Surfing MASH’s Post

#Run for Health is a research project developed in #Brazil to use walking and #running as strategies to promote #physicalactivity among low-income individuals. Poster presented at the #ISBNPA conference! The project is funded by the CNPq - Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico #running #sport #research #CNPq

A 2022 study by Kenshu Shimada and his team suggests that Megalodon was longer and skinnier than previous studies suggest. 🦈 By re-examining the fossilised vertebrae of a Belgian megalodon specimen, Shimada and his team found that the total length of the shark was closer to 11 meters, and not 9 meters. The vertebrae of the Meg are also thinner than their extant relatives’ vertebrae, the great white shark and mako shark, suggesting the animal was skinnierthan we previously thought (built more like a bus than a van). 🚌🦈 This new information can help us learn more about the megalodon’s diet, and swimming speed! 😎 #sharkresearch #megalodon #sharkconservation #oceaneducation #whitesharkprojects #sharkscience

💡 Research News 💡   Dental #health benefits of #swimming in chlorinated water   📃 Poor oral health is an important concern for #athletes, as it can affect both general #health and athletic #performance. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of activity in chlorinated water on oral health in elite swimmers (n=100) compared to non-swimming athletes (n=101). In conclusion, by comparing elite swimmers and athletes competing in different sports, we could show that competitive swimmers have a lower incidence of #dental caries and plaque. 👏 Congratulations to Barbara Sophie Gaugeler for completing her doctoral thesis!   📌 Link to the full text: https://lnkd.in/enKeFPm6.     #ResearchHochgebirgsklinikDavos #davosscience #davosresearch #competitiveswimmers #oralhealth #caries #chlorinatedwater #athletes #triathlon #sportscience #exercise   David Niederseer Barbara Sophie Gaugeler Jan Gerrit van der Stouwe Christian Marc Schmied Martin Lanzer @Christian Templin Dentistry Journal MDPI MDPI jan vontobel Medizincampus Davos Science City Davos

🐟 Let's dive deep into images and discover new swim traits for rainbow trout breeding 🔍 See below the pre-print 💡 If you are interested in whether to breed for high swimming speed, or how to combine quantitative genetics with image analysis, or if you simply like rainbow trout, please read it and feel free to discuss with me 😀 💭 I have presented this work at 3 conferences and really would like it to reach more people. Peer review is taking longer than expected, so I decided first to share the pre-print available from the publisher 👇 https://lnkd.in/eUJVta4e

Throughout my PhD, I extensively studied how fish enhance swimming efficiency by interacting with their surrounding fluid medium. It required various techniques involving fluid flow analyses to show how fish can recapture their own wake to enhance efficiency. Check out how fish do it: https://lnkd.in/e67vCRqg Many fish use their pectoral fins to swim, but we know little about how the wake affects the downstream tail. We studied the Silver Mojarra to show that fish can coordinate their fins to intercept the pectoral fin wake with the tail. This coordination enables the recapture of the pectoral fin wake energy, making swimming more efficient. Observations of these fish in their natural habitat show they commonly employ this coordination for long periods of time. These findings shed light on fish evolution and behavior and offer insights for designing more efficient underwater vehicles inspired by nature.

There's a significant knowledge gap between public consensus on the efficacy of helmets in sport, and true risk reduction for traumatic brain injury. While people have become much more aware of the limitations of helmets in contact sports such as football, in sports like skiing, this gap persists. Four out of five people believe that concussions are reduced by wearing a helmet while skiing. Several studies have shown no reduction in traumatic brain injury second helmet use, and a recent study published in 2020 out of Dartmouth-Hitchcock showed increased risk of traumatic brain injury. Many people respond with anger when I address this subject, and resort to anecdotes as "proof" of efficacy. I've been accused of being irresponsible by providing this education multiple times. My point is not to stir anger. Nor is it to convince people to not wear helmets. But I do think that the very most responsible thing is to educate people that helmet use provides very little safety, and therefore, it should not result in adjusting risk taking behavior. Let me propose a scenario. A skier stands on the top of a peak and has two optional lines. One requires a mandatory 30 ft. drop with a steep landing into a couloir. The other is without any technical elements. Prior to the descent, the skier is told they can't use their helmet. How many people are going to choose the riskier line in that scenario? Which impacts their risk more, the helmet or the decision about terrain? How many people would ski a super pipe without a helmet? Our decisions around what we do and the chances we take far out way any effect of protective equipment. I'm also not suggesting people don't take risks, but rather feel people should be fully informed when making decisions. If you wouldn't do it without a helmet, you might want to reconsider doing it with a helmet. #tbi #concussion #helmet
