Backstroke Mechanics

Backstroke Mechanics is a methodological framework within stroke mechanics that specifically characterizes the biomechanical principles and movement dynamics of the backstroke swimming technique, distinguishing it from other泳 stroke analyses by its focus on supine body orientation, alternating arm propulsion, and coordinated kick patterns.
