Comparison marathon runners and 24-hour runners

Comparison of anthropometric and training characteristics between recreational male marathoners and 24-hour ultramarathoners For 24-hour runners, the personal marathon best time is an important variable to estimate the mileage on the competition. The probability that between marathon runners and 24-hour runners similarities between physique and training should be high.We have therefore compared marathon runners and 24-hour runners regarding training and physique. The 24-hour runners were older than the marathon runners, had thinner sizes and thinner skin folds at several points of the body.Regarding training, the Ultralaufen completed more kilometers but at lower speed.

Old and performance with ultra-triathlets

Age-related changes in ultra-triathlon performances We have examined the relationship between age and performance of 423 male triple Iron ultra-triathlets and 119 male Deca Iron Ultra Triathlen over the period from 1992 to 2010. The age of the finisher in the Deca Iron was higher with 41.3 ± 3.1 years than the age of the finisher in Triple Iron with 38.5 ± 3.3 years. On the other hand, the fastest times between the ages of 25 and 44 were achieved on both routes.

Comparison Ironman triathlets and marathon runners

Comparison between recreational male ironman triathletes and marathon runners The marathon best time is a significant variable for male Ironman triathlets.We now have Ironman triathlets and marathon runners compared to whether Ironman Triathlen are similar to marathon runners.

The triathlets were greater and heavier than the marathon runners and had a thicker skin fold on the calf. In addition, triathlets completed a significantly higher training volume than the runners.The percentage of body fat was correlated with the triathlets with the total time and the section times for cycling and running.The weekly swimming kilometers correlated with the floating time and the speed in cycling correlated with the bike time in the race. At the marathon runners, the thickness of the skin folds were associated at the calf as well as the running speed in training with the marathon period.Although the marathon best time is a significant variable for male Ironman triathlets, there are significant differences between triathlets and marathon runners.

Participation and performance at Triple Iron Ultratriathlon

Participation and Performance Trends in Triple Iron Ultra-triathlon - a Cross-sectional and Longitudinal Data Analysis We have studied the development of participation and performance as well as the gender differences of all Triple Iron Ultratriardlons (11.4 km Swimming, 540 km cycling and 126.6 km) from the first race in 1988 to 2011. During this period, 824 men and 80 women have seen such a competition.Over the years, men became faster, the women, however, slower. The percentage difference in the performance of the sexes for the fastest athletes increased significantly from 10% in 1992 to 42% in 2011. The summary can be found under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23012633/

Muscle damage and renal function at ultra skids

In ultra-curva, damage to the muscles to the resulting kidney damage is known. We examined whether the supply of amino acids before and during a 100 km run has an influence on parameters of muscle damage and renal function.Runner with intake of amino acids did not differ in the competition performance as well as the parameters of muscle damage and renal function. The summary can be found under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23007065/

Liquid supply and swelling of the feet

Ad libitum fluid intake leads to no leg swelling in male Ironman triathletes an observational field study In 100 km runners, a connection between the swelling of the feet and the fluid supply during the course could be detected. We have now examined whether this is also an Ironman triathlet.Unlike 100 km runners, Ironman triathlets did not swell in the lower extremities but the volume of the lower leg even took off. The decrease in the volume of the lower leg showed no connection with the fluid supply.

What influences the marathon time in women?

Predictor variables for marathon race time in recreational female runners We studied at 29 marathon runners, whether characteristics of body construction or rather the training has an influence on the marathon time. The evaluation revealed that the scope of the calf and the running speed correlated during training with the marathon time.Based on equation 184.4 + 5.0 x (scope of the calf in cm) -11.9 x (running speed in training in km / h), the marathon time can be estimated for women. The study can be found under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22942994/

Comparison men and women in the English Channel

Best performances by men and women open-water swimmers during the ‘English Channel Swim’ from 1900 to 2010. The crossing of the English Channel is for extreme swimmers of Mount Everest the mountaineer. Between 1900 and 2010, Totally 1,533 swimmers have passed through the canal.The biggest part of the swimmers came from England.The swimmers were over the years in faster, the men were faster than the women.

However, if you look at the fastest times each year, there was no difference between the sexes. All results can be found under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22830602/
