SUCCESS RATE OF RESULTS IN SWIMMING 400m FREESTYLE DEPENDANT OF TIME TRIALS BY SECTIONS

Abstract

For the purpose of this research, sample of 36 participants was divided into three sub-samples of 12
swimmers, participants in Open Championship of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2017 and 2018, as well
as rally at 25th International memorial race “Ante Lambaša“ in Belgrade in 2017. Data was obtained
from entries for time trials as well as final results of competition in 400m freestyle swimming. Research
was conducted with the aim of establishing the influence of sections (50m, 100m, 150m,
200m, 250m, 300m and 350m) as predictor set of variables and influence on criterion variable of
success rate of results in 400m freestyle swimming. Results obtained using the regression analysis
lead to conclusion that there is statistically significant connection between the set of variables (50m,
100m, 150m, 200m, 250m, 300m and 350m) and criterion variable of 400m freestyle swimming.
Values of coefficient of multiple correlation which determine the influence of the set of of predictor
variables (50m, 100m, 150m, 200m, 250m, 300m and 350m) to criterion variable of 400m freestyle
swimming are respectively: for 50 m 42%, 100 m 52%, 150 m 65%, 200 m 67%, 250 m 67%, 300 m
68%, 350 m 43% of the common variance of swimmers who took part in rally “Olimp Banja Luka” in
2018.
Values of coefficient of multiple correlation which determine the influence of the set of of predictor
variables (50m, 100m, 150m, 200m, 250m, 300m and 350m) to criterion variable of 400m freestyle
swimming are respectively:for 50 m 58%, 100 m 59%, 150 m 71%, 200 m 70%, 250 m 71%, 300 m
70%, 350 m 41% of the common variance of swimmers who took part in rally “Olimp Banja Luka” in
2017.
Values of coefficient of multiple correlation which determine the influence of the set of of predictor
variables (50m, 100m, 150m, 200m, 250m, 300m and 350m) to criterion variable of 400m freestyle
swimming are respectively:for 50 m 58%, 100 m 65%, 150 m 62%, 200 m 84%, 250 m 67%, 300 m
89%, 350 m 76% of the common variance of swimmers who took part in rally 25th International
memorial race “Ante Lambaša“in 2017 in Belgrade.
Conclusion: set of predictor variables (50m, 100m, 150m, 200m, 250m, 300m and 350m) of freestyle
swimming has significant percentage of influence to criterion variable 400m freestyle swimming for
swimmers who took part in rally 25th International memorial race “Ante Lambaša“ in Belgrade in
2017 in Seerbia when compared to the same one for swimmers who took part in Open Championship
of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2017 and 2018.
