Pacing Strategies of Ultra-Cyclists at the ‘Race Across America’. So far, there are few investigations like the speed resp.Performance for very long endurance charges. We have examined the change in the speed of the ‘Race Across America’ from 2010 to 2014, taking into account the influences of height differences as well as temperature and wind. On the basis of a formula we have also tried to estimate the watt performance.It turned out that the speed decreased continuously during the race with the men faster than the women. The calculated watts also decreased in the course of the race and was also deeper for women compared to men.For women, the watts was lower for all finishers compared to men, the threeast per year and the finishers in the age group 60-69 years, but not for the finishers in the age groups 18-49 and 50-59 years.Temperature and altitude differences had an impact on the decrease in speed and wattage for both sexes who investigated performance and age groups.

Sleeping and performance in the ultramarathon

Sleep Management Strategy and Performance in an Extreme Mountain Ultra-marathon. A French group has investigated whether there is a connection between sleeping breaks and performance at the Ultra-Trail Mont-Blanc. During the run, 28% of the finishers made a sleep break.However, the runners without sleeping were faster than the runners with sleeping break. Runners who have given themselves before the competition more sleep were faster in the finish.

The authors finally came that more sleep before the race is crucial for performance on the race. The very insightful work can be found at www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Pubmed/26020095

Running and the relationship with physique and training

Running and the association with anthropometric and training characteristics Running can be exercised as a sprint discipline on the train over a few meters to 10 km to Marathon and Ultramarathons over hundreds to thousands of running kilometers.The performance is influenced by a variety of factors of body construction as well as training. Morphological features such as skin folding thickness, body fat percentage, sizes and length of limbs, weight, size and body mass index (BMI) seem to have an impact on mileage. The training circumference (in time and returned distance) and the speed that runs in training also correlate with the performance.If all variables were comparatively examined, so were usually body fat and running speed in training the most important influencing sizes. For longer running loads (over 6 hours resp. 100 km), however, showed that the aspects of experience (number of successfully completed races) and personal best time were far more important than the training scope or morphological characteristics such as the body fat content.

Muscle cramps at ultra skills

Muscle Cramping During a 161-km Ultramarathon: Comparison of Characteristics of Those With and Without Cramping For 100 miles runners, runners were examined with and runners without muscle cramps. It showed around 14% of the runners had cramps and got about 53% almost cramps.Most cramps occurred in the calves (54%), quadriceps (44%) and Hamstring (33%).

In runners with cramps earlier convulsions and after the run higher CK values. The whole work can be found under https://www.sportsmedicine-open.com/content/2/1/8

Women swim faster in Catalina Channel

Women cross the ‘Catalina Channel’ faster than men Since 1875 there is a long resp.Extreme swimming events. At that time it began with the English Channel, in the course, the, Manhattan Island Marathon Swim ‘and the Catalina Channel Swim’ added.The Three Events, English Channel Swim ‘,, Manhattan Island Marathon Swim’ and, Catalina Channel Swim ‘are summarized as’ Triple Crown of Open Water Swimming’. Now, when you look at the achievements of these three events, so has been proven so far that in the English Channel Swim ’the best women are about fast as the best men and in the Manhattan Island Marathon Swim’ the best women could even surpass the best men.The question looked like it looks like it in the Catalina Channel Swim ‘.We have now examined the performance of the floats in the Catalina Channel Swim ‘from 1927 to 2014. It showed that the fastest wife has been around 22 minutes faster than the fastest man.If you take the three fastest men and women, the women were around 20 minutes faster than the men.In the 10 fastest women and men, the women were still about 1 minute faster.If you take the fastest men and women per outing year over the period from 1927 to 2014, women were around 53 minutes faster than the men. Over the years, the times for the fastest women and men fell non-linear while the difference between the sexes decreased linearly.

Rhabdomyolysis and hyponatremia

Rhabdomyolysis and exercise-associated hyponatremia in ultra-bikers and ultra-runners. There are information for a connection between load-induced hyponatremia, rhabdomyolysis and renal failure in extreme duration loads. This has been studied and confirmed by the majority of ultra-raptures. We have now examined in 7 different ultra races whether this connection can be confirmed in other disciplines.We found a rhabdomyolysis at 2 hyponatriemic and 4 Normonatriemic runners.

There were no kidney problems for all runners. The whole work can be read below https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26113805/

Hyponatremia despite sodium supply

Symptomatic Exercise-Associated Hyponatremia in an Endurance Runner Despite Sodium Supplementation In general, this is a symptomatic hyponatremia by a fluid overload. In certain circles, it is obvious that a sodium supply should protect against hyponatremia.An American group presents a case report of a runner, which after a load-induced hyponatremia after a nutritional consultation sodium supplied under stress.Despite extensive sodium supply during a 72 km long run, a symptomatic hyponatremia occurred.

Who runs when how fast?

One hundred and fifty years of sprint and distance running - Past trends and future prospects. Proof, the mileage has been significantly improved for sprint and longer running routes in recent decades. An Italian group has been examined by various running competitions as the performance in 2100 will have developed. It is expected that women will be 10-20% slower than the men, the border of 9.50 sec. Over 100 m will be underbuilt only at the end of this century and several records of medium and long distances are broken within the next two to three decades.

Experience in the ultratriathlon

The aspect of experience in ultra-triathlon races Many work suggest that the aspect of experience is very crucial at long to very long endurance charges. We asked ourselves the question of successful finishers of very long triathlon races such as fivefachers or tenfold Ironman have previously made many shorter races or whether their competition times is more important. All women and men between 1985 and 2014 had at least double, tripled, five times and tenfolds Ironman have been considered.It came out that the number of hitherto fantasy shorter races did not correlate with the number of longer races.On the other hand, a clear relationship between the section and conclusion times of the shorter distances was shown with the section and final times of the longer routes.
