Iata o expresie care nu o inteleg si pace....
Ce-o fi asta'oomph'?
Prin deductie, cred ca este vb. ds. 'secrete' de inot Spate..., dupa mine 'cel mai parsiv procedeu tehnic de inot';
dece = deoarece iti da voie sa respiri cand vrei tu dar asta nu-i in avantajul tau ca si ritmul respirator este ceva care face parte din prestatia de exceptie..; apoi, la Spate daca nu ai pozitia perfecta, adica lordozat din segmentul toracal si cifotic datorita aducerii barbiei spre piept... iar nu faci nimica... dar cel mai mult..., 'costa'... miscarea picioarelor; daca la Craul mai putea-i sa le neglijezi... aici, la Spate sunt de o importanta majora si ca amplitudine [mare] si ca frecventa [iarasi ...mare]; le plang de mila la Spatisti dar ii si apreciez ca au ales cel mai 'parsiv' procedeu cu care au dovedit ca se poate, o chestie oarecum 'romanesca' [la noi totul este posibil ...]

If
you're quite new to swimming, you're likely to fit the mould of one of
two of our Swim Types: The Arnie or The Bambino. At first sight they may
look quite similar in the water but in fact they are very different
swimmers.
The Arnie is the classic swimmer who tends to fight the
water, with a large crossover in the stroke, low lying legs and often a
scissor kick. These are normally athletic guys and girls with a
background in other sports who try to use their strength to power
through the water but unfortunately they work much more against the
water than with it, wasting a lot of energy:
The
Bambino may have some of those faults too but uses a much lower level
of effort with the hands slipping gently through the water with very
little traction. They may take on water when they breathe as the lead
hand collapses downwards on a breathing stroke giving them no support
whilst taking a breath:
If
you are an Arnie, slowing down your stroke slightly is a good idea to
give you the time to lengthen out on each stroke. Focusing on getting
more control is critical to improve your swimming. This is the
traditional approach to swim coaching at work which will serve Arnies
well. Of course, once you've developed your technique, you
can speed things up again to get further gains in speed.
However,
the Bambino responds in a very different way. Slow your stroke down and
you lose what little attachment on the water you have and so things get
harder, not easier. With your swimming you actually need a little more
stroke rhythm - or as we like to call it: OOMPH!
The next time
you swim, try focusing on positive movements in your stroke and getting a
good rhythm going. You can do this simply from feel or use a Tempo Trainer Pro
to make small adjustments and get things just right. These little
beepers sit underneath your swim cap and beep a rhythm to you, like a
metronome but for swimming. You simply time your stroke to the beep. At
the moment you probably take something in the region of 40 to 54 strokes
per minute but we suggest you try lifting
that initially by 3-6 strokes per minute up to around 50-60 strokes per
minute:
For
an Arnie lifting their stroke rate would definitely make things harder
and less efficient but for Bambinos a greater rhythm actually makes
things easier as you gain a better feel the water and traction
with your arms stroke. We're not looking to turn you into a thrashing
beast but a little more purpose and oomph is definitely a good thing for
your stroke style.
Once you've tried this and got the feel of swimming with a greater sense of positivity, introduce the One-Two-Stretch Mantra
we talked about here: www.feelforthewater.com/2012/05/two-quick-tips-if-you-struggle-with.html. You'll soon be on the way to faster and more efficient swimming!
