Chemoreflex Control as the Cornerstone in Immersion Water Sports: Possible Role on Breath-Hold.

Immersion water sports involve long-term apneas; therefore, athletes must physiologically adapt to maintain muscle oxygenation, despite not performing pulmonary ventilation. Breath-holding (i.e., apnea) is common in water sports, and it involves a decrease and increases PaO2 and PaCO2, respectively, as the primary signals that trigger the end of apnea. The principal physiological O2 sensors are the carotid bodies, which are able to detect arterial gases and metabolic alterations before reaching the brain, which aids in adjusting the cardiorespiratory system. Moreover, the principal H+/CO2 sensor is the retrotrapezoid nucleus, which is located at the brainstem level; this mechanism contributes to detecting respiratory and metabolic acidosis. Although these sensors have been characterized in pathophysiological states, current evidence shows a possible role for these mechanisms as physiological sensors during voluntary apnea. Divers and swimmer athletes have been found to displayed longer apnea times than land sports athletes, as well as decreased peripheral O2 and central CO2 chemoreflex control. However, although chemosensitivity at rest could be decreased, we recently found marked sympathoexcitation during maximum voluntary apnea in young swimmers, which could activate the spleen (which is a reservoir organ for oxygenated blood). Therefore, it is possible that the chemoreflex, autonomic function, and storage/delivery oxygen organ(s) are linked to apnea in immersion water sports. In this review, we summarized the available evidence related to chemoreflex control in immersion water sports. Subsequently, we propose a possible physiological mechanistic model that could contribute to providing new avenues for understanding the respiratory physiology of water sports.

The Benefits of Swimming on the Lungs Vital Capacity

Sport is an activity that is useful to nourish the individual body physically and spiritually. Health is an important need and has a major role in survival. Physical health or also called physical fitness has a vital contribution in indicators of a person's overall health status. Through descriptive-qualitative research method by collecting secondary and primary data from several journals. Swimming is a sport that is a form of water sports. Swimming is also a water aerobics sport, where this sport requires a lot of oxygen input. The benefits of this swimming sport are on the respiratory system. The respiratory system is one of the systems found in the individual's body that plays an important role in the process of life. In swimming, which is an aerobic exercise that requires a lot of oxygen, this affects the vital capacity of the lungs. The vital capacity of the lungs is the maximum amount of oxygen that enters the lungs. So that by doing swimming regularly, the vital capacity of the lungs will be better.

The Effectiveness of Shoulder Mobility and Strength Programs in Competitive Water-Polo Players.

Background: Water-polo is the water sport with the highest incidence of injuries, with shoulder pain being the most common one. The understanding of risk factors and guidance on preventive measures is essential in this sport discipline. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of a specific 6-week training plan on range of motion (ROM) and joint strength levels in a group of professional water-polo players. Methods: Quasi-experimental study with a sample of 28 participants (age: 20.1 ± 2.5 years; height: 176.9 ± 6.2 cm; body mass: 74.6 ± 8.1 kg). Three study groups, which consisted of one control group and two experimental groups, were established. Two repeated measurements, pre and post intervention, were performed. During these measurements, ROM of the glenohumeral joint was analyzed both in external (ER) and internal (IR) rotation, as well as the maximal isometric strength. Conclusions: The application of a training program improved glenohumeral joint ROM. ER and IR evolve differently in both shoulders. ER improved only in the throwing arm only in the group undergoing intervention but for the non-dominant side, improvements were observed in both ER and IR, regardless of whether or not they had followed the intervention plan. No improvements were observed in either the isometric strength or contralateral asymmetries.

