Comparison between men and women at freistic swimming

Women achieve peak freestyle swim speed at earlier ages than men We examined the age of the best swimming performance for freestyle. For men, for 100 m and 200 m, the fastest times were 22-23 years, for 400 meters and 800 m with 24-24 years and for 50 m and 1500 m at 26-27 years.

For women, the best times were achieved with 20-21 years for all routes except 800 m, there was the age of the best performance at 26-27 years. With increasing route length, the difference between the sexes decreased with 13.1 ± 1.3% for 50 m, 13.2 ± 0.9% for 100 m, 10.8 ± 0.9% for 200 m, 7.9 ± 1.3% for 400 m and 4.2 ± 2.0% for 800m. For 1500 m, however, the difference increased again to 6.4 ± 2.3%.

Swim at 10 degrees in Lake Constance

Changes in body core and body surface temperatures during prolonged swimming in water of 10 °C–a case report In the spring of 2012, the German extreme swimmer Bruno Dobelmann sponge in preparation for the land crossing for 6 hours at a temperature of just under 10 degrees.Basically, one would expect to come to a pronounced hypothermia in such a cold water as a long time. Surprisingly, however, the body core temperature remained constant and what was much more amazing, she even rose at the beginning of swimming.After exiting the water, the body core temperature dropped a bit, which is generally known as ‘afterdrop’. By the way, the swimmers would have had to be dead of cold water after 2 hours and 55 minutes by a formula at just under 10 ° C.

Change in skin fold thickness at 100 km runners

Changes in single skinfold thickness in 100 km ultramarathoners It is well known that long to very long endurance charges lead to a decrease in body fat.It comes to a decrease in the subcutaneous grease layer, whereby no one has been investigating which skin fold thicknesses remove the most. We studied at 219 100 km runners at which parts of the body remove the skin folds. After 100 km, the runners decreased only 0.2 kg to fat, while the muscle mass returned by 0.7 kg.The skin folds adopted at the upper body (transition shoulder to chest) by 0.1%, at the waist by 1.8% and at the calendar by 0.8%. The percentage decrease in the skin fold thickness was smaller than long-distance wheels or long-distance swimmer was found.
