Welcome to The Masters BreastStroke! A site dedicated to helping Masters swimmers understand the science associated with all elements of swimming. Swimming regularly has been scientifically shown to reduce serious medical conditions and improve longevity more than cycling, football, handball or running does. (Oja P. et al, Sports Med Open 2024) This makes regular swimming it a great way to stay healthy!
Here, at The Masters Breaststroke, not only can you learn exciting scientific facts about swimming, but also discover tips about how to apply them personally to improve your swimming performance!
What better way to start than to discover the science behind health benefits for seniors and why we should consider regular swimming for exercise. There are many information sites which list the benefits of Masters Swimming, but here, we would like to take that one step further and help swimmers understand the research and studies which have been performed to verify these facts. Together, we can learn the truth behind the reason to persevere in regular swimming!
Each month, we will summarise a study which has been done to provide evidence regarding one of the many health benefits of swimming. This month's topic is about swimming and cognition. Does swimming improve our brain function? What have the scientists found out about this? Fill in the form and get this month's newsletter for free! I had originally intended to put up the newsletter on Swimming & Dementia next month but I have received so much interest about swimming & cognition, that I will bring it on early, as an addition to this month's topic.
Also, you can also find out one fun fact about breaststroke.
The Science of Swimsuits
The swimsuit is a necessary and critical component of competitive swimming. It is also the subject of the highest volume of scientific research among all swimming essentials and accessories. Various aspects of the swimsuit have been rigorously studied: the material used, the design of the swimsuit, and the degree of impact these elements of swimming costumes have on the performance on competitive swimmers.
