It seems obvious you would take two groups, have one group work on some new aspect, then retest in 6 weeks and see if the groups differ in how much their performances change.
How long does it take to learn a new technique in swimming?
I have been working on my EVF for more than six weeks, and it seems to be getting better, but it isn't quite there yet. Specifically in the last six weeks when I have been focusing on making changes to my body position to allow an earlier catch, I have actually gotten slower. Am I on the wrong track?
