@theraceclub

No. Not usually. It is just that the kick occurs before the swimmer is in a streamlined position, whereas the pull occurs as the swimmer is elevating out of water. So the kick contributes much more to swimmer's speed.

Work on the internal rotation of your hips and your ankle pronation. To get good propulsion from you legs you need to have great flexibility in those areas.

@eminem565

Жыл бұрын

I have the same problem as you!

Great video. From physics the bending of the torso up and backwards as your body get out of the water should be a very fast part of the motion forwards of the swimmer, in fact perhaps the fastest part of the motion in the stroke cycle for some swimmers and the more you bend it will give faster motion forward, the "shooting of your torso and arms down and forwards should slow you down somewhat, but a good timely kick will counter that and propel you forward. The faster the shooting the more you slow down the swimmer, however it also allows the swimmer to initiate the propulsion earlier which is a benefit. Again need to balance those segments of the stroke accordingly (swimmer dependent , etc.) faster motions of our bodies consume more energy and not always have positive forward propulsion.

@theraceclub

10 ай бұрын

The timing of non-propulsive motions (coupling motions) such as pressing the upper body and head downward in breaststroke, is critical. We want the peak kinetic energy and vector of the coupling motion to coincide with the peak propulsion, coming mostly from the hands and feet. Not always easy to attain.

@Stealth-InComing

8 ай бұрын

@hqs9585 Yes, strength can transfer to force. Strength is the ability to exert a force against a resistance, so the stronger you are, the more force you can potentially generate. Force is a measure of the push or pull on an object, and your strength is a key factor in determining the amount of force you can apply in various situations. Where there is no strength, no force can be applied. That's common sense, yes? Thanks

@hqs9585

8 ай бұрын

With all due respect, you are wrong! Strength is ability to withstand applied forces, not transferable. If you are very strong you cannot make a weaker person stronger! Force can always be applied , however certain structures may not be able to withstand it, i.e.c, bending can happen, fractures, buckling etc. Time to defend the undefendable. again I think you are just using the wrong semantic.

@braunelars8077

@@theraceclub The twisting of the knees is very much emphasized with the short tight kicks. Due to the higher frequency of the leg kick, this area of the body is overloaded very quickly. The high frequency promotes this negative effect. Do you provide rehabilitation measures for the long-term effects of professional athletes? i think you have to differentiate between professional swimmers and normal sports swimmers when it comes to breaststroke. A normal recreational swimmer should not learn tight short leg kicks.

Hi, Ive a question: When you start the kick phase should the arms be fully straight?

@theraceclub

The kick should be initiated towards the middle of the pull so the arms will not be straight out in front of you. If you wait until then you will miss out on a lot of that coupling power.

Disagree with the kick coach, the mechanics of the knee, flexion, and extension. The knee should never twist as seen with the young athletes putting joint health at risk. So what should be taught is femoral head internal rotation, so that the knee is then aligned for flexion and extension. This sets up all the gluteus muscles to align greater force production and reduce potential osteoarthritis 10 years down the line in swimming careers.

@theraceclub

8 ай бұрын

Femoral internal rotation is what we teach! Tibial torsion (twisting of the tibia in the knee capsule) is a bonus tool that some athletes simply possess & other's don't. You are right, the twisting of the knee will likely increase injury risk in a lot of other scenarios!
