Sperm motility and motion kinematics following capacitation

Sperm motility and motion kinematics Before-capacitation After-capacitation
MOT (%) 85.33 ± 2.80 87.42 ± 1.77
HYP (%) 5.76 ± 1.42 15.89 ± 2.26*
VCL (μm/s) 119.56 ± 2.22 147.28 ± 5.04*
VSL (μm/s) 75.87 ± 0.97 64.85 ± 1.00*
VAP (μm/s) 81.06 ± 2.48 81.57 ± 2.51
ALH (μm) 5.9 ± 0.19 6.97 ± 0.24*

Sperm motility and motion kinematics are presented as mean ± SEM, n =3, *P <0.05. MOT = motility (%); HYP = hyperactivated sperm (%); VCL = curvilinear velocity (μm/s); VSL = straight-line velocity (μm/s); VAP = average path velocity (μm/s); ALH = mean amplitude of head lateral displacement (μm).
