Short-course performance variation across all race sections: How 100 and 200 m elite male swimmers progress between rounds

To investigate performance variation in all race sections, i.e., start, clean swimming, and turns, of elite short-course races for all swimming strokes and to determine the effect of performance variation on race results. Comparing finalists and non-qualified swimmers, a total of 256 races of male s...

Description
Summary:To investigate performance variation in all race sections, i.e., start, clean swimming, and turns, of elite short-course races for all swimming strokes and to determine the effect of performance variation on race results. Comparing finalists and non-qualified swimmers, a total of 256 races of male swimmers (  = 128, age: 23.3 ± 3.1, FINA points: 876 ± 38) competing in the European short-course swimming championships were analyzed. The coefficient of variation (CV) and relative change in performance (Δ%) were used to compare intra-individual performance progression between rounds and inter-individual differences between performance levels using a linear mixed model. While most performance variables declined during the races (
