Pacing in the classic marathon of Athens

Pacing strategies in the ‘Athens Classic Marathon’: Physiological and psychological aspects Despite the increasing scientific interest in the relationship between motivation and the performance of the marathon, there are a few information about the combination of motivation with physiological and psychological parameters. The aim of the present study was therefore to investigate the role of physical fitness and training properties at the pacing in the ‘Athens Classic Marathon’, the marathon that is held on the original line of the marathon. The study participants of this race in 2017 (women, n = 26, age 40.8 ± 9.4 years; Men, N = 130, Age 44.1 ± 8.6 years) were analyzed at their pace during the race, asking questions based on the motivation of Marathon Scale’(MOMS) answered and conducted a number of physiological tests. Women and faster runners ran balanced. The motivation was associated with a higher aerobic capacity and less muscle strength in men, but not in women. Men having a more uniform pace achieved higher values for psychological tackling, self-esteem, life consent, recognition and competition as their colleagues with less uniform pace.

Performance of men in the Boston Marathon from 1897 to 2017

Men’s Participation and Performance in the Boston Marathon from 1897 to 2017 This study examined the participation and performance of men in the ‘Boston Marathon’. The data of all 368'940 official male finishers of the ‘Boston Marathon’ from 1897 to 2017 were determined on the basis of various analyzes and regression models for all runners, top 100 runners, top 10 runners and annual winners. The impact of the calendar year on the race time was investigated alone, in an unvariable model and together with country of origin and weather conditions (average air temperature and precipitation) in a multi-variable model. The average race time of all finalists rose by participating over the calendar years, but decreased when we looked at the annual winner of them the top 10 and top 100 runners. Runners from Kenya and Ethiopia were the fastest runners for nationalities, as we considered all runners and the annual top 100, but not top 10. Air temperature ≤8 ° C improved the maturities compared to an air temperature of> 8 ° C. The precipitate (> 0 mm) improved the performance for the annual 100 fastest and the annual 10 fastest, but not for all finishers.

Who are marathon runners?

A Brief Review of Personality in Marathon Runners: The Role of Sex, Age and Performance Level The participation of recreational athletes to sporting events from 5 km to longer running tracks has increased dramatically in recent decades, and this phenomenon has found scientific interest. Most research focused on the physiological characteristics of these runners and less on their psychological characteristics. The aim of the present investigation was therefore to check the existing knowledge regarding the personality of endurance athletes and the role of sex, age and performance.It was concluded that limited information about the personality of leisure marathon runners are available.

Intermediate balance

All my podium sites in the ultratriathlon After the third place on the ‘Swissultra’ https://www.swissultra.ch/en/. About the tenfold distance I have put together my results in detail after the age of 22 years.

This results in 12 podiums for Double Iron, 16 for Triple Iron, 3 for Quintuple Iron and 5 for Deca Iron. At the victories there are 3 first seats via Double Iron, 9 via Triple Iron, 2 via Quintuple Iron and 2 via Deca Iron.

Liquid supply in extreme duration

Considerations for ultra-endurance activities: Part 2 - hydration It is not unusual that those participating in extreme duration events develop a different degree of hypohydration or hyperhydration. For extreme athletes, however, it is important to avoid the performance limiting and potentially fatal consequences of these conditions. During short load times, low impact on the relationship between body mass change and hydration status resulted from the body mass loss due to the oxidation of endogenous fuel storage and water, which supports the intravascular volume generated and released by endogenous fuel oxidation in the oxidation of glycogen. However, these effects have significant impact on longer stresses. In fact, the body mass loses significantly more than 2% in some endurance activities in order to avoid hyperhydration.Therefore, the typical hydration guidelines for avoiding more than 2% body mass loss do not apply to extreme duration activities and may possibly lead to hyperhydration.

Nutrition in extreme duration

Considerations for ultra-endurance activities: part 1- nutrition Extreme endurance loads are unique challenges that can be enhanced beyond the fatigue through sub-optimal diet during elevated requirements and impaired gastrointestinal function. The fatigue causes of extreme expenses are multifactorially conditioned. However, mechanisms may include central or peripheral fatigue, thermal stress, dehydration and / or exhaustion of the endogenous glycogen storage. If the extreme duration load is long enough (eg ≥ 10 hours) and the intensity is low enough (eg 45-60% of maximum oxygen uptake), it is bioenergetically plausible that the ketogenic adjustment of the extreme duration load to improve. Conversely, scientific literature has repeatedly shown that daily reception of carbohydrates (3-12 g / kg / day) and carbohydrate absorption under load (30-110 g / h) can improve performance with extreme expenses loads. In view of the gastrointestinal symptoms that are common in extreme expenses, effective prevention and treatment strategies for diet can provide functional, histological, systemic and symptomatic advantages.

The triple crown in swimming

Sex difference in open-water swimming-The Triple Crown of Open Water Swimming 1875-2017 The aim of the study was to compare the swimming services of successful finishers of the ‘Triple Crown of Open Water Swimming’ from 1875 to 2017 and to evaluate the effects of sex, the venue and nationality of swimmers. Data from 535 Finisher in ‘Catalina Channel Swim’, 1'606 Finisher in ‘English Channel Swim’ and 774 finishers in ‘Manhattan Island Marathon Swim’ were analyzed. We have performed various analyzes and adjustments for regression models for all swimmers and the annual top 5 finishers. The effects (gender, event, time, nationality) and interactions (event time) were examined by a multi-variable spline regression model. For all the swimmers we found that women found about 0.06 km / h faster than men and the Australians were 0.13 km / h faster than Americans where the Americans were 0.19 km / h faster than the British and 0.21 km / h faster than the Canadians. When looking at the annual top 5 swimmer we realized that women were 0.07 km / h slower than men and the Australians were not faster than the Americans, but Americans were 0.21 km / h faster than the British.
