Breaststroke can help people correct some abnormal body shapes and make all parts of the body and muscles develop in a balanced and all-round way. Therefore, regular breaststroke exercise is helpful to build a strong body.

Breaststroke is carried out in water, which gently rubs the body, and minerals in the water slowly nourish the skin, promoting blood circulation in skin capillaries and metabolism of epidermal cells. If you apply some sunscreen or skin cream after breaststroke, you can also make your skin white, tender, smooth and elastic.

Regular participation in breaststroke can make the heart get a good exercise, such as the gradual development of myocardium, the gradual enhancement of contractility, and the corresponding strengthening of heart function, thus improving the metabolic capacity of the human body.

The position of the rower in breaststroke;

When doing breaststroke, hand movements are basically a process of drawing circles backwards from top to bottom. When closing your hand, keep your hand in the chin position, and the elbow position should not exceed the shoulder line. If it exceeds the shoulder line, it will increase the resistance when doing the backhand movement, and it will also affect the timing of kicking.

Breathing posture in breaststroke;

Breaststroke breathing mainly depends on hand movements. The hand movement of breaststroke is to put your arms together and stroke to the rear of both sides respectively. At the end of the push, the arms should be at the sides of the body. At this time, there should be a quick and powerful elbow clamping action. With the strength of this action, there will be an instantaneous upward buoyancy, and the upper body will surface under this buoyancy to complete the mouth inhalation action.
