A 90 marathon

Physiological alterations after a marathon in the first 90-year-old male finisher: case study In October 2013, the then 90-year-old Albert Stricker found the Lucerne Marathon.Since he has a valid birth certificate and has understood an official marathon, he may call himself the oldest finisher on a marathon. We have examined the physiological aspects of this exceptional performance as well as the action of a marathon on a 90-year-old person.

The age of the best ultramarathon performance

What is the age for the fastest ultra-marathon performance in time-limited races from 6 h to 10 days? If you look at the results of individual analyzes of running events of different lengths, it looks like when the top racers are getting older with increasing length of the run. We have analyzed the results of runs between 6 hours and 10 days from the period from 1975-2013.Over the years, the number of successful finishers increased steadily, with about half of the runners have completed an ultramarathon and the other half already two and more runs.Most finishers were in the fourth lifestyle. If all the runners were taken into account for all tracks at the start, the age of the best performance with increasing route length increased, even if only a successful finish or at least five successful finishes per athlete were taken into account.

Jogging improves life expectancy

Leisure-time running reduces all-cause and cardiovascular mortality risk. In an American study, 55,137 people were examined at the age of 18 to 100 years on the relationship between jogging and life expectancy.During the 15 years of observation, 3,413 people died, including 1,217 deaths due to cardiovascular diseases.

The risk was 29% to 50% compared to the unsportsman. Surprisingly, even small training sessions of 5-10 minutes per day rich at low speed in order to reduce the risk for an early death at a cardiovascular disease. The work can be read under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25082581/

Nurmi-Studie

The NURMI-Study (NURMI – Nutrition and Running high Mileage) The Nurmi-Study (Nurmi - Nutrition and Running High Mileage) is an international and interdisciplinary comparative course study that aims to create a broad foundation for scientific statements on the sporting performance of mixed spills compared to vegetarian and vegan runners.

To be able to make sound statements, a large number of subjects is needed. Therefore, we cordially invite all runners (every distance and every level of performance) to participate in the most important study for the running movement to perform something big together.

Is the top really older with very long ultra skills?

Will the age of peak ultra-marathon performance increase with increasing race duration? When you go through previous analysis, it seems that with increasing route length the peak runners are always older.If one compares the age of the fastest marathon runners with the age of the fastest 100 km runners, the Ultralaufen are significantly older than the marathon runners. To find out if it is effective a trend that the best runners are really older on the very long ultrasides, it is best to analyze a series of runs with increasing route length resp.Duration of the competition. Timely aligned runs of 6 hours to 10 days are best suited.We have now examined the development from 1975 to 2012 regarding the age of the top runners.

H-index and number of citations

H-index and number of citations The H-index is a measure based on the number of citations of the publications of an author at a specific time.A high H-index speaks for a large scientific influence of the author in question. The H-index of an author can not sink over time and actually only increase.You can calculate the H-index yourself or look in Web of Science, Sopus or Google Scholar.However, each source calculates the H-index otherwise so that the value is not quite comparable.Google Scholar is accessible to every human being. For me, the number of quotations are currently on 3226 and the H-index to 27. The work ‘Fat Oxidation in Men and Women Endurance Athletes in Running and Cycling’ in Int J Sports Med. 2004 Jan; 25 (1): 38-44 was most mentioned with 109 citations. Followed this work from ‘Participation and Performance Trends in Ultra Triathlon from 1985 to 2009’ in Scand J Med Sci Sports.2011 Dec; 21 (6): E82-90 The 75 times quoted. The last top ten publication is ‘Upper arm circumference is associated with race performance in ultra-endurance runners‘ in Br J Sports Med. 2008 Apr;42(4):295-9.

The best age for the fastest triathlon time

The best triathletes are older in longer race distances - a comparison between Olympic, half-ironman and ironman distance triathlon For the planning of the best performance in a triathlon race, many details are important.A relatively well-planned value is the age in which the best performance is to be expected. We have compiled the age of the best athletes for the Olympic Distance, half Ironman distance as well as the entire IronMan distance from all international races from 2003-2013. For men, the fastest times over the Olympic distance at 27.1 ± 4.9 years were achieved over half the Ironman distance with 28.0 ± 3.8 years and over the entire Ironman distance at 35.1 ± 3.6 years.It showed that the differences were significantly significant.For women, the fastest times over the Olympic distance at 26.6 ± 4.4 years, over half the Ironman distance, were achieved at 31.6 ± 3.4 years and over the entire Ironman distance at 34.4 ± 4.4 years.Again, the differences were significantly significant.

What influences the pacing in the triathlon?

Factors influencing pacing in triathlon For a triathlon, there are various factors with an impact on performance. The most important are the length of the competition resp.The duration, the dynamics of the race such as windshade driving and the influence by other athletes, then environmental factors such as currents, wind speeds and topography, then the change zones from swimming to cycling and cycling to run, age and gender. A very good compilation of these influencing factors can be found under https://www.dovepress.com/articles.php?article_id=18350
