A Comparison of Anthropometric and Training Characteristics between Female and Male Half-Marathoners and the Relationship to Race Time Mostly the marathon track is mentioned when it comes to longer treads and the half marathon track treats very stepmother. However, the finish numbers in the US are a different trend in the sense that the figures of half marathon runners increase and the marathon runners rather decrease.We have now examined whether and how male from female half-marathon runners distinguish and specifically what qualities could be responsible for a fast term. In the men, body fat, running speed in training and BMI were correlated with the competition time.When the BMI has been removed from the regression model, the coefficient changed only slightly.
Also for women were body fat and running speed in training important variables for the competition time. The whole study can be found under https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/pmc4009083/
