The Association of Range of Motion, Dryland Strength-Power, Anthropometry, and Velocity in Elite Breaststroke Swimmers

CONCLUSIONS: These models can be used to assess propulsion effectiveness and act as a catalyst for technique evaluation. It is also recommended that strength and conditioning coaches consider the inclusion of explosive movements, such as countermovement jumps and maximal velocity pull-ups, in dryland training programs designed for sprint breaststroke swimmers.PMID:35728807 | DOI:10.1123/ijspp.2021-0544
