Effect of hand paddles and parachute on the index of coordination of competitive crawl strokers

By

This study assessed whether hand paddles and parachutes influence the coordination of the freestyle stroke. We concluded that the use of this implement leads to an increase in propulsive continuity. For sprinters in freestyle, this is valuable information with implications for both physical and technical training. READ!
