Coordination of two opposite flagella allows high-speed swimming and active turning of individual zoospores by Quang D Tran, Eric Galiana, Philippe Thomen, Céline Cohen, François Orange, Fernando Peruani, Xavier Noblin

“…Furthermore, we find that turning involves a complex active process, in which the posterior flagellum temporarily stops, while the anterior flagellum keeps on beating and changes its gait from sinusoidal waves to power and recovery strokes, similar to Chlamydomonas’s breaststroke, to reorient its body to a new direction. …”

A Torsion-Bending Antagonistic Bistable Actuator Enables Untethered Crawling and Swimming of Miniature Robots by Nan Hu, Bo Li, Ruiyu Bai, Kai Xie, Guimin Chen

“…Two untethered robotic demonstrations using the bistable actuator are presented, including a crawling robot (gross weight of 2.7 g, including actuator, battery, and on-board circuit) that can generate a maximum instantaneous velocity of 40 mm/s and a swimming robot equipped with a pair of origami-inspired paddles that swims breaststroke. The low-voltage bistable actuator shows potential for achieving autonomous motion of various fully untethered miniature robots.…”

The effect of differential and traditional training methods on electromyographic changes of lower body muscles in performing and learning crawl swimming by Raha Nikravesh, Seyed Kazem Mousavi Sadati, Jaleh Bagherli, Mohammad Ali Aslankhani

“…Experiments of experimental groups in 12 sessions, during which,they learned to do breaststroke in a traditional and differential way. Before and after 12 training sessions, the mean Muscle activity based on root mean square index (RMS) and the mean time of activity of the muscles of the right thigh, anterior buttock and internal twins of the swimmers were measured.Results: Based on the results of Bon Ferroni test, the mean RMS of Rectus femoris, Biceps femoris (P = 0.001), tibialis Anterior (P = 0.04) and Gastrocnemius (P = 0.005) of swimmers of the differential group is significantly larger than the control group in the post-test. …”

From Dryland to Aquatic Exercise: Improving Selected Physical Fitness and Swimming Performance Parameters of Elite Adolescent Athletes With Disabilities by Bazuri Fadillah Amin, Abdul Sukur, Sudradjat Wiradihardja, Samsudin, Hernawan, Ruslan Abdul Gani, Ahmet Kurtoğlu, Amayra Tannoubi, Cristina Ioana Alexe, Edi Setiawan

“…In the control group there was the same increase in physical fitness HGS [p < .001, d = –1.43], CMJ [p < .001, d = –1.24], YYIRTL1 [p = 0.015, d = –0.53]), and swimming performance (freestyle [p < .001, d = 1.50], backstroke [p < .001, d = 0.91], breaststroke [p = 0.003, d = 0.67]). The findings of 2-Way Anova repeated measures showed that there was a significant effect of “time”, “group” and “interaction” on physical fitness and swimming performance parameters. …”

Augmented-reality swim goggles accurately and reliably measure swim performance metrics in recreational swimmers by Dan Eisenhardt, Aidan Kits, Pascal Madeleine, Afshin Samani, David C. Clarke, Mathias Kristiansen

“…Overall, for pool length time, the residuals were within ±1.0s for 65.3% of the total pool lengths, for stroke count within ±1 stroke for 62.6% of the total pool lengths, and for stroke rate within ±2 strokes/min for 66.40% of the total pool lengths.ConclusionThe FORM Goggles were found valid and reliable for the tracking of pool length time, pool length count, stroke count, stroke rate, and stroke type during freestyle, backstroke, and breaststroke swimming in recreational swimmers and triathletes when compared with video analysis. …”
