  1. AIC of the generalized additive models (GAMs) explaining the variation of HR was lowest when all variables of the time of day, water temperature (Tw), and external acceleration averaged over 6 s (EA6) were included. The effective degree of freedom (EDF) is a proxy for the degree of non-linearity of the term effect. The adjusted R2 of the model was 0.206
