Improvement of the performance of older marathon runners

Do older athletes reach limits in their performance during marathon running? A French research group has studied the performance of the marathon runners at the New York City Marathon ‘from 1980 to 2009. The proportion of older runners increased significantly.Male runners over 64 years old as well as female runners over 44 years could improve their marathon time significantly. It looks so that the older runners can run even faster marathon times over the next few years, see https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21617894/

Skin cold thickness and performance at 24-hour runners

Leg skinfold thicknesses and race performance in male 24-hour ultra-marathoners. For elitic runners from 100 m to the marathon, there is an association between skin fold thickness and competition time depending on the distance and gender. We have examined for 24-hour runners whether we can also find a correlation. Although correlations could also be found in the bivariate analysis, the skin fold thicknesses in the multivariance analysis showed no connection with the went kilometers, read below https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21566757/

What influences the competition time in ultratriathlets?

Personal best time, not anthropometry or training volume, is associated with total race time in a triple iron triathlon In certain sports resp.Disciplines seem to benefit the athletes of certain characteristics of the body building. Also, training should be important in the area of extreme duration. To successfully finish a triple Ironman, but the experience seems to be of the utmost importance, read below https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20651605/

Age of the best marathon performance

Is there a sex difference in the age of elite marathon runners? An American group went the question of whether there is a difference in the age of the best marathon time between men and women. The five fastest marathon times of the largest marathons in the world were examined over time. It came out that men like women in the same age ran the best marathon time, read below https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20881885/

What influences the performance at Ironman triathlets?

Is Body Fat a Predictor Variable for Race Performance in Recreational Female Ironman Triathletes? We have studied for Ironman triathlets whether physical construction, training or competition experience with the Ironman final time correlate. Neither variables of the body building nor the training correlated with the conclusion time, but the personal best times over marathon, short distance triathlon and Ironman, can be found under https://www.researchgate.net/publication/46271164_is_body_fat_a_predictor_of_race_time_in_female_long-distance_inline_skaters
