| Popis | In our study we focused on evaluating the results of long-term measurements of swimmers in junior categories. We have used the results of swimmers who were measured repeatedly three times during a period of measurement with at least one year delay between the measurements. We had a sample group consisting of 5 women aged between 14 and 17 years and 4 men aged between 14 and 19 years. We expected that with increasing age the swimmers will increase their speed (H1) and improve their efficiency (H2) as a result of better efficiency of swimming technique. We were also assessing the differences between men and women. In the case of women we confirmed that both the hypothesis H1 and H2 were correct, whiles in the case of men sample the hypothesis of H1 showed to be correct; however the hypothesis H2 was inconclusive. Therefore it was not possible to confirm the hypothesis H2. |
