Where do the fastest cross-country skiers in the Engadine come from?

Russians are the fastest in marathon cross-country skiing – The ‘Engadin Ski Marathon’ For different sports such as running (marathon) or triathlon (Ironman) is known from which countries or areas of the world are the best athletes.We have now asked us where the best ski runners on the ‘Engadiner’ come from. If we assume that the ‘Engadiner’ takes place in Graubünden and Switzerland with Dario Cologna a world-class ranker should come from the best cross-country skiers from the Engadin. Although most of the finishers come from Switzerland, more of Zurich as a Bündner come to the finish.

20 years ultra

Compilation of the results of the last 20 years Since 1997 I deny long triathlons.On the website I have listed the races with ranking so far.Now I have now all competitions after the length of route and conclusion at the triathlons as well as kilometers reached at the hourly runs. For the next 20 years, the tables are further filled down. This new table can be found under https://www.beatknecht.com/athleten/statistics/

Age-related restriction of the service

Age-Related Changes in Endurance Performance Vary Between Modes of Locomotion in Men: An Analysis of Master World Records. It is known that in the sprint as in endurance charges, the performance with increasing age decreases. However, it is not known to what extent the type of stress has an influence on this process.A French group has examined for swimming, cycling and running for sprint and endurance charges the age clords in 5-year intervals.In swimming 50m and 1500m, when cycling 200m and 1 hour and in running 100m and 10km were investigated. It was reflected in cycling over 1 hour on the web of age-related waste after 60 less pronounced than over 1500m swimming and 10km run.

Masterschwimmer in Delphin

Performance Trends in Master Butterfly Swimmers Competing in the FINA World Championships In swimming, the performance development over the years is usually examined for the top swimmers and most likely for freestile.Rarely, other disciplines such as dolphin are also analyzed. So far, the performance development for age-class athletes in dolphin swimming has never been studied.How have all the dolphin swimmers who swim between 1986 and 2014 at the World Cup of the Masters analyzed.It showed that the men in the age groups were 25-29 to 85-89 years faster than the women, but not in the category 90-94 years. More than 50m, women in the categories were able to reduce the distance to men over the years 30-34 to 60-64 years.Over 100m, this succeeded in the categories 35-39 to 55-59 years.And over 200m, this only succeeded in the categories 30-34 to 40-44 years.

Age class triathlets over the Olympic distance

Performance Trends in Age Group Triathletes in the Olympic Distance Triathlon at the World Championships 2009-2014. The performance development in the triathlon has been studied especially for the top triathlets on the ‘Ironman Hawaii’ as well as for age class triathlets.So far we do not know anything about the trend for age class triathlets over the Olympic distance on world class level.We have now analyzed the results of the World Cup race from 2009 to 2014. It showed that the performance in swimming in the age groups improved 25-29 to 55-59 years over time.In cycling, the times in age groups were 18-14 to 70-74 years faster.In running, the athletes were in the age groups 18-24, 30-34, 35-39 and 65-69 years faster. The final times have been improved in ages 18-24 to 65-69 years.The change times were better in all ages.Women were slower than men in all three disciplines and in the total time, except in the category 75-79 years.

Sex differences on world record level

Sex Differences in World Record Performance: The Influence of Sport Discipline and Competition Duration A Scandinavian group has analyzed the results of the literature regarding the influence of sports discipline and competition duration for the difference between man and woman. As a rule, the difference between the sexes is 8-12% for most analyzed disciplines and routes.Differences show itself when the upper body is required, the difference is often over 12%. In long-distance swimming, women approached around 5% to men.

Macro and microminerals at ultra skills

Level of minerals and trace elements in the urine of the participants of mountain ultra-marathon race For 21 runners a 53-km long mountaineering tramarathons, the urine was investigated on minerals such as CA, P, K and Na as well as trace elements SE, Zn, Mn, Cu, Fe and Co before and after the race.

Due to the excretion of certain fabrics, these macro and microminerals were important for the recreational phase. The whole evaluation can be found under https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/s0946672x16303960

T cells at Masterathlen

Lifelong training improves anti-inflammatory environment and maintains the number of regulatory T cells in masters athletes A Portuguese group has studied the T cells as well as interleukin-10 at rest and after loading of Masterathlen and compared to the values of inactive. It showed that the masterathlets had higher values for interleukin-10 after load and the number of T cells remained constant.

The authors assume that the many years of training of the athlete leads to these favorable changes. The whole work can be found under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28391394/

The best age for a ski marathon

The age-related performance decline in marathon cross-country skiing - the Engadin Ski Marathon The age of the best marathon performance has been well examined for the marathon. In addition to the marathon, there are also cross-country skiing over the marathon track.We examined the numbers of almost 200,000 finishers at the Engadin Ski Marathon from 1998 to 2016.If you compare all men with all women, there is no difference in the final time.On the other hand, the top ten men are faster for every age group than the top ten women. If you look for every age year, the best time is reached for 40 years in men like women.AS does not change if you only take the top ten for every age year.
