Ultrarunners Longitudinal TRAcking (ULTRA) Study For a research project, Prof. Martin Hoffman from the USA is looking for Ultralaufen, which has now completed at least one ultramarathon of more than 50 km. In his project, it’s about the question of whether the training for UltraNauf has a positive or negative impact on health.After completing the online questionnaire, the subjects will be questioned in periodic intervals for their health. The study can be found under https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/nct02014038

Study “Motivational aspects of extreme endurance sports” For a research project of the Department of Motivational Psychology of the University of Zurich, we are looking for endurance athletes who specialize in extreme long distances.Here we understand competitions that last longer than 6 hours.We want to find out more about what it needs to provide such a willpass and what the motivational aspects that lead to the exercise of these sports.For example, research knows, for example, hardly answers to the following questions: What drives people to such extraordinary high performance?What distinguishes extreme endurance athletes from other athletes?Do you have special motivational and willing competencies?Are you resembling yourself in your personality and differing from non-athletes here? With the participation in the study, the athletes make an important contribution to finding out more about this topics that have not yet been not yet explored.As a thank you, the participants receive a detailed feedback on the results of the study. The questionnaire is now available for online editing.The link to the German version of the online questionnaire is: https://psychmserver.uzh.ch/limesurvey/index.php?sid=43859&lang=en

What happens during a tenfold Ironman

Pacing Strategy and Change in Body Composition During a Deca Iron Triathlon We examined the finishers at the ‘World Challenge Deca Iron Triathlon’ of 2006, 2007 and 2009 with regard to the change in body masses as well as the factors that correlate with the conclusion. It seems that the athletes are behaved with respect to the calling temple so that they can keep the continuous removal of body mass under control.This seems necessary to be necessary. The study can be found under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22129824/

Hyponatremia in ultra swimming

Higher prevalence of exercise-associated hyponatremia in female than in male open-water ultra-endurance swimmers: the ‘Marathon-Swim’ in Lake Zurich The stress-associated hyponatremia has been studied for runners, triathlets and cyclists, but not in floats.$ We studied the prevalence of stress-associated hyponatemia at the marathon swimming in Zurich Lake and found amazing results.

Liquid overload at ultra skills?

Do male 100-km ultra-marathoners overdrink?

It is believed that the load associates associated hyponatremia increasingly occurs at high fluid intake. This should be the case especially for slower runners.We now found that the faster runners feed more fluid at a 100 km run than the slower runners, and yet that did not lead to accumulation of cases of stress-associated hyponatremia. The study can be found under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21725105/

Hyponatremia in ultra-cyclists

No case of exercise-associated hyponatraemia in top male ultra-endurance cyclists: the ‘Swiss Cycling Marathon’ The stress-associated hyponatremia has been studied for triathlets, runners and mountain bikers, but not for long-distance wheels. We found a surprisingly any case of stress-associated hyponatremia, under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21656229/

Calculation performance on a 24-hour run

Personal best marathon time and longest training run, not anthropometry, predict performance in recreational 24-hour ultrarunners We examined at the ‘24-hour-run basel ‘, which variables correlate with the mileage. With the significant variables we have created a formula, with the future 24-hour runners can estimate their potential final performance. The formula can be found under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21642857/
