Post-activation time (s)
Figure 3. Effect of the ion composition of the activation media on motility and
velocity parameters at different post-activation times: 10, 20, 40, 60 and 80 s.
Data are expressed as mean ± SEM (n=9). Different letters indicate significant
differences between the different media at the same post-activation time.
Abbreviations: TM, total motility; PM, progressive motility; VCL, curvilinear velocity;
VSL, straight line velocity; VAP, average path velocity.
