The way to do breaststroke swimming movements divided into two, namely:1. Mechanical motion of the leg.Mechanical motion of swimming the breaststroke leg in motion resembling a frog's leg while swimming. The difference, limb movement in humans can be done until the straight, while the frogs themselves are not biased. At the swimming breaststroke leg movements, will form a round toe. Function round the legs are as a boost to the rear. The movement should be carried out continuously. Limb movement when pushed to the back, the legs remain below the water surface. Thus, leg movements more effectively and efficiently. In addition, limb movement involves motion of the ankle. The movement resulted in a boost leg will be stronger and faster glide. Because of this, when the warm-up exercise should be carried out exercises that aim to expand the ankle joint motion. Meanwhile, gliding motion is obtained when the series of footwork has been done perfectly. Gliding motion will be slower if not aided by the movement of our arms. However, the effective movement of the foot should be parallel to the bottom line of our pelvis. This means that, instead of downward movement of the feet but to the rear.2. Mechanical arm motionArm movements in swimming breaststroke done simultaneously. The movement will help the movement of the body more quickly, although not as fast as in freestyle swimming. Arm movement in breaststroke swimming can be divided into three phases, namely:a. Pedaling outPedaling motion outward aims to move the body moving forward. This movement is carried out simultaneously. Axis motion comes from the shoulder. Pedaling motion arms outward on the breaststroke swimming is divided into two, namely with open arms as wide as possible and arms opened not too wide. Movement arms wide open normally used in recreational swimming breaststroke.
While the arm movement is not too wide open normally used in swimming achievements.
b. Pedaling intoPedaling motion into a rowing motion to the rear. This movement generates glide very fast. But the energy required should also be large. In this position, the head and shoulders will be lifted to the surface of the water. It is often used to take a breather. But try not to lift the head too high because it will increase the burden of the body prisoner. At this movement, fingers tightly and curved. It is intended that the body would glide faster. The impetus behind done until elbows level with the shoulders.Then, turn your arms into that palms meet in front of the chest to perform recovery.
c. Relaxation phaseRelaxation movement is a movement to straighten your arms forward. This movement does not affect the speed of the body glide. This movement is carried out simultaneously in order to help move the arm to the rhythm of pedaling movement to the outside.
Let the reader, perhaps this is all I can share on this occasion. Hopefully this article useful to readers. Criticism and suggestions are always I look forward in the comments field for future improvements.
