Abstract

Archival records of US Masters Swimming performances were examined for changes between 1981 and 2021. Both national records and top 10 swimmers were used. Substantial secular changes were found averaging 0.52%/yr, with women improving more than men and with improvements in national records greater than in the top 10. Performances by women in 2021 were at parity (national records) or near parity (top 10) with men in 1981. The results indicate that secular effects must be considered along with longitudinal age-related changes and cross-sectional cohort effects in interpreting age differences in physiological function.

游泳大师成绩的周期性变化：40 年的跟踪研究。

我们研究了 1981 年至 2021 年期间美国游泳大师赛的成绩变化档案记录。国家记录和前 10 名游泳运动员均被采用。结果发现，平均每年有 0.52% 的实质性长期变化，女性的进步大于男性，全国纪录的进步大于前 10 名选手的进步。2021 年的女子成绩与 1981 年的男子成绩持平（全国纪录）或接近持平（前 10 名）。结果表明，在解释生理功能的年龄差异时，必须考虑世俗效应以及与年龄有关的纵向变化和横截面队列效应。

期刊介绍： Experimental Aging Research is a life span developmental and aging journal dealing with research on the aging process from a psychological and psychobiological perspective. It meets the need for a scholarly journal with refereed scientific papers dealing with age differences and age changes at any point in the adult life span. Areas of major focus include experimental psychology, neuropsychology, psychobiology, work research, ergonomics, and behavioral medicine. Original research, book reviews, monographs, and papers covering special topics are published.
