MONA’s breaststroke technique benefits from science in a number of ways:
- Streamline position after each stroke
- Minimum resistance throughout the stroke cycle
- Maximum arm propulsion due to arm motion and body position
- Maximum leg propulsion due to knee control and foot motion
- Optimal arm and leg coordination
- Breathing motion with minimal body distortion
The application of science produces a breaststroke technique that goes faster with less energy.
Details of the scientific applications are found in publications:
- Breaststroke breathing
- Streamline position
- Dolphin kick
- Beginning of pull
