Acute responses of biomechanical parameters to different sizes of hand paddles in front crawl stroke

By Augusto Barbosa meazure

In dry land, we use different loads to achieve different goals. To find out if it’s the same in the water, we compared four sizes of hand paddles with freestyle swimming. We found that both strength and speed increased significantly from the medium-sized paddle. Furthermore, the larger the size, the greater the effect. READ!
