Postcopulary sexual selection increases ATP content in rodent spermatozoa [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

Fish swimming in schools save energy regardless of their spatial position [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
For animals, being a member of a group provides various advantages, such as reduced vulnerability to predators, increased foraging opportunities and reduced energetic costs of locomotion. In moving groups such as fish schools, there are benefits of group

Intraspecific variation in aerobic and anaerobic locomotion: gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) and Trinidadian guppy (Poecilia reticulata) do not exhibit a trade-off between maximum sustained swimming speed and minimum cost of transport.

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2015
Intraspecific variation and trade-off in aerobic and anaerobic traits remain poorly understood in aquatic locomotion. Using gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) and Trinidadian guppy (Poecilia reticulata), both axial swimmers, this study tested four ...

Effects of 12 weeks high-intensity & reduced-volume training in elite athletes. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
It was investigated if high-intensity interval training (HIT) at the expense of total training volume improves performance, maximal oxygen uptake and swimming economy. 41 elite swimmers were randomly allocated to a control (CON) or HIT group.

High intensity swimming outlay in Olympic distance triathlon does not affect cycling performance and cycling economy

open access: closed, 2010
Aim: The purpose of the present study was to investigate to what extent swimming at 100% of 500m velocity the first 500m of a 1500m swim will influence on average 1500m velocity and the intensity and economy during a 22.5km TT (time trial) on a cycle ergometer.

Efeito do uso do traje de neoprene sobre variáveis técnicas, fisiológicas e perceptivas de nadadores Effects of a neoprene suit over technical, physiological and perceptive variables of swimmers

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Educação Física e Esporte : RBEFE, 2011
Ao contrário do que ocorre em provas de piscina, competições em águas abertas estão sujeitas as condições ambientais, sendo uma delas as baixas temperaturas. Em determinadas circunstâncias é permitido o uso de roupas especiais para evitar hipotermia.

Galanin (1-15) enhances the behavioral effects of fluoxetine in the forced swimming test: a new therapeutic strategy against depression [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The selective serotonergic (5- HT) reuptake inhibitors, including Fluoxetine (FLX), are the most commonly used for treatment of major depression. However, the understanding of the mechanism of action of FLX beyond its effect of elevating 5-HT is limited.
