During this period, 932 men and 157 women were investigating what the largest world’s largest group was investigated to Ironman Triathlen.Throughout the collective of 1089 finishers, 115 athletes (10.6%) developed a hyponatremia, including 3 athletes (0.3%) a critical hyponatremia.

In swimming is known as top freestyle swimmers behave on the different route lengths.On the other hand, we do not know if the swimmers are different with increasing age.That’s why we have analyzed results of nearly 4500 floats over 100m, 200m, 400m and 800m freestyle in the age groups 25-29 to 90-94 years at the Swimming World Cup 2014.

Read moreDo women reduce the gap to men in ultra-marathon running? So far, a lot has already been reported that women in individual cases can beat all men in very long runs.Whether this is really possible in a larger style you can only check different routes and a long period of time on the basis of a large-scale study. We therefore have analyzed all runners who have completed one or more competitions between 1975 and 2013 in runs over 6 hours, 12 hours, 24-hour, 48 hours, 72 hours, 6 days and 10 days. The most important findings are that the difference between the sexes with increasing age increased.Over the years, women were able to move up to men over 6 hours, 72 hours and 6 days to men, but not over 24 hours and 48 hours.

Read morePre- and Post-Race Hydration Status in Hyponatremic and Non-Hyponatremic Ultra-Endurance Athletes We have studied the hydration state of 113 extreme duty athletes before and after a competition. If one compares people with and people without hyponatemia after the competition, there was no difference in the blood in the blood before the competition and the specific gravity in the urine and the body weight before and after load.
