Who does not want to be healthy, feel great and look good? One of the main ways to make such a wish come true is to go in for sports. There are many kinds of sports for healing and physical development, and sports swimming is one of the most effective and enjoyable types of training. Swimming helps to relieve the spine, increase the useful volume of the lungs, practice endurance, relieve muscle tension and has many other positive effects. But in order to engage in swimming, one desire is not enough. We also need special equipment. About it and will go further.
Inventory for amateurs and not only
If a person is engaged in swimming just to relax and relax, he absolutely does not need to buy a large number of equipment. It is enough simple swimming cap and glasses. And not all take glasses, but they manage with one cap. But if the swimming for a man has become a favorite sport and he aspires to achieve any significant results in it, then there is no way to do without additional equipment:
- scapula, which are worn on the hands and help in working out the strength and technique of paddling;
- swimming board for the development and training of rowing;
- a sailor for swimming, for the development of the upper shoulder girdle.
What is a swimming board and shoulder blades, all more or less represent. But what is a columbine?
Required accessory for a swimmer
Kolobashka is a special device in the form of a figure-eight. They are made of a material that has a good buoyancy, so that, with a small amount of their own weight, they can withstand a considerable weight of the athlete. Also, it must be resistant to physical effects, do not crumble, do not get wet and have antibacterial properties. Typically, manufacturers use a special foamy foam with an admixture of polyethylene. A dozen or two years ago, no one knew what a shoal for swimming, and now no athlete can do without it. Especially if the athlete is really serious about training and is focused on the result. To use this swimming equipment is very simple. It is clamped between the thighs or lower legs. Sometimes the athlete is additionally fixed with a rubber ring of the leg in the ankle area to completely eliminate their mobility.
How useful is the athlete to the swimming shoe
Using such a simulator as a colabash, the athlete strenuously trains his arms and shoulders, strengthens the upper part of the body and works out the accuracy of the movement of the hands, while at the same time not distracted by the work of his feet. Also, the athlete has the opportunity to pay more attention to the intensity and correctness of breathing. This is if the colomb is sandwiched between the hips. And if this device is to be anchored in the shin area, the athlete also needs to make extra efforts to keep the body in the correct horizontal position, which results in the activation of much more muscles, training is much more intensive.
Finally
Recently, opinions began to appear about the fact that a swimming shoe is not a necessary simulator and it is quite possible to do without it by applying a different training method. That there are special exercises that replace the functions of the colby. Nevertheless, it is difficult to agree with these popular opinions. Why reinvent the wheel and complicate the life of the athlete, if that's it, a tool that many swimming masters and Olympic champions have used in recent years and thanks to which they have been able to sharpen their skills and achieve all their goals and results.
