Calculation competition time for 10-fold Ironman

Analysis of ultra-triathlon performances From the years 1985-2009 we found a total of 73 triathlets (68 men and 5 women), which have completed twice, three times and a tenfold Ironman during their career. The slash pages for swimming, cycling and running we have correlated with the corresponding competition time as well as the competition times for double and tripled Ironman over time for ten times. Based on this evaluation, we have developed a formula with which one can calculate the expected competition time in a tenfold Ironman. The formula can be found in https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/pmc3781891/

Calculation competition time for 100 km runners

Predictor variables for a 100-km race time in male ultra-marathoners Based on results from 169 finishers at 100 km run in Biel, we have tried to find out if we can develop a formula based on characteristics of body construction as well as the training of the runners to predict the competition time as accurately as possible. The result can be found under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21319608/

Comparison Triple Ironman and Ultralauf

Similarity of anthropometric measures for male ultra-triathletes and ultra-runners We went the question of whether triple Ironman triathlets relatively similar to physique and training are comparable to ultra skills.

At the end, we came to the conclusion that hardly any parallel between these two athlete groups exist. The abstract to this under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21319620/

Experience and training include mountain bikers

Personal best time and training volume, not anthropometry, is related to race performance in the ‘Swiss Bike Masters’ mountain bike ultramarathon For mountain bikers on the ‘Swiss Bike Masters’ we have investigated whether peculiarities of body construction, training or experience with the competition time correlate. In the multivarian analysis, it came out that the personal best time at the ‘Swiss Bike Masters’, the annual volume of wheel kilometers as well as the annual volume of road kilometers with the conclusion time correlate below https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21522074/

Liquid supply and swelling of the extremities

Fluid intake and changes in limb volumes in male ultra-marathoners: does fluid overload lead to peripheral oedema? At 100 km runners, there is a connection between the total fluid supply during the competition and the change in the volume of arms and lower legs.

The more a runner drinks, the sooner it comes to a swelling. More about https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21720884/

Comparison Ironman versus Triple Ironman

A comparison of anthropometric and training characteristics of Ironman triathletes and Triple Iron ultra-triathletes We have compared features of body construction as well as the training of Ironman and Triple Ironman Triathlen. It showed significant differences in physique as well as in training.

Both athlete groups are common that low body fat is advantageous. In the triple Ironman triathlets, the training volume appears to be on the bike and in progress, while Ironman triathlets, on the other hand, the speed in cycling. The abstract of the study can be found under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21834654/

Calculation competition time half marathon for men

Predictor variables for a half marathon race time in recreational male runners As part of a study at the half marathon in Basel, we have developed a formula with which newcomers can estimate their conclusions on a half marathon.The formula can be found under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24198577/

Increased Average Longevity among the Tour de France Cyclists

“Tour de France” Sanchis-Gomar et al.Have in Int J Sports Med. 2011 Aug; 32 (8): 644-7 published a job that shows that former wheel professionals live significantly longer compared to the average population.

Hard training in the extreme area does not seem to be harmful, but on the contrary to extend life. The abstract can be found under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21618162/

Dehydration of marathon runners

Inverse relationship between percentage body weight change and finishing time in 643 forty-two-kilometre marathon runners. The usual opinion is that a weight loss is considered during endurance load as dehydration and a dehydration should restrict the endurance performance. A French group has measured the weight before and after the competition in cooperation with Prof. Noakes in marathon runners.

Surprisingly came out that the runners were faster with the larger weight loss. The abstract can be found under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21160081/
