"Age” term denotes development of lower-performing seniors. “Age + Age × high-level performance group” denotes development of high-performing swimmers. Abbreviations: rSBT (relative season best time); rMSV (relative maximal sprint velocity); rSI (relative stroke index). Significant predictor variables (p < 0.05) are denoted in bold with adjustments made for one-sided hypothesis testing in the calculation of the p value.
