Andrea Di Nino is Head Coach and Technical Director of A.D.N Swim Mission, the primary European program for worldwide swimmers. The mission of A.D.N is to supply their athletes with the most effective out there instruments on the market, in an effort to carry out to the most effective of their skills.
What’s the Spektro Machine?
Andrea Di Nino: “The Spektro machine is a tool that permits the athlete to acquire overspeed (transcend their pure restrict) and resistance velocity within the water, relying on the form of set they’re enterprise. The swimmer is ready to replicate near, and even as much as race velocity as many occasions as required in any given session, which is sort of inconceivable to realize in any other case, even with the help of paddles and fins. If in case you have an athlete who’s swimming 2.00m/s throughout competitors as an example, however is trying to convey their time right down to 2.05m/s, the machine may be set at 2.05m/s, permitting the athlete to really feel and perceive the right physique place wanted to realize the velocity.
When it comes to energy, it’s the identical because the swim with parachute (adjustable belt related to a sturdy parachute), however the one distinction is which you can set it up precisely to the resistance you need, which is much more correct than the three/fourth possibility setting the parachute system permits.
A person database is held for every swimmer, making it straightforward for the coach to check efficiency by month, yr and even Olympic cycle. This information is extremely correct and permits the coach to know precisely the place energy is held or misplaced. Due to this data, the coach has a transparent understanding on what must be labored on (velocity, energy or glide), due to this fact making it simpler to achieve particular targets.”
What’s the Spektro Glide featured within the video?
Andrea Di Nino: “The Spektro Glide works on the swimmer’s physique place within the water. It’s centered closely on the core, designed to assist swimmers deal with their energy and streamline within the water. You’ll be able to add as a lot resistance or velocity as you need, so the swimmer is inspired to focus and take advantage of out of the water, that means he/she has to essentially really feel and perceive their physique (head, shoulders, hips, buttocks and again) inside it, which may also help information them to a extra hydrodynamic place.”
* This can be a system used beforehand by area in an effort to measure a go well with’s velocity and buoyancy within the water, particularly the streamline on a flip.
How typically do you utilize the machine?
Andrea Di Nino: “The machine is used maybe a couple of times per week for sprinters, however in numerous methods. Relying on the season, focus is both pushed in direction of energy or in direction of velocity.”
