Who runs when how fast?

One hundred and fifty years of sprint and distance running - Past trends and future prospects. Proof, the mileage has been significantly improved for sprint and longer running routes in recent decades. An Italian group has been examined by various running competitions as the performance in 2100 will have developed. It is expected that women will be 10-20% slower than the men, the border of 9.50 sec. Over 100 m will be underbuilt only at the end of this century and several records of medium and long distances are broken within the next two to three decades.

Experience in the ultratriathlon

The aspect of experience in ultra-triathlon races Many work suggest that the aspect of experience is very crucial at long to very long endurance charges. We asked ourselves the question of successful finishers of very long triathlon races such as fivefachers or tenfold Ironman have previously made many shorter races or whether their competition times is more important. All women and men between 1985 and 2014 had at least double, tripled, five times and tenfolds Ironman have been considered.It came out that the number of hitherto fantasy shorter races did not correlate with the number of longer races.On the other hand, a clear relationship between the section and conclusion times of the shorter distances was shown with the section and final times of the longer routes.

The age of the best women in sports

A rise in peak performance age in female athletes. Previous studies were of the opinion that the age of the best sporting performance remains stable although the performance of the athletes was getting better and better. In this study, it was examined as the age of the best performance in individual disciplines in the Olympics developed from 1898 to 2014.The men showed that the age of the best performance remained unchanged for most disciplines.

The age of the best competition performance

Age of Peak Competitive Performance of Elite Athletes: A Systematic Review. In a current review, studies on different sports were compiled with the goal of determining the age of the best sporting performance.In sports where fast power is needed, the age of the best performance increases with increasing competition duration.

For endurance charges, however, the age of the best performance increases with increasing competition duration. You can find the very interesting work under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26088954/

Gender and age in the marathon

Aging Effects on Marathon Performance Insights from the New York City Race. In a recent study, the relationship between age and performance was examined at 370,741 runners at the New York City Marathon between 1999 and 2011. It turned out that the influence of age on the performance in men and women was about the same, but the age had a different impact on the fastest and slowest runners and the gender difference was greater than slower runners. The study can be found under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25671466/

Competition nutrition at ultra skills

Competition Nutrition Practices of Elite Ultra-Marathon Runners. Due to anecdotes, the Ultralauer has been suspected of increasing carbohydrates with increasing number of runs in training as in the competition with the intention of increasing fat burning and thus improving performance. In order to investigate this, the nutritional behavior of 3 world-class ultra skiers was examined before and during ultra-curls.These 3 runners punished in 2014 totally 16 competitions, gained 8 runs, including the ‘Western States Endurance Run’. Before a run, in average, they took 70 ± 16 g of carbohydrates, 29 ± 20 g protein and 21 ± 8 g of fat.During a 100-mile run, they entered 1162 ± 250 g of carbohydrates, corresponding to 71 ± 20 g / h.This corresponded to a total supply of 5530 ± 1673 calories (333 ± 105 calories / h). In addition, they accepted 912 ± 322mg caffeine and 6.9 ± 2.4G sodium.

Liver and muscle damage at 100 km running

Damage to Liver and Skeletal Muscles in Marathon Runners During a 100 km Run With Regard to Age and Running Speed. A Polish group examined at a 100 km pathway whether there is a damage to liver and muscle, whether any damage depends on age or running speed and whether it would be possible in this case to determine the optimal running speed to have no damage. It showed that it came to an increase in liver values, with this increase in the recreational phase still went on.There was also an increase in LDH, CK and CRP.The biggest difference in the rise of these parameters was after 75 km and after 24 hours a recreational phase.

From the Ironman to the Ultra Triathlet

What predicts performance in ultra-triathlon races? – a comparison between Ironman distance triathlon and ultra-triathlon In an overview, we have relevant to the variables that are important for an Ironman triathletes as well as for an ultra-triathletes. As a rule, a triathlete will start over the short distances to the Ironman before changing to the ultra-triathlon.It clearly showed that Ironman triathlets and ultra-triathlets differ. Although both benefit from a deep body fat for a quick competition time, the Ironman Triathlen is the speed in training in the foreground during the ultra-triathlet the high volume dominates.

Temperature of the liquid in the heat

The role of fluid temperature and form on endurance performance in the heat If athletes burden in the heat, there is an increase in body core temperature. This can affect unhealthy and restrict performance.The supply of cool drinks can reduce the body core temperature before loading, but not during the load.

The temperature of a drink does not seem to have an influence on the stomach emptying and absorption in the intestine. The supply of a mixture of water and ice (ICE Slurry) seems to be very efficient to avoid an excessive increase in body core temperature and improve endurance performance in the heat. The work can be found under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25943655/
