Features of teaching students in sports swimming techniques

The purpose of the work: to reveal the peculiarities of teaching students the technique of sports swimming. Methodology: theoretical research methods were used, in particular, the analysis and generalization of methodological, psychological-pedagogical and educational-methodical literature, which made it possible to determine the peculiarities of teaching students the technique of sports swimming. Scientific novelty: swimming, as a sport, is associated with the execution of cyclic movements, the main task of which is to achieve a high result. In terms of the number of Olympic medals won, swimming is second only to athletics, so swimming as an educational subject is one of the most important disciplines of the physical education course in higher education institutions. However, the content of training in this subject is not always in accordance with the modern theory of swimming. The forms and methods of teaching have been improved, the technique of sports swimming methods, starts and turns of the world's leading swimmers is being studied. One of the tasks of the article is to summarize the valuable work experience of domestic swimming sports specialists of the country's leading universities. Conclusions: optimization of the teaching of this discipline is important for the further expansion of the possibilities of using swimming aids in practical activities with students. So, for example, the inclusion of new technologies for conducting classes in the educational process. Swimming classes with students are often conducted by teachers of various sports specializations, who have difficulties in selecting equipment, choosing methods and teaching methods, therefore it is important to reveal the peculiarities of teaching sports swimming techniques. Also, in the article, the peculiarities of teaching the technique of sports swimming, in addition to the characteristics of the main movements, historical information about the method of swimming is disclosed, its general characteristics, sports and applied significance are given. The technique of performing starts and turns is described in detail.

Development of Swimming Learning Aid Design toward Acceleration of Learning Swimming Techniques

This study aims to: 1) Produce swimming learning aids, 2) Swimming aids that are easy to use and practical. The population of the small class trial was 20 students who could not swim, while the main field test was conducted on 40 students of SMA Negeri 5 Ambon. The research method used is the development research method (R&D) and the development model follows the ten stages of product design, namely; 1) potential and problems; 2) Data collection; 3) product design; 4) design validation; 5) trial use; 6) product revision; 7) product trial; 8) design revision; 9) product revision and; 10) mass production. The data collection technique was carried out based on needs analysis, especially on the basic aspects of development, namely: 1) the vest/float used greatly interfered with movement, especially movement efficiency; 2) float tires are not practical to use to learn basic swimming techniques; 3) the float board cannot help learn to swim if there is an accident in the water and the student cannot float. The use of these three tools does not immediately help speed up learning basic swimming techniques. This study concludes that the development of the design of swimming learning aids to accelerate learning of basic swimming techniques has been designed in the form of a waist buoy/save belt, has been validated by expert judgment and tested for use in small classes and is suitable for use in large class studies. . The results of the product design development of this tool are suitable for use in the form of "Save Belt".

Distributed propulsion enables fast and efficient swimming modes in physonect siphonophores

Many fishes employ distinct swimming modes for routine swimming and predator escape. These steady and escape swimming modes are characterized by dramatically differing body kinematics that lead to context-adaptive differences in swimming performance. Physonect siphonophores, such as Nanomia bijuga, are colonial cnidarians that produce multiple jets for propulsion using swimming subunits called nectophores. Physonect siphonophores employ distinct routine and steady escape behaviors but-in contrast to fishes-do so using a decentralized propulsion system that allows them to alter the timing of thrust production, producing thrust either synchronously (simultaneously) for escape swimming or asynchronously (in sequence) for routine swimming. The swimming performance of these two swimming modes has not been investigated in siphonophores. In this study, we compare the performances of asynchronous and synchronous swimming in N. bijuga over a range of colony lengths (i.e., numbers of nectophores) by combining experimentally derived swimming parameters with a mechanistic swimming model. We show that synchronous swimming produces higher mean swimming speeds and greater accelerations at the expense of higher costs of transport. High speeds and accelerations during synchronous swimming aid in escaping predators, whereas low energy consumption during asynchronous swimming may benefit N. bijuga during vertical migrations over hundreds of meters depth. Our results also suggest that when designing underwater vehicles with multiple propulsors, varying the timing of thrust production could provide distinct modes directed toward speed, efficiency, or acceleration.

Validity and Reliability of Shark Buoy Swimming Aid

Meanwhile, to measure the reliability of the swimming aid, 30 swimming coaches were chosen randomly to fill out the questionnaire according to the extent of their satisfaction regarding the swimming aid. The result shows that the swimming aid has a good score of reliability, which is 0.80. The reliability has been evaluated using a Cronbach Alpha in the SPSS. In short, the swimming aid is suitable to be used as a teaching aid to teach children how to swim effectively.

