    • Aquaticity: A discussion of the term and of how it applies to humans 

      Varveri D., Karatzaferi C., Pollatou E., Sakkas G.K. (2016)
      The relationship between humans and water and the effects on aspects related to human performance has never been studied scientifically. The aim of the current systematic review is to attempt to define the term "aquaticity", ...

    • Chronic administration of plasma from exercised rats to sedentary rats does not induce redox and metabolic adaptations 

      Goutianos G., Margaritelis N.V., Sparopoulou T., Veskoukis A.S., Vrabas I.S., Paschalis V., Nikolaidis M.G., Kyparos A. (2020)
      The present study aimed to investigate whether endurance exercise-induced changes in blood plasma composition may lead to adaptations in erythrocytes, skeletal muscle and liver. Forty sedentary rats were randomly distributed ...

    • Determinants of Bone Outcomes in Adolescent Athletes at Baseline: The PRO-BONE Study 

      Vlachopoulos D., Ubago-Guisado E., Barker A.R., Metcalf B.S., Fatouros I.G., Avloniti A., Knapp K.M., Moreno L.A., Williams C.A., Gracia-Marco L. (2017)
      Purpose The determinants of areal bone mineral density (aBMD) and hip geometry estimates in adolescent athletes are poorly understood. This study aimed to identify the determinants of aBMD and hip geometry estimates in ...

    • Developing and testing an instrument to assess aquaticity in humans 

      Varveri D., Flouris A.D., Smirnios N., Pollatou E., Karatzaferi C., Sakkas G.K. (2016)
      We developed and validated an aquaticity assessment test (AAT) for the evaluation of human physical adequacy in the water. Forty-six volunteers (25M/21F; 20 ± 8 years) participated and performed 10 easy-to-administer and ...

    • Diet, lung function and swimmers' performance 

      Kokkalis, C. Z.; Athanassaki, M.; Gourgoulianis, K. I.; Molyvdas, P. A. (2001)
      Purpose: The aim of this study was to correlate athletic performance with both lung function and diet. Design: Open, uncontrolled trial. Materials and Methods: Sixty-eight swimmers (28 females and 40 males), 9-15 years ...

    • The Effect of a Surface Combat Swimming Training Program on Swimming Performance 

      Kostoulas I.D., Kounalakis S.N., Toubekis A.G., Kaniadakis A., Karagiannis A., Mavraganis D., Karatrantou K., Gerodimos V. (2021)
      In this study the effect of a surface combat swimming (sCS) training program on performance in freestyle swimming and sCS was examined. Forty-five officer cadets were divided into three equivalent groups: a control group ...

    • An enjoyable school-based swimming training programme improves students’ aquaticity 

      Karatrantou K., Stavrou V., Hasioti P., Varveri D., Krommidas C., Gerodimos V. (2020)
      Aim: The main objectives of this research were to a) examine the test-retest reliability of aquaticity test (study 1), b) investigate the efficacy of ‘swimming lesson’, during the physical education course, in the aquaticity ...

    • Evaluation of respiratory parameters in finswimmers regarding gender, swimming style and distance 

      Stavrou V., Vavougios G., Karetsi E., Adam G., Daniil Z., Gourgoulianis K.I. (2018)
      Aim: The purpose of our study was to investigate the differences in the finswimmers’ physiological characteristics, as far as gender, the swimming style and the different swimming distance are concerned. Methods: 52 ...

    • The Impact of Sport Participation on Bone Mass and Geometry in Male Adolescents 

      Vlachopoulos D., Barker A.R., Williams C.A., Arngrímsson S.A., Knapp K.M., Metcalf B.S., Fatouros I.G., Moreno L.A., Gracia-Marco L. (2017)
      Purpose Exercise is an effective approach for developing bone mass and adolescence is a key period to optimize bone health. However, sports-specific training may have different effects on bone outcomes. This study examined ...

    • Longitudinal determinants of 12-month changes on bone health in adolescent male athletes 

      Ubago-Guisado E., Vlachopoulos D., Fatouros I.G., Deli C.K., Leontsini D., Moreno L.A., Courteix D., Gracia-Marco L. (2018)
      Summary: We identified the determinants of 12-month changes of areal bone mineral density (aBMD), hip geometry and trabecular bone score (TBS) in adolescent male athletes. Changes in region-specific lean mass and the type ...

    • A novel swimming performance test in rats 

      Veskoukis A.S., Kyparos A., Paschalis V., Nikolaidis M.G. (2018)
      Swimming is an advantageous exercise modality since it induces limited muscle damage. Performance is a crucial endpoint measurement of physiological relevance in exercise physiology and clinical settings alike. To our ...
