Figure 5 – Correlations between the deviation (sum of the absolute<br />

score values) <strong>in</strong> bl<strong>in</strong>d swimm<strong>in</strong>g <strong>and</strong> glid<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

The Hildreth test showed that 96.4% of the subjects were right h<strong>and</strong><br />

(RH) dom<strong>in</strong>ant (27 subjects out of 28). The Starosta test showed that<br />

66.6% of our subjects were left leg (LL) dom<strong>in</strong>ant, the rema<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g be<strong>in</strong>g<br />

right leg (RL) dom<strong>in</strong>ant. Hence, 66.6% had the cross laterality comb<strong>in</strong>ation<br />

RH-LL. When compar<strong>in</strong>g the absolute score values between the<br />

RH-LL <strong>and</strong> RH-RL subjects, that is, how much the deviation from the<br />

straight l<strong>in</strong>e was regardless of the direction, no significant difference <strong>in</strong><br />

bl<strong>in</strong>d front crawl or backstroke were found. In breaststroke, a significant<br />

difference was found (po<strong>in</strong>ts±SD, 7.88±2.49 versus 9.88±1.90, p
