A fluid or water deprivation test is a medical test [1] which can be used to determine whether the patient has diabetes insipidus as opposed to other causes of polydipsia (a condition of excessive thirst that causes an excessive intake of water). The patient is required, for a prolonged period, to forgo intake of water completely, to determine ...
In competitive freediving the techniques for descent and ascent are largely specified by the rules of the specific discipline, and are quite varied, and range from unaided swimming, to pulling oneself along a shotline, to descending using a heavy weight and ascending using an inflatable lift bag.

The classification test has three components: "a bench test, a water test, observation during competition." [ 39 ] American swimmers are assessed by four people: a medical classified, two general classified and a technical classifier.
Swimming classification generally has three components. The first is a bench test which tests strength levels. The second is water test to assess how the swimmer performs each stroke. The third is in competition observation. [55] As part of the water test, swimmers are often required to demonstrate their swimming technique for all four strokes.
The Swolf score is the number of seconds (for a given lap, 25 or 50 meters), plus the number of swimming strokes made in the same distance. [ 1 ] After a swimmer has learned to swim longer distances at a constant, high power output, it becomes essential to improve the swimming efficiency: Achieving a higher acceleration per swimming stroke, and ...
Swimming classification for S1 swimmers generally has three components. The first is a bench press. The second is water test. The third is in competition observation. [44] [45] As part of the water test, swimmers are often required to demonstrate their swimming technique for all four strokes. They usually swim a distance of 25 meters for each ...
In a joint statement of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes and the American Diabetes Association [13] the authors pointed out that "The Ambulatory Glucose Profile (AGP) has been recommended as a potential universal software report that could be adopted to standardize summary metrics among devices and manufacturers." They went on ...