Ilex paraguariensisA. St.-Hil. (Yerba Mate) Differently Regulates the Lipid Mobilization and, Irisin and Lactate Levels in Sedentary and Chronic Swimming Mice

Healthy mice were submitted or not to daily chronic swimming and/or daily yerba mate (YM) infusion intake and had their bloods analyzed after four weeks. We hypothesized that daily intake of YM may act differently on lipid mobilization and, on the creatine, lactate and irisin levels in sedentary mice and those submitted to chronic exercise. The groups were (n=48): YM-non-treated control (NTC), YM-non-treated swimming control (NSC), non-roasted YM (NRY), roasted YM (RY), swimming plus non-roasted YM (SNRY), swimming plus roasted YM (SRY). No significant (P>0.05) difference was observed concerning creatine phosphoskinase (CPK) value. Lactate level decreased significantly (P<0.05) for SNRY and SRY, suggesting accelerated lipid mobilization and glycogen sparing potential. There was significant (P<0.05) body weight loss in all, except for NTC. Higher weight loss in NRY, RY, SNR and SRY indicated greater lipid mobilization. Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and irisin had significantly (P<0.05) higher values for RY. This is first report that deals with the effect of YM consumption on serum irisin level. Major amounts of caffeic acid derivatives, slightly increased caffeine and less amount of rutin may be responsible by accelerated lipoperoxidation in sedentary healthy mices chronically treated with roasted YM. Chronically consumed YM plus swimming aid in healthy weight loss. Sedentary lifestyle plus roasted YM chronic consumption may cause accelerated lipid mobilization and increased TBARS production via irisin overexpression leading to an increase in lipoperoxidation.

Rettungsringe und weitere aquanautische Gegenstände. Objekte erweitern die Historiografie der Psychiatrie

The unexpected discovery of two lifebelts in the storeroom of the Schussenried psychiatricclinic (ZfP Südwürttemberg, Bad Schussenried) was not only a big surprise, but also posed amystery to the medical historians and further staff of our Research Unit. The rural locationsurrounding the former Premonstratensian monastery consisting mainly of fields and forestshad, with the exception of a handful of small ponds, no large bodies of open water. The discoveryof these lifebelts in this seemingly unusual context and their subsequent inclusion intoa permanent museum exhibition documenting the local history of psychiatry, generated notonly research into their history, but also brought to light significant new discoveriesin respectto what was previously known about the everyday life and history of such institutions from thelate 19th to the middle of the 20th century. The objects, so untypical in a psychiatric environment,pointed beyond their obvious meaning as a real swimming aid for patients in a nearby pond:the study of their origin and use deepened the knowledge in other fields such as body care,procurement of foodstuff (fishing) and nutrition, straw and ice making, patient work and leisureactivities (bathing, boating, ice-skating). As progress was made with this research, a newchapter in the local history of psychiatry was revealed, one which was undoubtedly worthpursuing.

Locomotion is not a privilege after birth: Ultrasound images of viviparous shark embryos swimming from one uterus to the other

AbstractUnderwater ultrasound, a new tool for observing the internal body parts of aquatic animals by scuba divers, allowed us long‐term and frequent observations of the embryos of captive aquatic vertebrates. New ultrasound data of captive tawny nurse sharks (Nebrius ferrugineus) revealed that their embryos frequently migrate between the right and left uteri during gestation. This report is the first reliable evidence of active embryonic locomotion in live‐bearing vertebrates and is contradictory to the concept of “sedentary embryo” which has mainly arisen from studies of mammals. The tawny nurse shark is unique among orectolobiform sharks, in which the embryo develops by feeding on sibling eggs in utero. Thus, we hypothesized that swimming aids in an efficient search and capture of these eggs in the uterine environment.

Physiological and performance characteristics at maximum intensity freestyle and swimming aids in young swimmers

Swimming Stroke Mechanical Efficiency and Physiological Responses of 100-m Backstroke with and without the use of paddles.

The use of swimming aids during training contributes to greater swimming efficiency by the improvement of the swimming specific power of the athlete. The purpose of this study was to compare the swimming stroke technical characteristics and the physiological responses of swimming 100-m backstroke, with and without the use of paddles at maximum and sub-maximum intensities at the same swimming speed. Eight swimmers competing at the national level participated in this study. The measurements took place at 4 different sessions. At every session, each participant swam individually one 100-m backstroke swimming trial with or without paddles at the same speed and two levels of intensity (100% and 85% of maximum speed). The results revealed lower stroke length, greater stroke number and gliding length without the use of swimming paddles at both intensities. Blood lactate concentration (10.03±2.96 vs. 5.85±2.23 mmol/l) and Rating of Perceived Exertion (17.43±2.07 vs. 12±2.82) were greater without the use of swimming paddles only at 100% of maximum speed. Thus, swimming backstroke with paddles compared to unaided swimming, at a similar speed, showed a greater efficiency at maximal but not at sub-maximal intensity.

Intervention to Improve the Quality of Life of a Bottlenose Dolphin That Developed Necrosis on the Tail Flukes

[Purpose, Case, and Methods] A female bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) in captivity developed necrosis of the tail flukes. Although the diseased site healed after surgical resection, the loss of approximately 75% of the tail greatly affected her swimming performance. To restore swimming ability, we developed artificial tail flukes as a prosthetic swimming aid and provided physical therapy that included swimming training from postoperative day 1 to day 1427. [Results] The prosthetic enabled the dolphin to recover swimming ability almost to the level prior to disease onset, but even acquire applied movement, and reestablish social relationships, thus greatly improving the animal's quality of life. [Conclusion] The results clearly demonstrate that, as in postoperative rehabilitation in humans, the use of prosthetic devices in physical therapy can be beneficial for marine animals such as dolphins.
