Effect of different hand paddle sizes on bilateral propulsive force difference in the front crawl swimming

By Augusto Barbosa meazure

In this study, we investigated whether using different sizes of hand paddles could mitigate the strength disparities between the right and left arm strokes. In the end, we found that this is indeed possible, but to achieve the appropriate effect, the size of the hand paddle should be individually chosen. READ!
