Analysis of Powerman Zofingen

Participation and Performance Trends in the ITU Duathlon World Championship from 2003 to 2017 Participation and performance over the years has been explored in detail in various endurance sports and ultra-endurance sports. However, there is less information regarding the duathlon (running, cycling, running). The aim of this study was to examine the performance and the participant trends of Duathlen, which either for short competitions (10 km walk, 50 km bike and 5 km walk) or too long-distance (10 km walk, 150 km bike and 30 km walk) In the PowerMan World Championship “Powerman Zofingen”. We analyzed 7'951 finishers (women, n = 1.236, age 36.7 ± 9.1 years; men, n = 6.715, 40.1 ± 10.1 years), which participated from 2003 to 2017 at the “Powerman Zofingen”.Men were 8.2% faster than women in the short and 7.5% in the long distance. Women were at 4.6 years (35.0 ± 9.0 years. 39.6 ± 10.5 years) and 1.8 years (38.8 ± 8.7 years vs. 40.6 ± 9.5 years) younger in the short resp.Long race. Over the years, an increase in women was observed (eg N = 19 in 2003 and N = 58 in 2017), whereas no change was recognized in the short routes and male finishers. The relationship between men and women (MWR) sank over the years in the long, but not in the short distance. No change of competition time has been observed over the years. The gender difference in the competition time took on the long-way route to which he did not change on the short distance.The age took over the years for both sexes and distances. The gender difference regarding age decreased on the long distance, but not on the short distance.

Jumps and litters at Master Athletes

Jumping and throwing performance in the World Masters’ Athletic Championships 1975-2016. Participation and performance of age class athletes aged 35-39 to 95-99 years participating in the World Championships of Athletics (WMA) 1975-2016 were on throwing disciplines (discus, hammer, spear and spheres of spheres) and jump disciplines (high jump, long jump, Staffrung and Triumphen). A total of 21,723 observations were analyzed by 8,974 Master athletes.A mixed regression model with gender, age group, calendar year and interaction conditions (gender age group, sex year) was performed separately for each event. The services increased over time with each event with a cubic trend. Compared with women, men had better achievements (eg, the estimated difference in the trunk 3,378 meters, p <0.001). However, women improved their performance more than men over the calendar years. The benefits decreased with age for each event (eg in the tri-jump, compared to the age group 45-49 years, was the Performance in the age group 35-39 years by 1,041 meters better and in the age group 85-89 years at 5.32 meters worse).

Pacing in the classic marathon of Athens

Pacing strategies in the ‘Athens Classic Marathon’: Physiological and psychological aspects Despite the increasing scientific interest in the relationship between motivation and the performance of the marathon, there are a few information about the combination of motivation with physiological and psychological parameters. The aim of the present study was therefore to investigate the role of physical fitness and training properties at the pacing in the ‘Athens Classic Marathon’, the marathon that is held on the original line of the marathon. The study participants of this race in 2017 (women, n = 26, age 40.8 ± 9.4 years; Men, N = 130, Age 44.1 ± 8.6 years) were analyzed at their pace during the race, asking questions based on the motivation of Marathon Scale’(MOMS) answered and conducted a number of physiological tests. Women and faster runners ran balanced. The motivation was associated with a higher aerobic capacity and less muscle strength in men, but not in women. Men having a more uniform pace achieved higher values for psychological tackling, self-esteem, life consent, recognition and competition as their colleagues with less uniform pace.

Performance of men in the Boston Marathon from 1897 to 2017

Men’s Participation and Performance in the Boston Marathon from 1897 to 2017 This study examined the participation and performance of men in the ‘Boston Marathon’. The data of all 368'940 official male finishers of the ‘Boston Marathon’ from 1897 to 2017 were determined on the basis of various analyzes and regression models for all runners, top 100 runners, top 10 runners and annual winners. The impact of the calendar year on the race time was investigated alone, in an unvariable model and together with country of origin and weather conditions (average air temperature and precipitation) in a multi-variable model. The average race time of all finalists rose by participating over the calendar years, but decreased when we looked at the annual winner of them the top 10 and top 100 runners. Runners from Kenya and Ethiopia were the fastest runners for nationalities, as we considered all runners and the annual top 100, but not top 10. Air temperature ≤8 ° C improved the maturities compared to an air temperature of> 8 ° C. The precipitate (> 0 mm) improved the performance for the annual 100 fastest and the annual 10 fastest, but not for all finishers.

Who are marathon runners?

A Brief Review of Personality in Marathon Runners: The Role of Sex, Age and Performance Level The participation of recreational athletes to sporting events from 5 km to longer running tracks has increased dramatically in recent decades, and this phenomenon has found scientific interest. Most research focused on the physiological characteristics of these runners and less on their psychological characteristics. The aim of the present investigation was therefore to check the existing knowledge regarding the personality of endurance athletes and the role of sex, age and performance.It was concluded that limited information about the personality of leisure marathon runners are available.

Liquid supply in extreme duration

Considerations for ultra-endurance activities: Part 2 - hydration It is not unusual that those participating in extreme duration events develop a different degree of hypohydration or hyperhydration. For extreme athletes, however, it is important to avoid the performance limiting and potentially fatal consequences of these conditions. During short load times, low impact on the relationship between body mass change and hydration status resulted from the body mass loss due to the oxidation of endogenous fuel storage and water, which supports the intravascular volume generated and released by endogenous fuel oxidation in the oxidation of glycogen. However, these effects have significant impact on longer stresses. In fact, the body mass loses significantly more than 2% in some endurance activities in order to avoid hyperhydration.Therefore, the typical hydration guidelines for avoiding more than 2% body mass loss do not apply to extreme duration activities and may possibly lead to hyperhydration.

Nutrition in extreme duration

Considerations for ultra-endurance activities: part 1- nutrition Extreme endurance loads are unique challenges that can be enhanced beyond the fatigue through sub-optimal diet during elevated requirements and impaired gastrointestinal function. The fatigue causes of extreme expenses are multifactorially conditioned. However, mechanisms may include central or peripheral fatigue, thermal stress, dehydration and / or exhaustion of the endogenous glycogen storage. If the extreme duration load is long enough (eg ≥ 10 hours) and the intensity is low enough (eg 45-60% of maximum oxygen uptake), it is bioenergetically plausible that the ketogenic adjustment of the extreme duration load to improve. Conversely, scientific literature has repeatedly shown that daily reception of carbohydrates (3-12 g / kg / day) and carbohydrate absorption under load (30-110 g / h) can improve performance with extreme expenses loads. In view of the gastrointestinal symptoms that are common in extreme expenses, effective prevention and treatment strategies for diet can provide functional, histological, systemic and symptomatic advantages.
