This research investigates the connection between modified 3-minute all-out test parameters and official swimming performance across different distances.
Twenty-three trained swimmers participated and performed the modified 3-minute all-out test.
Swimming performance was assessed in races of 50-, 100-, and 200-m front crawl after a 6-week period.
Correlation analysis was conducted using Pearson's and Spearman's methods to relate test parameters to race times.
Multiple linear regression models were developed incorporating critical speed, curvature constant, and anaerobic speed reserve to predict race performance.
There was a significant correlation between critical speed and race times, which increased with longer distances.
The critical speed model underestimated race times for 50- and 200-m races but was accurate for the 100-m race.
Multiple linear regression predictions showed no significant difference from actual race times across all distances.
