Table 1.
Participant baseline spirometry and individual change for FEV1, FVC and FEF 25-75 in response to practice, swim test and race conditions. Baseline spirometry expressed in percent of predicted for age, height and gender. Practice, swim and race delta change expressed as percent change from pre-test values. Range, Minimum, Maximum, Mean and Standard Deviation are provided for the entire sample (n = 25). Statistical significance (p) is provided as the pre-post difference for each measure at each condition.
