Strength, flexibility and timing in the eggbeater kick

(Kraft, Beweglichkeit und Timing beim "Schneebesen" im Wasserball)

The eggbeater kick is used in synchronized swimming and water polo to raise the upper body. At the FINA Conference in Hong Kong I presented the results of a three-dimensional study of the eggbeater kick and started to draw implications for coaches and athletes. The purpose of this paper is to look more deeply into the implications of the findings with particular emphasis on identifying muscle-specific requirements of strength, flexibility and timing of movements that will guide dry-land and water based training. Content: - Introduction - A Model of Factors Contributing to Maintaining Height Using the Eggbeater Kick - Foot Velocity - Pitch Angles - Implications for Training / Specific Implications for Training Conclusion: To optimise performance in the eggbeater kick, attention should be given to strength, endurance, and flexibility training of specific muscles involved in the action. This will allow maintenance of speed throughout the motion, favourable angles of orientation of the feet, and will assist in the development of efficient timing.
