A process, occurring at the cellular level, that is involved in the reproductive function of a multicellular or single-celled organism. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of a male gamete over time, from initial commitment of the cell to a specific fate, to the fully functional differentiated cell. The directed, self-propelled movement of a cellular component without the involvement of an external agent such as a transporter or a pore. Any process involved in the controlled movement of a sperm cell. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of a biological process. Biological processes are regulated by many means; examples include the control of gene expression, protein modification or interaction with a protein or substrate molecule. Self-propelled movement of a cell or organism from one location to another. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of locomotion of a cell or organism. A developmental process by which a progressive change in the state of some part of an organism specifically contributes to its ability to form offspring. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of a cellular process, any of those that are carried out at the cellular level, but are not necessarily restricted to a single cell. For example, cell communication occurs among more than one cell, but occurs at the cellular level. Any process involved in the controlled self-propelled movement of a cell that results in translocation of the cell from one place to another. The process by which the controlled movement of a sperm cell is initiated as part of the process required for sperm to reach fertilization competence. A developmental process, independent of morphogenetic (shape) change, that is required for a cell to attain its fully functional state. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of locomotion of a cell or organism. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the movement of a cellular component. A process required for sperm to reach fertilization competence. Sperm undergo an incompletely understood series of morphological and molecular maturational processes, termed capacitation, involving, among other processes, protein tyrosine phosphorylation and increased intracellular calcium. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the movement of a cellular component.
