有关自由泳打腿的经典论述[标题:Leg Kick In The Freestyle Stroke(自由泳打腿)
leg kick technique is often misunderstood by swimmers and triathletes(打腿技术是经常被游泳和铁三选手误解)
铁三运动员—你们不是在寻求动力
针对业余游泳爱好者和铁三选手,有关打腿方面,我们在这儿有一个不同的观点:
----你将不会期望从你的打腿中获得动力!这看起来让人觉得惊讶。
那些拥有世界级打腿技术、出色的自由泳选手也只从他们腿部获得很少的动力(约10-15%),大多数铁三运动员和业余游泳爱好者甚至没有从他们打腿中获得的动力。
我们的结论是,你将不会期望从你的打腿中获得动力。这对大多数铁三选手们来说,这简直难以置信。
Our 4 Top Tips to Develop An Effective Kick Technique(下面是我们4个最棒的的小帖子,以开发一个有效的打腿技术)
1. Stretch Your Ankles(伸展你的脚踝)
If you feel you have stiff ankles, you can perform some gentle ankle stretches to improve your flexibility. Do not force these. Do them little and often and gradually your flexibility will increase.(如果你感觉你的脚踝比较僵硬,你可以进行一些轻柔的脚踝放松练习以提高脚踝的灵活性.不要强行作这些.一点点地经常性进行练习,你的脚踝灵活性将会逐步增加)
Perhaps the best way to stretch your ankles is to use fins (flippers) regularly. They force you into using a plantar flexed (pointed toes) position and provide some stretching force to your ankles. Over a period of time they will develop and maintain your ankle flexibility.
(可能伸展脚踝最好的方法是经常使用脚蹼(单蹼或双蹼).它迫使你进入足底弯曲(指向脚趾)的壮态,并给你的脚踝提供一些拉伸力.一段时间内他们将会开发并保持我的脚踝的灵活性)
You can use fins for kick sets, drills and the occasional fast swimming set. You don't want to use them too much but wearing them little and often will improve your kick by stretching your ankles.
(你可以使用脚蹼进行打腿项目,练习和偶尔的快速游项目.除了少量时间穿上它外,你不要期望太多地和过于经常性地使用脚蹼,通过伸展你的脚踝来提高你的打腿水平)
If you are buying fins, we recommend you get something mid-length and floppy, e.g. USA, UK, Australia.
(如果你正要买脚蹼,我们建议你选择中等长度并且柔软的,如美国,英国,澳大利亚的产品等)
Progressively stretch your ankles over many months. Treat it as a long term project, developing some flexibility little by little.
((逐步地进行几个月的脚踝伸展练习,把它当作一个长期的工程对待,一点一点石地发展脚踝的灵活性)
2. Point your toes whilst you swim(游泳时指向你的脚趾方向)
Simple really, focus on holding your foot gently pointed whilst you swim. This should be a gentle hold, your foot and calf should be mostly relaxed or you risk cramp and muscle ache.
(其实非常简单,游泳时重点放在你的脚轻柔地指向脚趾方向.这应该是保持一种轻柔地,你的脚和小腿应该多放松,否则你将容易抽筋并会肌肉受伤)
3. Kick from your hips(由髋关节发动的打腿)
A good way to think about kicking from your hips is to squeeze your bum when you kick. It's a bit crude, but imagine you have a large coin between your butt cheeks and you're trying to hold it there whilst you swim. Keep your knees relaxed and drive the kick from the hips.
(一个思考从髋带动的打腿的好办法是,当你游泳时挤夹你的屁股,这看起来有点儿粗鲁,但想象你有一枚大硬币夹在你屁股中间,而游泳时你正努力保持让它不掉下来.保持膝盖放松,并进行由髋驱动的打腿)
4. Use the Kick Off The Wall Drill(进行蹬壁前冲的打腿练习)
Use the kick off the wall drill to develop your kick technique.Use this technique to re-program your kicking action:
(进行从池壁蹬出的练习以发展你的打腿技术.使用这种技术去重新设定你的打腿动作.)
Simply perform a torpedo push off from the wall but keep your arms out in front of you and your face in the water, kicking vigorously for about 15m or until you run out of air. Then stop and swim gently back to the wall.
(简单地执行一个蹬壁出发的鱼雷推进练习,但保持双臂在你的前方的水面上,同时面部浸入水中.大力打腿大约15米,或者直到你气尽.然后停下来并轻缓地游回池壁.)
When you are kicking off the wall you need to focus on the following things:
(当你由池壁蹬出时,你需要关注以下事项):
1) Point your toes as in tip 2.(指向你的脚趾,参照小帖子2)
2) Kick from the hip as in tip 3. Focus on your imaginary coin and keep your knees relaxed.
(由髋带动的打腿,参照小帖子3.重点在你想象的硬币和保持膝盖的放松)
3) Point your toes slightly inwards so that your big toes almost brush together.
(脚趾轻柔地向内指,以便你的脚大拇指几乎刷在一起)
Perform this drill 3 or 4 times in a row, kicking vigorously off the wall focusing on those three things. Then try a lap of steady freestyle swimming – not thinking too much about your kicking technique except just tapping your big toes lightly together. You should find that the kicking action you've just tried sticks for a while. Remember, you're not looking to feel extra propulsion, you're looking to feel higher in the water with less drag – a sensation of slipping through the water with less effort. If you're used to kicking hard this will feel very easy.
(由池壁蹬发大力打腿,同时重点关注以上三件事,每组执行这样的练习3到4次.然后尝试平稳的自由泳-对于打腿方面不要想得太多,除了让你的脚大拇指轻轻地碰在一起.你应该发现你刚刚尝试的打腿动作脚拇指粘了一会儿.记住,你不要期望感觉到额外的动力,你寻求的感觉应该是在水中的体位更高和较小的拖曳阻力--一种在水中更省力和平滑流畅的感觉.如果你一直努力练习打腿,这将会感觉很容易.)
