Body weight and speed over 100km

Body Mass Change and Ultraendurance Performance: A Decrease in Body Mass Is Associated With an Increased Running Speed in Male 100-km Ultramarathoners. Generally, there is the opinion that you have to drink as much as possible in endurance charges, so you do not dehydrate.In particular, the dehydration, expressed as a decrease in body weight, should restrict performance. In ultra skills over 100 km, the situation seems to be a bit different.The fast runners drink more than the slow runners, probably because they are supported by a crew.The increased fluid supply but does not lead to a weight gain resp.Stabilization of the weight.

Controlled diet improves performance

A scientific nutrition strategy improves time trial performance by ≈6% when compared with a self-chosen nutrition strategy in trained cyclists: a randomized cross-over study. In a laboratory study, we have examined whether a controlled delivery of food improves performance over the own strategy of athletes. If the athletes got the food checked according to schema, the performance in a time trial after a permanence burden was significantly improved while the athletes who nourished on their own fists, poor sections.

Mastertriathletes and their IRONMAN performance

Master triathletes have not reached limits in their Ironman triathlon performance. We examined the performance development of the finishers between 18 and 64 years at the, Ironman Switzerland ‘from 1995-2010. If the times of 1995-2010 were divided into intervals of 4 years (1995-1998, 1999-2002, 2003-2006, and 2007-2010), the Masterathlets (over 40 years) have increased by 23% every 4 years,28%, 37% and 48%.In addition, they have continuously improved in swimming, cycling, running, and for the entire route. It can be assumed that the Masterathlets will continue to improve their performance over the next few years. All details below https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22582950/

Comparison of elite and hobby ultrar wheel drivers

A comparison of ultra-endurance cyclists in a qualifying ultra-cycling race for Paris-Brest-Paris and Race Across America - Swiss cycling marathon. We have ultra-wheelers who want to qualify for ‘Paris-Brest-Paris’ with ultra-cyclists who want to qualify for the ‘Race Across America’ compared to training and physique. It turned out that the cyclists in preparation evoked the training very specifically on the race. The study can be found under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22582679/

What influences the performance in long-distance inline coatings?

Age, training, and previous experience predict race performance in long-distance inline skaters, not anthropometry. At ‘Inline 111’, the longest inline race of Europe, we examined what variables affect performance. The most important sizes was the age of athletes, the time spent per training session as well as the personal best time on, inline 111 ‘. All details can be found under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22582684/

Comparison of Ironman triathlets and cyclists

A Comparison of Anthropometric and Training Characteristics among Recreational Male Ironman Triathletes and Ultra-Endurance Cyclists. An older study believed that Ironman was very similar to triathlets regarding the body building. We now compared 83 Ironman Triathlen and 84 long-distance corporation with respect to physique and training. But it showed up that Ironman triathlets and long-distance wheelers with respect to the body building differ significantly. Even in training, there were more differences than similarities.

Sleeping pauses do not improve ultra power

No Improvement in Race Performance by Naps in Male Ultra-Endurance Cyclists in a 600-km Ultra-Cycling Race. In a competition in the area of extreme duration there are various possibilities of tactics. On the one hand, in deep intensity without breaks, you can go through the competition, or you can make breaks and after a recovery, if necessary, faster.We examined at a 600 km long cycle race, whether drivers with breaks faster in the finish are as a driver who do not break any breaks.

No weight loss for long-distance swimming

Body composition and hydration status changes in male and female open-water swimmers during an ultra-endurance event. In general, the opinion is represented that subcutaneous fat is reduced with swimming.Since a large muscle mass is moved and in the mostly cool water due to the cold additional fat should be consumed, it must lead to a degradation of fat. We studied 20 men and 11 women at the marathon swimming in Zurich, which happens after around 27 km swimming with regard to the fatty tissue. While the men accepted weight and muscle mass, nothing happened to the women. The results in detail under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22554315/

Energy deficit at 24 hours cycling

High energy deficit in an ultraendurance athlete in a 24-hour ultracycling race. We have determined the energy balance with a cyclist on a 24-hour wheel race.During the

Runs, he consumed 15'533 kcal and led 5'571 kcal, resulting in a negative balance of 9'915 kcal. The detailed balance sheet is available under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22481841/
