In this paper, we describe a dynamic control algorithm that allows a humanoid character to swim through a fluid. The swimming is physically-based, whereby the character applies simulated muscle forces in order to drive the body through the motions of a breaststroke. The interaction between the moving body parts and a fluid dynamics system results in drag forces that cause the swimmer’s body to ...

Introduction: Holding the breath during exercise causes hypoxia. This study set out to investigate the effect of the 12-week hypoxic interval training on lung volume and records of elite swimmers in 50 and 100 meters breaststroke. Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 22 male swimmers were randomly divided into the hypoxic interval training group (n: 13; age: 16.61±1.39 years; he...

It is vital to maintaining a constant direction during locomotion. Turning in walking is triggered by the impulse from the leg located outside its rotation axis. Then, the centre of gravity is relocated in the direction of an inside limb [1]. It is commonly believed that similar correlation can be observed in swimming. Greater propulsion forces produced by the right limbs cause turning left. Th...

Physical education is one of the subjects in schools, including junior high schools. Learning to swim not easy, as case with class VII students at SMPN 1 Cikajang. Where they still have many difficulties learning swim, especially breaststroke swimming. One methods that can be used this Direct Instruction Method (Direct Instruction/DI) Media Video approach. This study aims determine effect incre...

The process of selecting the best swimming athletes is carried out in several test stages, first ability four basic styles which often contested international competitions and second physical abilities possessed by a number athletes. tests related to style consist breaststroke swimming, butterfly backstroke crawlstroke while plyometrics consists banded knee jump, squat jump side, dept Due large...
