This study evaluated the influence of an altitude training (AT) camp on swimming start time and loaded squat jump performance. To accomplish this goal, 13 international swimmers (8 women, 5 men) were allocated to both the control (Sea Level Training, SLT) and experimental conditions (AT, 2320 m above sea level) that were separated by a one year period. All tests (15 m freestyle swimming start a...

Nonfeeding postlarval pueruli of spiny lobsters migrate tens of kilometers across the continental shelf to settle in coastal waters. A model that analyzes hydrodynamic forces during swimming in the puerulus of Jasus edwardsii is described. The model calculates the speed at which forward propulsion balances drag. Calculated speeds agree with observed puerulus behavior. The computed mechanical wo...

A series of benzamide derivatives such as 1-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-ylcarbonyl) piperidine (1-BCP) were synthesized by the reaction of substituted benzoic acids with piperidine, morpholine or pyrrolidine using a novel method. The crystals of these benzamide derivatives were obtained by recrystallization. Structures of target and intermediate compounds were determined via FT-IR, 1H-NMR and elemental ...

Abstract The knowledge of coaches has been used in research on talent identification and development. objective was to investigate how Brazilian triathlon identify talents what is the importance different factors indicators for development young triathletes. 37 (89% male; 36.2 ± 8.3 years; 43% international competitive level) answered an online questionnaire about anthropometric, physical-motor...

BACKGROUND Endurance swimming exercises coupled to disinfection by-products exposure has been associated with increased airways dysfunction and neurogenic inflammation in elite swimmers. However, the impact of swimming pool exposure at a recreational level on autonomic activity has never been explored. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate how swimming pool attendance is influencing lung a...

Although the movement of invasive bighead carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis) and silver carp (H. molitrix) in the Upper Mississippi River system is dependent on their ability to swim through its numerous lockanddams, the swimming performance of adults of these species is at present unknown. Using a large (2,935L) mobile swim tunnel, the swimming performance of adult bighead and adult silver carp...
