The findings of the study suggest that the introduction of an implanted stent can disrupt blood flow and result in an abnormal accumulation of lipids on the inner surface of the arterial wall, particularly in the vicinity of the strut protrusion. Additionally, improper stent implantation, characterized by thick struts, reduced spacing between struts, and non-streamlined struts can exacerbate the local mechanical conditions of the host artery and contribute to a relatively high concentration of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) near the stent strut.

The tests were video-recorded and the following kinematic variables were calculated: swimming velocity, stroke frequency, stroke length and stroke index. <i>Results</i>: No significant changes in kinematic variables were observed. However, a strong correlation (<i>r</i> = 0.83) occurred between the swimming velocity of the 4 × 25 m test and the finish velocity of the 100 m test. The stroke index of the 4 × 25 m test was strongly correlated with the swimming velocity of the 100 m test (<i>r</i> = 0.89). <i>Conclusions</i>: Although lifeguard training did not improve swimming kinematics, it is worthwhile using training methods to check the preparation level of a lifeguard to ensure that he/she is properly trained to help people drowning in water bodies.</p>","PeriodicalId":519996,"journal":{"name":"Acta of bioengineering and biomechanics","volume":"27 1","pages":"111-118"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144370041","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
