What is a "stroke"?

A stroke occurs when part of the brain does not receive enough oxygen and nutrients because the blood supply is cut off or reduced. This can happen because of a blockage in an artery, known as an ischemic stroke, or the bursting of a blood vessel, known as a hemorrhagic stroke. Symptoms of a stroke include sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body, difficulty speaking or understanding speech, confusion, trouble walking, dizziness, and an intense headache. Immediate medical attention is critical for treating a stroke, as early treatment can minimize brain damage and improve outcomes. Treatment may involve medications, procedures to remove blood clots, and rehabilitation to regain lost functions.

Example

A stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the brain either becomes blocked ( ischemic stroke ) or bursts ( hemorrhagic stroke ).

Mrtvice nastává, když se krevní céva v mozku buď ucpe (ischemická mrtvice), nebo praskne (hemoragická mrtvice).

Each stroke has a unique pattern and technique, such as freestyle, breaststroke, backstroke, or butterfly. The movement of the arms and legs, combined with breathing and body positioning, helps the swimmer move efficiently and maintain speed. Strokes are an essential part of swimming, used in both recreational swimming and competitive races, with some events focusing on a single stroke while others combine multiple strokes.
