gliding phase

The gliding phase is also longer during the underwater stroke after the start and each turn.

After the stroke the body is kept in the initial position for some time to utilize the gliding phase.

Conserving energy during the gliding phase makes this a more energy-efficient model.

Depending on the distance and fitness the duration of this gliding phase varies.

While flying they rest in short gliding phases.

Most swimmers dolphin kick after an initial gliding phase.

Usually the gliding phase is shorter during sprints than during long distance swimming.

After a short gliding phase, the cycle repeats with the preparation for the next power phase.

The swimmer breathes out through mouth and nose during the recovery and gliding phase.

However, the gliding phase is usually the longest phase in one entire cycle of breaststroke.

After the start a gliding phase follows under water, followed by dolphin kicks swim under water.

The anatomy of Unenlagia, the scientists said, suggested that flying began from the ground up, without an intervening arboreal gliding phase.

Flight when flushed is characterised by a zigzag pattern with short gliding phases and rapid wingbeats.

After entering the water a brief underwater gliding phase follows, followed by an underwater flutter kick or butterfly kick.

After a gliding phase, an underwater pull-out is done, followed by another gliding phase and then regular swimming.

After a brief gliding phase, the swimmer starts with either a flutter kick or a butterfly kick before surfacing no more than 15 m from the wall.

Slow butterfly (also known as moth stroke): Similar to butterfly, but with an extended gliding phase, Breathing during the pull/push phase, return head into water during recovery.

After the start a gliding phase follows under water, followed by one underwater pulldown and dolphin kick, then one whip kick as the hands are recovered back to a streamline.

The swimmer continues with the regular breaststroke, consisting of a gliding phase, an underwater pull-down, and another gliding phase before surfacing and swimming normal breaststroke.

Even though an arboreal Archaeopteryx exerts energy climbing the tree, an arboreal Archaeopteryx is able to achieve higher velocities and cover greater distances during the gliding phase, which conserves more energy in the long run than a cursorial bipedal runner.