WATER SPORTS AND ABSTAIN TIME AFTER INJURY

Injuries are painful experiences but also a reality for athletes. This is also the case with water sports such as water skiing and wakeboarding. The nature of both sports gives a multifactorial character to the cause and severity of injuries. The result of these is long abstinence from training, from the games, and the period of returning to competitive action increases. The purpose of this study was to determine the possible relationship between the independent variable of the sport (water-skiing, wakeboard) and the time of abstinence (from training, competing, and return time without physical discomfort). The sample consisted of 140 athletes in both water sports from Greece. The results of the study showed that there are no significant differences between the sports in the time of abstinence from training after injury. However, there are statistically significant differences in the times of abstinence from races and return to races without physical discomfort, with water-skiing athletes abstaining for a significantly longer period. It is recommended to the training and medical staff, to strictly control the athletes for the proper use of the appropriate equipment as a preventive measure, to make an immediate and meticulous diagnosis during the injury, and finally, to follow the protocol of the time required for recovery, to prevent a possible recurrence.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0966/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Development of a tool for individual aquatic risk management among children

Background: When it comes to children’s competence in, on and around water, their risk competence also plays an important role. For an optimal and save participation in aquatic recreation, there is a crucial need to communicate about a realistic perception of potential dangers in relation to one’s own acutal and perceived aquatic skills. 
 Goals: The aim of this study was to develop and validate a tool for Individual Aquatic Risk Management for Children (IARM-C) useful in both research and practice regarding water safety for elementary school children and their families, as offered in schools, by local communities and different (water) sport organisations.
 Method:
 The IARM-C tool was developed and validated in three subsequent phases: (1) a selection of relevant aquatic situations with possible risks for children based on the literature and discussed with experts, resulting in 10 aquatic situations that were drawn, (2) a pilot study with 22 children to test content (face) validity, and (3) a cross-sectional study with 70 children (6-12 years, 35 girls and 35 boys, 8.9 +/- 2.0 yearsrecruited via convenience sampling in different (swimming) schools in Brussel (Belgium) to test their risk perception, assessement and decision making in these 10 situations.
 Results:
 For each of the 10 aquatic risk situations of the IARM-C, data collection was organised in a one-on-one interview in order to assist the child in completing the questionnaire. Six of the 10 pictures resulted in a correct risk perception for > 80% (range between 83-94%) of the children. For one drawn aquatic risk situation in the swimming pool context (i.e. falling on someone else), only 60% of the children gave a correct description of the situation. In the drawn open water aquatic risk situations, three pictures scored quite low (about 50% (range between 49%-54%)): warning flag at sea, dangerous objects in open water and sandbank at the sea.
 Conclusions:
 The IARM-C tool, showing pictures of aquatic risk situations followed by three categories of questions (risk perception, assessement and decision making), is a usefull instrument for further research and education purposes, especially the swimming pool cases (> 80%).

Water Sport Tourists’ Hesitation in Decision-Making during the COVID-19 Pandemic: The Moderating Effect of Destination Image

Understanding the effect of risk factors on tourists’ hesitation in choosing a destination is vital for successful management in tourism, especially in the pandemic era. Based on protection motivation theory, this study investigated the impact of sport tourists’ perceived risk associated with COVID-19 on their hesitation to choose a tourist destination in the context of water sport tourism. Further, we examined whether the relationship changes according to the levels of tourists’ destination image. Data from a survey of water sport tourists (n = 312) were analyzed using structural equation modeling and Hayes PROCESS macro with bootstrapping procedures. Findings of this research empirically demonstrated that risk factors influence hesitation in choosing a destination. Furthermore, the moderating effect of destination image on the influences of perceived risks on hesitation was identified. The study’s theoretical and practical contributions to the sport tourism literature are also discussed.

