Relationship between anaerobic power and start performance parameters in adolescent swimmers.
Article in BMC sports science, medicine & rehabilitation, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundStart performance is a critical determinant of success in competitive swimming. This study investigated the relationships between anaerobic power (AP), vertical jump height (VJ), and flight distance (FD) in adolescent swimmers.
methodsFifty-four Tier 2 adolescent swimmers (32 males, 22 females; age: 13.57 ± 1.31 years) participated in the study. Anaerobic power was calculated using the Lewis formula, and FD was measured via video analysis with Kinovea software. Statistical analyses included independent samples t-tests, Pearson correlations, and multiple regression models to identify performance predictors.
resultsSignificant gender differences were observed in body height, weight, VJ, FD, and AP (all p < 0.05), with males outperforming females, while training experience was similar. FD showed a significant positive correlation with AP (r = 0.51, p < 0.001), representing a moderate effect size. Multiple regression analysis further revealed that Age (β = 0.65, p < 0.001) and Gender (β = 0.32, p = 0.003) were the primary predictors of FD, while AP did not emerge as an independent predictor in the final model.
conclusionAlthough anaerobic power is associated with start performance, age and gender are the strongest predictors of flight distance in adolescent swimmers. These findings add to previous research by highlighting the importance of maturational and technical development for optimizing start efficiency during early specialization.
