The Inefficient Chicken
From an efficiency standpoint, the chicken recovery causes the following problems:
1. Over-swinging of your arms causing crossing over in front of your head, fishtailing, and general instability.
2. Drag: all that swinging makes you wobble like a 4-year-old learning to ride a bicycle.
3. The tension and exertion to fling your arm forward is wasted and adds nothing to your speed overall. A tight shoulder also means that your shoulder muscles will tire sooner, meaning your stroke is going to break down faster, slowing you down.
4. Your elbow will be lower, closer to the water, and for most swimmers, drain your ability to send your momentum forward on each stroke.
没效率的小鸡
从效率的角度看,鸡式回臂导致以下几个问题:
1、过度挥动手臂,导致过中线,蛇形运动,不稳定
2、阻力,过度摆动让你看起来像学骑自行车的4岁小孩
3、用力向前扔手臂并不增加你的速度,紧张的肩膀意味着你的肩膀肌肉会很快感到疲劳,你的动作会很快变形,速度下降
4、你的肘部会降低,靠近水面,意味着往前传送动量的能力降低 |