Chemical-Bacteriological Composition and Assessment of Ecological Condition of Two Natural Lagoon-Type Lakes in Batumi (Adjara AR)

Seasonal research of two relict lagoon-type lakes of Batumi (Adjara Autonomous Republic, Georgia) – Nuri-Gel and Ardagan waters has been carried out to assess their modern ecological condition. To assess the eco-situation of the lake waters, some physical, organoleptic, biochemical, chemical microbiological qualitative parameters have been experimentally determined. The topicality of the research is due to the fact that people often have an irreversible negative impact on the current sanitary-bacteriological condition of the waters of Lake Nuri-Gel and Ardagan. Based on the research, it has been revealed that in many cases the environmental quality mitigation parameters of the above-mentioned lakes are not within the maximum permissible concentration (MPC), which is caused by the negative impact of anthropogenic factors (such as draining faecal water fecal waters and various waste in lakes, caused, in many cases, by negative human activities). Due to the strategic importance of the research lakes, it is necessary to systematically research the ecological condition of their waters in order to assess the degree of cleanliness of these important ecosystems and to take timely preventive measures. At the same time, it should be noted that both lakes have recreational value and they are used for fishing, water sports and active relaxation, which further exacerbates the problem. To solve the ecological problems of Nuri-Geli and Ardagan lakes, we consider it necessary to carry out systematic cleaning works on them and to carry out periodic sanitary-bacteriological and hydrochemical control over their waters. It is necessary to work in a complex way to successfully overcome the tasks of rational use of their resources.

Zapewnienie bezpieczeństwa na obszarach wodnych. Aspekty prawne

Threats in water areas have forced the legislator to address the issues related to the safety of people staying in these areas, who are required to exercise due diligence in order to protect the life and health of themselves and others. Due diligence is a fundamental factor in providing security. Along with diligence, to perform water rescue it was appropriate to conduct an analysis of threats, including an identification of the places where the safety of people using water areas for swimming, bathing, practising water sports, and recreation, could be endangered. The analysis was conducted by entities who are professionals in the field of water security, i.e. the Police and the bodies authorised to perform water rescue.

Modest Swimwear, Religiosity and Aging: Apparel and Physical Activity for Women Throughout the Life Course

Swim-related activity is one of the most recommended forms of physical activity for older adults, increasing the importance of access to swimming and water sports throughout the life course. This study examined eight online forums addressing topics related to religious-based modesty and moral judgements about different types of swimwear, such as the bikini or the burqini. Online discussion forums dedicated to modest dress for women with religious or faith-based modesty preferences are often called “modesty blogs.” These blogs have grown in popularity and influence on social media, and one of the most controversial topics discussed is the notion of a woman’s choice in swimwear as a moral indicator. This article analyzes the ways in which these blogs serve as informal sites of knowledge production and sites of religious interpretation. These forums reveal insights about physical activity and the sense of belonging regarding modesty within a moralized domain. The review of these modesty blogs resulted in examples of (1) modest swimwear as empowering for religious women throughout the life course, (2) conflicting modesty narratives, and (3) modesty as a way to avoid shame and uphold middle-class values. Apparel-related barriers to physical activity, including swimwear and water sport, have the potential to negatively impact the health and well-being of religious women and their families throughout the life course.

Environmental Vulnerability: Theoretical Study of SARSCoV-2 Control During Team Water Sports / Vulnerabilidade ambiental: Estudo teórico do controle do SARSCoV-2 durante esportes aquáticos coletivos

This paper analyzes possible chains of transmission of SARS CoV-2 during water sports practice and discuss control measures of COVID-19 adopted through specific national and international health protocols, more specifically related to the insertion of interventions in the city to propitiate the development of aquatic activities. This is explorative research of technical literature review to present the current state of knowledge regarding the occurrence, persistence and possibility of virus transmission during the practice of collective water sports and related activities. National and International health protocols were analyzed in terms of their safety, functionality and premises. The protocols and studies examined emphasize concerns that the airways are the route of transmission with the highest rate of contamination through respiratory droplets and contact with contaminated surfaces. The research confirmed the hypothesis that the current preventive measures established in health protocols to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in aquatic environments if observed, are sufficient to prevent the transmission of the disease in these locations. More specifically, to control the spread of the new coronavirus, it is necessary to avoid close contact with another individual without facial protection, crowds, and places with poor ventilation.
