Statement of the problem. The theoretical analysis data presented in previously carried out studies field current topic allowed us to state need for a more detailed treatment topic. According most experts, this is relevant from point view sports achievements competitive swimmers’ activities, i.e., use special technical devices (simulators) scientifically based methodological support training pr...

Detailed monitoring of training sessions of elite athletes is an important component of their training. In this paper we describe an application that performs a precise segmentation and labeling of swimming sessions. This allows a comprehensive break-down of the training session, including lap times, detailed statistics of strokes, and turns. To this end we use semi-Markov models (SMM), a forma...

OBJECTIVE Swimming is often recommended in the prevention and treatment of hypertension. Few studies have investigated the effect of swimming training on blood pressure (BP). Our objective was to evaluate 6 months of supervised moderate swimming or walking on BP in previously sedentary, normotensive, older women. DESIGN Women aged 50-70 years (n = 116) were randomly assigned to a supervised 6...

Physical exercise positively affects the metabolism and induces proliferation of precursor cells in the adult brain. Maternal exercise likewise provokes adaptations early in the offspring. Using a high-intensity swimming protocol that comprises forced swim training before and during pregnancy, we determined the effect of maternal swimming on the mouse offspring's neurogenesis. Our data demonstr...

The aim of the present study was to examine the influence of intermittent hypoxia at rest and in combination with long-term high-intensity swimming exercise on lipid peroxidation and antioxidant defense system adaptation in skeletal muscles differing in fiber type composition. High-intensity chronic exercise was performed as swimming training with load that corresponded to ~ 75 % VO2max (30 min...
