Why is arm position important for backstroke?
In backstroke, the arm action will provide the majority of the propulsion. The arms are continuous and alternating with one arm providing propulsion under the water whilst the other recovers over the water.
What are the three phases during the arm movement for breaststroke?
In recent two-three decades analysis of breaststroke swimming has been conducted by using video recordings, where in the movements of the upper and lower limbs were generally distinguished into three phases: propulsive, resistant and gliding.
What is the movement of swimming?
In high school, collegiate, and Olympic swimming, there are two undulating strokes (breaststroke and butterfly stroke) and two alternating strokes (front crawl and backstroke). Most strokes involve rhythmic and coordinated movements of all major body parts — torso, arms, legs, hands, feet, and head.
