Description
Swim velocity (for 1500 meters) with and without wearing a wetsuit
Format
A dataset with 12 observations on the following 4 variables.
Wetsuit Maximum swim velocity (m/sec) when wearing a wetsuit
NoWetsuit Maximum swim velocity (m/sec) when wearing a regular bathing suit
Gender Gender of swimmer: F or M
Type Type of athlete: swimmer or triathlete
Details
A study tested whether wearing wetsuits influences swimming velocity.
Twelve competitive swimmers and triathletes swam 1500m at maximum speed twice each; once wearing a wetsuit and once wearing a regular bathing suit.
The order of the trials was randomized.
Each time, the maximum velocity in meters/sec of the swimmer was recorded.
