    Default What's your frog kick injury?

    I'm about to do a biomechanics project on the modified frog kick and I need some common injuries. I've come up with MCL pain and calf cramps. Anybody else had any issues? Thanks!

    "MCL pain"?

    If you are kicking a poor frog hard enough to injure yourself, you are one cruel bastard.

    20 years of using it and no injuries. I was a swimmer in high school and college so maybe that's why I don't have issues

    Smile Frog kick injury?

    If I do a modified frog for a long distance when I am not in shape, my knees will hurt before my calves cramp. The pain seems to be in the MCL (medial collateral ligament). To prevent this, I swim 1500 yards of modified frog kick twice a week. Thank God for university swimming pools!

    Medial collateral ligament- ligament on the medial side of the knee (toward the inside). It's common in breast strokers and I once had a little discomfort there when I did a ton of kicking and wasn't used to it.

    I was thinking hamstring strain or groin strain but I wanted to see if anybody has had those injuries before I list it.

    I'm familiar with the frog kick and the reverse frog kick, but what's the modified frog kick?

    I would think that getting your face slapped would be the most common injury among that group.
