Shovels or flippers for hands are used for swimming by the professional and beginning athletes during the trainings, but will understand, than they are effective and for what are necessary.
Shovels for swimming are the special device for hands which was initially used by swimmers-sprinters, but at the moment such stock is actively used by the beginning swimmers and ordinary people for occupations water aerobics. They help to improve the equipment, speed and to increase load of muscles.
Whether you know? Shovels for swimming were used at competitions earlier till 1965 when at the program of the European championship and World Cup there was a distance on 200 and 400 m for a heat freestyle.
Adaptation helps to increase the surface of a hand and by that the swimmer carries out grebk more qualitatively, feeling water better. After regular use of adaptation of a muscle remember the necessary amplitude of the movement, and such equipment at the swimmer remains further without use of special devices.
Recommend to hold a training without fastening of sports equipment on wrists of hands to improve result because at the wrong entry of a hand into water the shovel on a wrist will begin to dangle or completely will come off.
Shovels are used to overcome small distances with rather high speed, as at competitions.
Important! It is necessary to keep the frequency of fungi when using shovels that will allow to gather further rather high speed without their use at competitions.
At preservation of the correct equipment and simultaneous use of a grebk, in connection with the big resistance of water, load of muscles increases. Therefore advise to choose grebk a little more palm.
If to choose devices which do not suit you by the size and strongly support palm limits, it will be difficult to keep the correct technology of swimming that many times increases possibility of humeral injuries.
There are many types of shovels which have the specifics of use and purpose. Let's consider the most popular types of shovels.
This sports equipment is considered classical, it began to be used one of the first, but still it is considered the most used. Because rectangular shovels have not a streamline shape, they strongly increase resistance in water. To reach the maximum effect of use, it is recommended to remove a thong which fixes adaptation to a wrist of hands.
Devices of an anatomic form are considered as the most popular because provide good coupling with palms. Such stock in the form of the exercise machine is applied to fulfill the correct technology of swimming, also it helps to gather rather high speed and to train force. To reach the maximum effect of use, it is recommended to remove a thong which fixes sports equipment to wrists of hands.
This look is considered ideal to support the correct equipment of a grebk. Manual shovels cover only phalanxes and rather strongly increase tension by fingers that can provoke inflammation or various injuries of sinews. To avoid traumatizing, it is necessary to warm well muscles before a heat. As well as the possibility of removal of a thong which is put on a palm has usual shovels, this appearance.
This look special the fact that in it there are no fixers which fix sports equipment to a palm. It has the convex form and an opening through which there passes the thumb and by that fastens on a palm. Their such feature allows to adopt the natural provision of a brush, at the same time pressure upon fingers is minimum.
The stock without thongs is a little more than the size, than palms that allows to increase their working area. This type of stock is used to create the correct equipment of a grebk. Such shovels are intended for professional swimmers and amators.
Important! When using shovels recommend to use the special equipment which will allow a wrist and a forearm to be in a certain situation.
Also such stock is used to perfect the equipment of a crawl, a breast stroke and style butterfly stroke.
This type of sports equipment is specially invented to float a crawl on a breast. The skeg technology, compelling the swimmer during a heat as much as possible to extend hands is applied to their production special, also it allows to train the athlete to rotate a brush at the beginning of a grebk. It is important to select the correct size because it will promote smaller loading of elbow joints.
The beginning swimmers, and experienced athletes can use the eights for swimming as. The shovel is presented in the form of two closed contours, one part is put on fingers, and the second a forearm. Such look is used to improve the equipment of a crawl on a back and on a breast.
When using this adaptation the swimmer forms the correct equipment of a move of a hand over water. To create muscle memory and optimum movement skills, it is necessary to hold in a certain way during swimming a forearm and a wrist. If it is wrong to use adaptation, then to be traumatized quite hard, most likely, the shovel just will fall down.
This look is used only for occupations by water aerobics. There is no advantage of application of gloves for swimming with membranes for professional swimmers, and when using the technician of the swimmer can even deteriorate.
Gloves fists Rather strange, but interesting means to develop the equipment of a grebk. Fingers during swimming are in the bent state, and the swimmer cannot feel water.
During swimming can help to begin with a crawl on a breast of a glove fists turn of a trunk and at the same time to make a leg move that is a hindrance to lift the top part of a trunk and the head at a breath.
In order that from use of shovels there was no harm in the form of injuries, it is necessary to approach responsibly the choice of this adaptation and to pay attention to the following criteria: form, size and producer.
To choose the correct shape of shovels, it is necessary to understand, first of all, for what purposes you plan them to use. If application is supposed to increase loading, then it is recommended to use classical rectangular, an anatomic form and a shovel without thong. If you need to work the correct equipment, then recommend to use shovels for fingers of hands, for a crawl, the eights and fists.
Certainly, the size is considered very important criterion when choosing sports equipment for swimming. If to pick up the size which does not suit you it is possible to injure very strongly hands or muscles, without having calculated loading. So, when choosing it is necessary to pay attention to that shovels supported area of a palm very little.
This criterion is not such important as the choice of a form or the size, but it is better to choose producer which in the market of sports goods and well proved long ago. Also pay attention to the price because specialized goods, when using quality materials in production, cannot cost little.
In order that it is the most effective to use shovels for swimming, pay attention to the following recommendations:
- It is necessary to choose devices, proceeding from use purposes and also to take the level of your vocational training into account.
- When using shovels focus on the equipment of a grebk, but not at an endurance training.
- It is necessary to fix devices on a finger, at the same time remove a thong which fixes stock on a wrist.
- Use devices only after good warm-up.
- If you feel fatigue during the training, do not use a shovel.
- The usage time of this adaptation should not be more than 25% of all time of a training.
- Duration of use of adaptation needs to be regulated independently or to consider the recommendations of the trainer and to begin with small loadings, gradually increasing them.
Whether you know? The best period for swimming time with 7 to 9 and is considered from 18 to 20 o'clock. The fact is that early in the morning the human body is in the weakened state and better perceives loadings, and in the evening it is possible to achieve maximum efficiency from a training for weight loss.
Thus, shovels for swimming are considered as rather effective adaptation to raise the indicators in this sport and to achieve a certain progress. But, despite advantages, devices it is necessary to choose very carefully and to use limited time, observing the special equipment.
