Variation in competition performance, number of races, and age: Long-term athlete development in elite female swimmers

While talent development and the contributing factors to success are hardly discussed among the experts in the field, the aim of the study was to investigate annual variation in competition performance (AVCP), number of races per year, and age, as potential success factors for international swimming competitions. Data from 40’277 long-course races, performed by all individual female starters (n = 253) at the 2018 European Swimming Championships (2018EC) for all 10 years prior to these championships, were analyzed. Relationships between 2018EC ranking and potential success factors, i.e., AVCP, number of races per year, and age, were determined using Pearson’s correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression analysis. While AVCP was not related to ranking, higher ranked swimmers at the 2018EC swam more races during each of the ten years prior to the championships (P < 0.001). Additionally, older athletes were more successful (r = -0.42, P < 0.001). The regression model explained highly significant proportions (P < 0.001) and 43%, 34%, 35%, 49% of total variance in the 2018EC ranking for 50m, 100m, 200m, and 400m races, respectively. As number of races per year (β = -0.29 –-0.40) had a significant effect on ranking of 50-400m races, and age (β = -0.40 –-0.61) showed a significant effect on ranking over all race distances, number of races per year and age may serve as success factors for international swimming competitions. The larger number of races swum by higher ranked female swimmers may have aided long-term athlete development regarding technical, physiological, and mental skill acquisitions. As older athletes were more successful, female swimmers under the age of peak performance, who did not reach semi-finals or finals, may increase their chances of success in following championships with increased experience.

Marginal differences in race results between top swimmers have evoked the interest in competition-based success factors of long-term athlete development. To identify novel factors for the multi-dimensional model of talent development, the aim of the study was to investigate annual variation in competition performance (ACV), number of races per year, and age. Therefore, 45,398 race results of all male participants (n = 353) competing in individual events, i.e., butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle, and individual medley, at the 2018 European Long-Course Swimming Championships (2018EC) were analyzed retrospectively for all 10 years prior to the championships with Pearson's correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression analysis. Higher ranked swimmers at the 2018EC showed significant medium correlations with a greater number of races per year and small but significant correlations with higher ACV in 10 and nine consecutive years, respectively, prior to the championships. Additionally, better swimmers were older than their lower ranked peers (r = −0.21, p < 0.001). Regression model explained a significant proportion of 2018EC ranking for 50 m (47%), 100 m (45%), 200 m (31%), and 400 m races (29%) but not for 800 and 1,500 m races with number of races having the largest effect followed by age and ACV. In conclusion, higher performance variation with results off the personal best in some races did not impair success at the season's main event and young competitors at international championships may benefit from success chances that increase with age. The higher number of races swum per year throughout the career of higher ranked swimmers may have provided learning opportunities and specific adaptations. Future studies should quantify these success factors in a multi-dimensional talent development model.

Dividend policy is a management decision of a company in determining the amount of dividend to be distributed to shareholders. Investors who have long-term goals will choose a return in the form of dividends in large quantities or relatively stable to reduce the uncertainty of investors who have invested their funds in the company. This research uses multiple linear regression analysis that will test the influence of net income, sales growth, managerial ownership, and leverage to dividend policy. The samples used in this study were 75 manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the period 2016–2018. The results of this research indicate that net income has a significant effect on dividend policy, while sales growth, managerial ownership, and leverage do not have a significant effect on dividend policy.

Abstract The effect of testosterone (T) substitution therapy on blood vessel functions in relation to cardiovascular disease has not been fully elucidated. In 36 newly diagnosed nonsmoking hypogonadal men (37.5 ± 12.7 yr) endothelium-dependent flow-mediated vasodilatation (FMD; decreased in atherosclerosis) of the brachial artery was assessed before treatment and after 3 months of T substitution therapy (250 mg testosterone enanthate im every 2 wk in 19 men, human chorionic gonadotropin sc twice per week in 17 men). Twenty nonsmoking controls matched for age, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), body height, and baseline diameter of the artery were selected for repeated measurements from a larger eugonadal control group (n = 113). In hypogonadal men, basal FMD (17.9 ± 4.5%) was significantly higher than in the large (11.9 ± 6.4%) and matched control (11.8 ± 7.1%, both P < 0.001) groups. Grouped multiple linear regression analysis revealed a significant negative association of T levels with FMD within the hypogonadal range, but no significant association was seen within the eugonadal range. During substitution therapy, T levels increased from 5.8 ± 2.3 to 17.2 ± 5.1 nmol/liter and FMD decreased significantly to 8.6 ± 3.1% (P < 0.001, analysis for covariance for repeated measurements including matched controls). LDL-C and advanced age contributed significantly to decrease FMD (P = 0.01, P = 0.04, respectively). Because T substitution adversely affects this important predictor of atherosclerosis, other contributing factors (such as smoking, high blood glucose, and LDL-C) should be eliminated or strictly controlled during treatment of hypogonadal men.

The Impact

Liquidity and profitability are closely related economic categories. The issue of constant balancing between liquidity and profitability, in theory known as "liquidity-profitability trade off", has been the subject of significant interest of the scientific community. There is no consensus on the direction of the impact of liquidity on profitability, but the existence of this impact in practice is confirmed. The aim of this paper is to investigate the impact of liquidity on profitability, based on selected traditional financial indicators, for medium and large enterprises in the group of processing and preserving of meat and meat products of the Republic of Serbia, in the period 2016 to 2019. The findings of a multiple linear regression analysis, show that the ratio of long-term sources and fixed assets in the group of processing and preserving of meat and meat products makes a statistically significant contribution predicting the return on assets.

The purpose of this study is to determine the extent to which the independent factors above have an effect on MSME product exports using multiple linear regression analysis. The Error Correction Mechanism (ECM) analytical approach was employed in this study, which covered the period 2010-2020. ECM analysis is capable of resolving short- to long-term imbalances. This study demonstrates that there is no such thing as a short-term-long-term equilibrium. Partially, the rupiah exchange rate against the US dollar, investment, and inflation all had a significant effect on the export of MSME products in Indonesia, while the rupiah exchange rate against the US dollar, MSME growth, and investment all had a significant effect on the export of MSME products in the short term. At various points in time (long and short term), it can be seen that the rupiah's exchange rate against the US dollar and investment had a substantial impact on MSME exports. Simultaneously, all variables had a major effect on the export of MSME products in Indonesia, both in the long and short term.

In this research, we try to determine the influence of a set of success factors on the process of mainstreaming occupational safety and health in school. In the opinion of Andalusian teachers that were involved in an occupational safety and health program, these success factors produce benefits and advantages in the future jobs of students. We have developed a predictive-correlational study with a sample of teachers (N=258) who participated in the educative program: “Aprende a crecer con seguridad, 2009” (Regional Government of Andalusia -Department of Employment and Education-). Teachers evaluated a set of success factors (predictors) based on the model proposed by the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA). The results obtained from a multiple linear regression analysis indicate that factors related to "realization" and "decisions" are the most important predictors of success in acquiring benefits related to the future development of a job by students.
