200 = mean swimming speed of the 200-m; VO = peak oxygen uptake; A = amplitude of the fast component in the 200-m maximal effort; TD = time of the onset of the fast component in the 200-m maximal effort; t = time constant of the fast component in the 200-m maximal effort; A = amplitude of the fast component in the 200-m recovery period; t = time constant of the fast component in the 200-m recovery period; CV = coefficient of variation; CI = confidence interval.
