Comparison of Lower Extremity Parameters in Monofin and Bi-fin Swimmers.

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the leg muscle features and joint movements of swimmers who use a single large fin (monofin) versus those who use two fins (bi-fins). Different types of fins change how legs move in the water. This may affect the muscle structure and swimming performance. The researchers want to find out the differences between these two groups of swimmers. During the study, the researchers will do the following: Record the age, height, and weight of healthy swimmers who train regularly. Measure the stiffness and flexibility of the leg muscles using MyotonPro device. Check how well the hips, knees, and ankles can move using digital goniometer. The findings from this study will help create safer training programs for swimmers. Coaches will use the results to improve swimming performance and lower the risk of leg injuries.
