Learning How to Swim and Improving Self-Efficacy: Physical Education Needs to be Taken More Seriously
Learning How to Swim and Improving Self-Efficacy: Physical Education Needs to be Taken More Seriously M. Taslimi P. Iraannejaad, Ph.D. Z. Lebaadi, Ph.D. Physical education is not just for improving the functions and well-being of the body, as it can help with the improvement of the psychological functions as well. A physical, and enjoyable, activity such as swimming, as a p...
متن کاملA self-propelled biohybrid swimmer at low Reynolds number.
Many microorganisms, including spermatozoa and forms of bacteria, oscillate or twist a hair-like flagella to swim. At this small scale, where locomotion is challenged by large viscous drag, organisms must generate time-irreversible deformations of their flagella to produce thrust. To date, there is no demonstration of a self propelled, synthetic flagellar swimmer operating at low Reynolds numbe...
متن کاملLow-Reynolds-number swimming at pycnoclines.
Microorganisms play pivotal functions in the trophic dynamics and biogeochemistry of aquatic ecosystems. Their concentrations and activities often peak at localized hotspots, an important example of which are pycnoclines, where water density increases sharply with depth due to gradients in temperature or salinity. At pycnoclines organisms are exposed to different environmental conditions compar...
متن کاملQuiet swimming at low Reynolds number.
The stresslet provides a simple model of the flow created by a small, freely swimming and neutrally buoyant aquatic organism and shows that the far field fluid disturbance created by such an organism in general decays as one over distance squared. Here we discuss a quieter swimming mode that eliminates the stresslet component of the flow and leads to a faster spatial decay of the fluid disturba...
متن کاملCompensatory escape mechanism at low Reynolds number.
Despite high predation pressure, planktonic copepods remain one of the most abundant groups on the planet. Their escape response provides one of most effective mechanisms to maximize evolutionary fitness. Owing to their small size (100 µm) compared with their predators (>1 mm), increasing viscosity is believed to have detrimental effects on copepods' fitness at lower temperature. Using high-spe...
