Assignment: ¡®Describe stroke cycle for Breaststroke identifying phases of propulsion and resistance. Define and analyse the major muscle groups used and the energy system demands made on the body in swimming this stroke over 200 metres in 2 minutes 10seconds. Explain how you would develop both muscles and energy systems using appropriate land and water training¡¯.

Introduction.
Breaststroke is the slowest of all of the four primary strokes. This is caused by the unique movements that are part of the stroke cycle, that create a large amount of resistance. The breaststroke cycle has changed somewhat over the last two decades, due to the increasing involvement of technology to analyse how to effectively increase propulsion through the water. Through training about body positioning, the resistance can be minimalised so that speed increases, however resistance is a major factor in the breaststroke cycle. Breaststroke consists of a series of phases for both the arms and the legs. Leg movement consists of an outsweep, whereby the leg kicks outwards starting from the buttocks; and an insweep where your legs are extended and brought together in a propeller like fashion. The arm movement also has outsweep and insweep phases. The outsweep is where
