Establishing Zebrafish as a Novel Exercise Model: Swimming Economy, Swimming-Enhanced Growth and Muscle Growth Marker Gene Expression [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Zebrafish has been largely accepted as a vertebrate multidisciplinary model but its usefulness as a model for exercise physiology has been hampered by the scarce knowledge on its swimming economy, optimal swimming speeds and cost of transport. Therefore, we have performed individual and group-wise swimming experiments to quantify swimming economy and ...

Effect of Low-and High-carbohydrate Diets on Swimming Economy: A Crossover Study [PDF]
Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition, 2020 Abstract Background: Swimming economy refers to the rate of energy expenditure relative to swimming speed of movement, is inversely related to the energetic cost of swimming, and is as a key factor influencing endurance swimming performance. The objective of this study was to determine if high-carbohydrate, low-fat (HCLF) and low-carbohydrate ...

Effect of short-term regulated temperature variations on the swimming economy of Atlantic salmon smolts [PDF]
Conservation Physiology, 2017 Migratory species travelling long distances between habitats to spawn or feed are well adapted to optimize their swimming economy. However, human activities, such as river regulation, represent potential threats to fish migration by changing environmental parameters that will have impact on their metabolism.

Swimming Energy Economy in Bottlenose Dolphins Under Variable Drag Loading [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018 Instrumenting animals with tags contributes additional resistive forces (weight, buoyancy, lift, and drag) that may result in increased energetic costs; however, additional metabolic expense can be moderated by adjusting behavior to maintain power output.

Swimming upstream: community economies for a different coastal rural development in Sweden [PDF]
Sustainability Science, 2019 AbstractThe EU Blue Growth agenda is being implemented at a time when European coastal fisheries and traditional fishing communities are struggling to survive or have already vanished from areas where they used to flourish. Driven by the strong conviction that current disadvantaged and vulnerable coastal fishers still have a central role to play in ...

Summing the strokes: energy economy in northern elephant seals during large-scale foraging migrations. [PDF]
, 2015 BackgroundThe energy requirements of free-ranging marine mammals are challenging to measure due to cryptic and far-ranging feeding habits, but are important to quantify given the potential impacts of high-level predators on ecosystems.

Postcopulary sexual selection increases ATP content in rodent spermatozoa [PDF]
, 2016 Sperm competition often leads to increase in sperm numbers and sperm quality, and its effects on sperm function are now beginning to emerge. Rapid swimming speeds are crucial for mammalian spermatozoa, because they need to overcome physical barriers in ...

Sex Differences in Elite Swimming with Advanced Age Are Less Than Marathon Running [PDF]
, 2015 The sex difference in marathon performance increases with finishing place and age of the runner but whether this occurs among swimmers is unknown. The purpose was to compare sex differences in swimming velocity across world record place (1st–10th), age ...
