water for a long enough time, breathe slowly, and inhale 40%-50%.

When you first start learning breaststroke, you should first do some preparatory activities and freehand exercises, first familiarize yourself with the water, practice basic leg movements, expose your heels to the water, straighten your legs together, pay attention to the rhythm, inhale quickly when the head is out of the water, and practice repeatedly.

At the beginning of the practice, I always bring the float to start the practice, and after I am proficient, I slowly practice freely, and the time to remove the float is determined according to the actual situation.

Hand movements should be trained on the shore before entering the water, the steps are hands, feet - hands and feet, the movements are carried out in groups, and after a group is completed, the body is connected to the gliding state, and the harmony of the hands and feet is important to train.

Generally, the hand movements are relatively simple when practicing, so it is best to start with the movements of the legs, and use auxiliary equipment to put the head on the water during the exercise, and a breaststroke leg action can glide more than 5 meters.

You also need to learn to hold your breath and stand in the water, with your hands stacked on top of your head, pushing hard against the pool wall, straightening your body, burying your head in the water, and gliding forward.

In breaststroke, the head is raised, the mouth is out of the water, and the arms are ready to be pulled back, and the head is not yet in the water.

The exhalation and inhalation process of the breaststroke is as follows:

The swimmer is in a gliding position with his body close to level. About 80% of the head is sunk in the water, the face is slightly forward, the arms are extended, and the palms are facing obliquely outward. Make a sideways movement of your hands and begin to exhale.

Continue to paddle outwards and exhale continues to increase. When the swimmer's head begins to rise slightly, the elbows begin to flex like a knot, and the upper arms begin to rotate. Continue to lift your head upwards when your mouth is above the water, and finally exhale to complete.

The hands begin to turn inward to complete the final propulsion. When the arms are ready to go back, the inhale begins, the elbows do not pull under the ribs, the knees begin to flex, and the leg return movement begins. The mouth is closed, the inhale is complete, the feet are brought towards the hips, the elbows continue to extend, and the arms continue to move forward.

Exhale directly when breaststroke enters the water

In breaststroke, swimmers need to poke their heads out of the water and take deep breaths in preparation for entering the water. When a swimmer puts their body into the water, they need to sink their head and face while straightening their arms and legs and start pushing forward. During this process, swimmers will feel increased pressure in their chest and abdomen, and they will need to exhale to relieve the pressure.

Therefore, the breaststroke needs to exhale directly when shouting into the water. Before entering the water, swimmers need to inhale enough oxygen from their respiratory tract and then exhale the air directly when they enter the water. This reduces pressure on the chest and abdomen, making it easier for swimmers to swim.

Of course, when doing breaststroke, swimmers need to control the rhythm of their breathing to ensure that they can swim consistently. If the breathing rhythm is not reasonable, it will lead to excessive physical exertion of the swimmer and affect the swimming performance.

In general, breaststroke requires a direct exhale when entering the water. Swimmers need to be able to breathe at a good pace to ensure that they can stay in shape for a long time.

Breaststroke method

The secret is to inhale in the mouth and exhale through the nose, which is commonly said to be the mouth inhaling and the nose exhaling. Take the breaststroke as an example:

1. Inhale, then hold your breath and put your head into the water;

2. When you want to ventilate, your head begins to come out of the water, and your nose slowly exhales (i.e., exhales) while underwater;

3. Wait for the nose to be completely out of the water, and then blow it out from the nose, and there is a foreign body in the nostrils, do not use your hands to get rid of it, spray it off with your nose, and open your mouth at the same time! Pay attention to this step - when the nose is exhaled violently, open the mouth, the air will naturally be inhaled from the mouth into the abdomen, close the mouth and stimulate the field, and complete the breathing. The head can be re-entered into the water.

The breaststroke underwater exhalation technique is as follows:

1. When swimming, take a deep breath when inhaling and try to fully reserve oxygen.

2. When swimming underwater and ventilating underwater, exhale outward to expel the carbon dioxide in the lungs.

3. When exhaling underwater, keep breathing smooth, do not exhale forcefully, but exhale easily.

4. Don't stay underwater for too long, and control the time you spend underwater.

5. When breathing underwater, try to stretch your head forward and look your eyes forward to maintain your body's balance and hydrodynamics.

6. When breathing underwater, you can try to use head-up ventilation or mixed breathing ventilation, which can help swimmers breathe better underwater.

It is important to note that you should be safe when breathing underwater and do not be too greedy for the speed of swimming, which may cause discomfort or danger.

Tips and points of breaststroke

Breaststroke is a relatively simple form of swimming that is suitable for beginner swimmers. Here are some breaststroke tips and takeaways:

1. The posture should be correct: the body is straight, the head is slightly up, only above the ears is exposed, and the arms and legs are naturally extended.

2. Breathe smoothly: lift your head to the sides or obliquely forward when you inhale, and lower your head into the water when you exhale, and try to keep your breathing steady and smooth.

3. Skills should be coordinated: the arms should cooperate with the movements, and the legs should cooperate with the movements of the arms.

4. Leg movements should be correct: bend the legs and separate them outward, isolate them from the buttocks, and then straighten the legs. After bringing your legs together, you can tuck the tomato inward and hold it close to your buttocks.

5. Keep the sound low: Breaststroke should minimize the sound of water and breathing, keep quiet, and improve swimming efficiency and comfort.

6. Speed should be mastered: the speed of swimming should be moderate, not too fast or too slow. Swimming too fast will affect posture and ventilation, while too slow will increase water resistance and reduce swimming efficiency.

Breaststroke practice requires patience and longevity, starting with shallow water and then progressively deeper. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to safety, choose a professional coach in the pool, etc., master the skills correctly, and improve the swimming level.

Exhale all at once. If you want to practice breaststroke well, you need to master the following techniques when learning to exhale:

1. Master the correct breathing method. Before performing the breaststroke full coordination exercise, it is necessary to master the correct breathing technique in order to complete the inhalation process in a short time. The method of this is:

Exhale from small to large, gradually increase the volume of exhalation (exhale through the mouth and nose at the same time), and as soon as the mouth is out of the water, exhale vigorously and inhale quickly and deeply through the mouth, without pause between exhalation and inhalation.

2. Adjust the position of the body in the water. Use two or more leg movements combined with one arm movement and one breath. The main purpose is to use two or even many leg movements to adjust the low position of the body in the water after kicking the water, so that beginners can master the breathing method as soon as possible, reduce their psychological pressure, and then carry out a breath, an arm and a leg movement of the correct coordination exercise.

3. Hold your breath and slide, exhale and breathe. When performing the full breathing exercise, the practitioner is required to hold his breath and slide down, start to exhale as he slides down, and gradually increase the volume of exhalation, as soon as the mouth is exposed, immediately exhale forcefully, and inhale quickly and deeply through the mouth without pause. In the exercise, there is not much emphasis on using early or late inhalation, but on "exhaling and inhaling."
