Legs in the style crawl

The importance of the legs in the style crol has been discussed for many years. What we all agree is important value in the restoration of balance in all three levels of space and focus all the work of the arms towards propulsion.

On the action propulsiva of legs crol during the swim, there are three different views: 1 º the milkshake legs does not increase the total propulsion, and generating less speed that already gained by the arms. 2 nd beaten on the legs if it enters into the vector sum, producing an addition to propulsion. 3 fourth leg of the beaten only really propulsiva in the valleys, the curves of speed. That is the time when the arms are low propulsion, legs remain part of the force propulsiva.

It is a movement downwards and inwards, this slightly, started the movement in the hip, ended up bending of the leg and surmounted by flexion of the foot. When not over the previous upward movement of the leg and the heel of the foot has not yet broken the surface of the water, it has to begin the movement down. is a string of moves that have to operate as if the transmission of force that makes a whip.

The leg sweeps upward and inward until it reaches the foot surface. The movement is initiated with his hip extension before the walk has ended its downward motion. When pulled thigh upward leg extends passively due to the downward force of the water produced by the upward motion of the thigh.

Other considerations: As we saw in the previous downward motion, the relaxation of the ankle and lower leg is vital to the proper execution of the movement. It is important to change the flexion of the foot to a less pronounced bending to enable a push water up and back
