abstract = {Competitive progressions are necessary to ensure that peak performance
occurs when medals are decided. This study aimed to: i) study
the coefficient of variation (CV) and performance changes (%Δ) among
swimmers who participated in different rounds (i.e., heats, semi-finals
and finals); ii) study the CV changes as a function of FINA-points. A total
of 1447 performances were analysed in the 100 and 200 m-races
during the Budapest 2021 European-Championships. Linear mixedeffects
models were applied for total and split-times to obtain intraathlete
CV and %Δ. The FINA-points were studied with two-way
ANOVA and Pearson’s correlation assessed the relations with CV. The
CV in 100 m-races was: 0.48 ± 0.21% for males and 0.50 ± 0.20% for
females (Δ = −0.66%); in 200 m-races: 0.63 ± 0.36% and 0.60 ± 0.34% (Δ
= −0.82%). There were differences in FINA-points between strokes and
distances (p < 0.02) associated with higher CV for the 200 m-races (r =
0.37; p = 0.003), indicating changes in performance over the rounds.
Swimmers’ finalists performed easier during the heats by going slower
in the first 50 m-lap; however, some of them would have little chance
of qualifying during major championships because some events were
below FINA-points world-standards.},
