Swelling of the feet at a multipart triathlon

Feet swelling in a multistage ultraendurance triathlete: a case study Previous studies showed a connection between fluid supply and swelling of the feet in a longer endurance burden.So far, however, it has not yet been investigated as this relationship behaves at a multi-dedite burden of breaks. In a 10-fold Ironman triathlon we examined whether there is a connection between fluid supply and swelling of the feet.This was the volume of feet during a 10-day load increases and there is a context of this increase in fluid supply, total body water and kidney retention parameters.

How to feed runners

The Interconnectedness of Diet Choice and Distance Running: Results of the Research Understanding the NutritioN of Endurance Runners (RUNNER) Study. A recent study examined 422 runners about half marathon, marathon and ultramarathone with respect to their diet in the 12 months before a competition.Ultralaufen preferred a vegan / vegetarian diet as a half marathon or marathon runner.

The Ultralaufen mentioned that primarily the external circumstances resulted in this diet, while the half marathon and marathon runners rather performed body weight as a reason. The interesting work can be found under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26480477/

What happens during a channel swimming

Cardiovascular and Perceptual Responses to an Ultraendurance Channel Swim: A Case Study.$ An American group has accompanied a swimmer at the Catalin Channel Swim ‘over 32.2 km.The swimmer reached the target after 9 h 2 min at a water temperature of around 19 degrees and an air temperature of almost 19 degrees.

It was a connection between thirst feeling and the remaining floating distance, the perceived effort and heart rate, the perceived effort with the remaining distance as well as the pain sensation and the remaining distance. The very interesting case report can be found under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25819111/

Age groups in a mountain marathon

Increase in participation but decrease in performance in age group mountain marathoners in the ‘Jungfrau Marathon’: a Swiss phenomenon? Participation and change of performance over the years has already been explored in detail with large city marathons such as the ‘New York City Marathon’. On the other hand, we do not know how it is a mountain marathon.We have therefore examined the participation and performance of age-class runners on the ‘Virgin Marathon’ from 2000 to 2014.We compared the numbers with a city marathon, the ‘Lausanne Marathon’.

Marathon in a high age

Aging, Fitness, and Marathon Times in a 91 Year-old Man Who Competed in 627 Marathons Generally, it is known that the maximum oxygen uptake decreases with increasing age.However, this acceptance with endurance training can be kept a bit. An American group has studied a 91-year-old man who has went a total of 627 marathons and 117 ultramarathons for 42 years.At the age of 48 he started with the marathon, his best times remained constant about 240 minutes between 50 and 64 years.Then the times rose to about 260 minutes to about 70, then it came to a progressive increase up to 90. Between 80 and 90 his marathon times were 600 minutes.The maximum oxygen uptake fell between 68 and 89 years from 43 ml / kg / min to 20 ml / kg / min.

Ice swimming over 1 mile and 1 kilometer

Ice swimming – ‘Ice Mile’ and ‘1 km Ice event’ Since 2009, there has been the official discipline of ice swimming that can be done over 1 mile and 1 kilometer. We have now analyzed the first results between 2009 and 2015.During this period, 113 men and 38 women have completed 1 mile and 26 men and 13 women 1 kilometers in water from a maximum of 5 ° C.Both routes were men faster than the women.

The best finishers on the Norseman

Nation related participation and performance trends in ‘Norseman Xtreme Triathlon’ from 2006 to 2014 If you speak of Ironman Triathlon, all appeal to the Ironman Hawaii.In the meantime, however, there are also the Norseman in Norway, the spot hardness with the Ironman Hawaii can compete very well.While we know that on Ironman Hawaii the Americans dominate because of home advantage we do not know which nations are in front of the Norseman. We now have analyzed the numbers from 2006 to 2014 to see which country the best finishers come.Most finishers come from Norway, Germany, England, Sweden, USA and France. Norwegians and Germans were the fastest.Most podium places were achieved in men as in women by Norwegians.

Participation and performance of older marathon runners

Participation and performance trends in elderly marathoners in four of the world’s largest marathons during 2004–2011 The performance development of elite runners on the marathon line is well examined.On the other hand, numbers are lacking and performance with rather older runners of 75 years and older. Now we have analyzed the numbers of marathon runners 4 of the runs of the, World Marathon Majors’ in Berlin, New York, Chicago and Boston from 2004-2011.This period was chosen because during these years could be found on all competitions usable numbers. The bottom line was that participation in the 5-year old age groups of the runners remained constant over 75 years, whose times were slower and the women could not approach men.
