1 VCL, average curvilinear velocity; VSL, straight-line velocity; VAP, average path velocity; LIN, linearity (average ratio of VSL/VCL); STR, straightness (average value of the ratio VSL/VAP); ALH, amplitude of lateral head. Values are presented as means ± standard error of the mean (SEM). Values within columns marked with the letters “a” or “b” are significantly different (p < 0.05, n = 4).
