Swimming is a very good sport and also a very good weight loss exercise that can slim the whole body. According to the swimming posture, it can be divided into backstroke, butterfly stroke, breaststroke and freestyle. Because we need to exercise many parts of the body during the swimming process, the strength training of swimming is very interesting. So what kind of strength does swimming train? Now let’s take a look with me. Strength is the main physical quality of a swimmer, and emphasis on strength is a prominent feature of modern swimming training. Strength training on land and in water has become an important part of swimming training. Muscle strength characteristics of swimming: The water environment in which swimming is performed has a density more than 800 times that of air. The human body has to overcome much greater resistance when moving in water than in air. This requires that in each stroke, the muscle groups involved in the movement must have sufficient strength to generate propulsion and thus achieve swimming speed. Therefore, muscle strength becomes one of the important factors restricting swimming speed. When strength training, the emphasis should be on developing the strength and strength endurance of the prime movers (the muscles that do their primary work). Prime mover refers to the muscle group that is involved in generating power to propel the body forward during swimming. General strength training for swimming should focus on the characteristics of strength training, develop muscle strength that meets the requirements of the sport and helps improve the strength level of the sport. General strength training for swimming should focus on the strength requirements of swimming technical movements and each technical link in the selection of exercise factors such as movement methods, weights, number of repetitions and sets. The general strength training methods commonly used in swimming include barbell exercises, dumbbell exercises, shot put exercises, and bodyweight exercises, collectively known as weight-bearing exercises. The above is what the editor introduced to you about strength training for swimming. In our daily life, we can also use these trainings to exercise strength. It is not necessary to only swim. The methods of strength training are relatively simple, but they require everyone to exercise persistently and not have a half-hearted attitude. |
