Lett. 27(7), 773–780 (2006) Prediction of the Results in 400-Metres Hurdles in Two Different Time Intervals Using Statistical Learning Methods Krzysztof Przednowek1(B) , Janusz Iskra2 , and Karolina H. pl Abstract. This research presents the selected statistical learning methods in predicting the results of 400 m hurdles in two different time intervals. The calculated models predict results in selected training period and in annual training cycle. In the study, detailed training programs of 21 Polish hurdlers were analyzed.
