I recommend you to watch Michael Phelps&#039; underwater foot kick in the Free Relay race. See how he beat his opponent, with whom he entered the turn, thanks to the underwater foot kick.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In addition, if I say that Alexandr Popov, one of the greatest sprinters in history, could complete the 50 meters with 27 seconds of footstroke, I think I would have summarized the importance of the subject better.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The powerful foot strike makes your body rise in the water. So the down-foot kick becomes more effective in the water. At this point, a positive correlation is observed between ankle flexibility and foot strike.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why is ankle flexibility important?
