Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of the timing of the
Breaststroke kick on intra-cyclic velocity fluctuations. Researchers examined peak
hip velocities of Breaststroke swimmers to determine any significant velocity dropoffs
and magnitude of velocity regained between different kicking techniques.
Subjects performed swimming trials with three different kick protocols: a
conventional stroke, a late kick, and a delayed late kick. Video analysis was used to
analyze peak and minimum hip velocities within one Breaststroke cycle for each
trial. Data was analyzed using ANOVA repeated measures analysis. Major findings of
this study were that due to smaller percentages of hip velocity drop-off, higher
swimming velocities may be achieved when the kick is initiated during the insweep
or early recovery arm phases and that video analysis and verbal cueing are viable
tools to help swimmers improve their regular stroke technique.
