Measurement High infection Low infection
VCL (μm·s−1) 93.95 (±9.26) 111.35 (±7.12)
VSL (μm·s−1) 50.40 (±5.75) 52.73 (±3.60)
VAP (μm·s−1) 78.01 (±8.34) 88.93 (±(5.87)
LIN 52.05 (±1.95) 47.47 (±1.42)
STR 63.87 (±1.34) 59.53 (±1.41)
% Rapid sperm 42.93 (±6.48) 58.21 (±6.07)
% Static sperm 28.18 (±6.82) 9.65 (±4.05)

VSL, straight line velocity; VCL, curvilinear velocity; VAP, average path velocity; % static, proportion of unmotile cells; % rapid, proportion of rapid cells; LIN, linearity of the swimming trajectory (VSL/VCL); STR, straightness of the swimming trajectory (VSL/VAP).
