Note: n.a.—it does not apply. p < 0.05 together with its corresponding r is bolded. Pearson correlation coefficients with clean swimming time, and mean cycle velocity is partial correlation coefficients with transition velocity for the respective laps as control variable. Spearman’s rho rank correlation coefficients for mean cycle length and number of strokes on lap 1 with clean swimming time.
