A combined intervention of strength and endurance training is common practice in elite swimming training, but the scientific evidence is scarce. The influences between strength and endurance training have been investigated in other sports but the findings are scattered. Some state the interventions are negative to each other, some state there is no negative relationship and some find bisected a...

obesity influences semen quality by hormonal imbalance. therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the effect of moderate and intensive aerobic training on obese male rats' reproductive function. 30 obese male rats were assigned to moderate training (n=10), intensive training (n=10) and control (n=10) groups. a matched control group of normal weight rats (n=10) were also recruited for...

CONTEXT Forward propulsion in freestyle swimming is predominantly achieved through arm action. Few studies have assessed the effects of arm training on arm power and swimming performance, yet there have not been any investigations on the effects of arms-only swimming training on swimming performance and physiological responses to arm exercise. PURPOSE To investigate the changes in arms-only a...

THE AIM OF THE CURRENT STUDY WAS TWOFOLD (i) to examine the effects of eight weeks of combined dry land strength and aerobic swimming training for increasing upper and lower body strength, power and swimming performance in young competitive swimmers and, (ii) to assess the effects of a detraining period (strength training cessation) on strength and swimming performance. The participants were di...

Swimming performance of fish is often improved following periods of moderate exercise training. To examine the effects of training regimes on swimming performance of juvenile bream Megalobrama pellegrini (5.10 ± 0.08 g), fish were held in slow-flowing water (control), or subjected to exercise training at 1 body length (BL) s−1, 2 BL s−1 or 4 BL s−1, or were given exhaustive chasing training dai...

Background—A study was undertaken to determine whether swimming training improved aerobic capacity, exercise induced bronchoconstriction (EIB), and bronchial responsiveness to inhaled histamine in children with asthma. Methods—Eight children with mild or moderate asthma participated in swimming training every day for six weeks. The intensity of training was individually determined and set at 12...

the aim of this study was to examine the effect of swimming submaximal training and cadmium consumption on cardiac hif1-α and vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf) in pregnant rats. 32 pregnant wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: cadmium, swimming, cadmium+swimming and control. experimental groups performed the swimming protocol for 3 weeks, 5 sessions a week for 60 minutes per...

objective(s): the beneficial and more potent role of exercise to prevent heart apoptosis in ovariectomized rats has been known. the aim of this study was to examine the effects of swimming training on cardiac expression of bcl-2, and mir-133 levels and glycogen changes in the myocyte. materials and methods: forty animals were separated into four groups as control, sham, ovariectomy (ovx) and ov...

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of the dry-land power training on swimming force, swimming performance and strength in youth swimmers. Twenty six male swimmers, free from injuries and training regularly at least 6 times a week, were enrolled in the study and randomly assigned to one of two groups: experimental (n=14, mean age 14.0 ± 0.5 yrs, mean height 1.67±0.08 m and mean bod...
