The Olympics are happening and with the swimming events just finishing, i thought i might as well talk about the SCISSOR kick. For those of us who took swimming lessons as children you can remember that this is called the scissors kick because you move your legs in the motion of a scissor. This kick is commonly used in the side stroke. The legs make a scissor kick, in which the legs are held straight out, knees unbent, and swung back and forth in opposite directions (out of phase). The lower leg does the greater share of the work.
Just another friendly scissor reference by your enthusiast!
more sports posts soon.
