EVOLUTION OF 200M INDIVIDUAL MEDLEY SWIMMING PERFORMANCE: A GLIMPSE INTO WORLD RECORD PROGRESSION
Keywords:
Individual Medley, Swimming Performance, World RecordAbstract
Swimming being a very important event for any games, especially the Olympics an analysis has been made of the progression of the world record timing in 200m (IM) for both the men and women category. It is clear that the record time has reduced over the year. We have predicted some of the key factors like technology, training, environmental factors and pool design which may have contributed to this progression of world record time.
