Characteristic of female marathon runners

Force-Velocity Characteristics, Muscle Strength, and Flexibility in Female Recreational Marathon Runners Physical fitness components relating to the performance at the marathon, eg.As aerobic capacity and body composition, were examined in detail. On the other hand, in this sport, data on components of health-related physical fitness, such as mobility and muscle power were missing in this sport. The aim of the present study was therefore to capture force-speed (FV) properties, muscle strength and flexibility in leisure marathon runners and examine their relationship to age, race time and anthropometric properties (body fat, fat-free mass) for fat-free mass (FFM) and total cross-section of the thigh muscles (CSA). Thirty-Thirty female marathon runners (age 40.0 ± 8.9 years, body fat percentage 19.5 ± 4.6% and personal record 4:34 ± 0:39 H: min), divided into three age groups (<35, 35-45 and> 45 years) and in three power groups (race time <4:15 h: min, 4: 15-4: 45 h: min and> 4:45 h: min) were examined on sit-and-reach test (sar), Isometric muscle power tests, squat-jump, Counter-Movement-Jump and FV test on a bicycle gutter. The main results were that the participants had modest values for body composition and physical fitness, taking into account the norms of the general population, the age group <35 years had a better springability than the age group 35-45 years and> 45 years and the older age group had lower values forF0, Pmax and RPMAX as their younger peers, the slowest performance group achieved the highest value in SAR and the isometric strength, F0 and Pmax largely correlated with the body mass and FFM. Considering the lack of existing data for anaerobic performance and the neuromuscular fitness of marathon runners, the results proven in this study would be useful for coach to monitor their athletes training.

What influences food intake in extreme duration

Factors influencing ultra-endurance athletes’ food choices: an adapted food choice questionnaire During endurance training and competition, insufficient nutrient supply was reported. Although insufficient nutritional knowledge can contribute to inappropriate nutritional decisions, the relationship between these variables is often weak. Therefore, this study examined the importance of a series of factors for the selection of food for extreme dormant sports enthusiasts. An existing questionnaire for the selection of food has been expanded to consider the most important factors that have been suggested to influence the food selection of these athletes. The questionnaire was tested in a pilot experiment with endurance athletes. During this period, he was refined and re-evaluated in terms of internal consistency and test retest reliability. Subsequently, 101 experienced extreme endurance athletes filled out the changed questionnaire. The athletes also documented restrictions on nutrition or strategies that were used to prepare for the competition. The factors classified by the majority of athletes were “supplies me with energy,” “do not cause gastrointestinal complaints” and “are nutritious”. Despite the high importance of energy supply, only 38.2% of the participants stated that they had prepared for a carbohydrate diet preparing for competition. Considering the fact that nutritious foods typically have a high amount of fiber, it is likely that this factor is conflicting with avoiding gastrointestinal discomfort.

Pacing in the Vasalauf by origin

Differences in pacing of cross-country skiers by nationality - The example of Vasaloppet 2004-2017 It has already been observed that athletes dominate certain genital nationality certain sports;However, this phenomenon has been less explored in cross-country skiing, especially with regard to performance-related aspects, such as the pacing. The aim of the present study was to investigate the impact of nationality on the stimulation strategies of long runners who completed the ‘vasalauf’ from 2004 to 2017. We examined 183'919 finishers (19,465 women and 164'454 men), which in 15 nationalities, ie nationalities with number of finishers over 0.25% of the total number of finishers. For women, athletes were from Russia (7:47:46 h: min: s) the fastest and athletes from Denmark (10:01:03 H: min: S) the slowest. In men, athletes were from Russia (6:33:03 h: min: s) the fastest and athletes from Denmark (9:03:27 H: min: S) the slowest. For women and men, a small interaction between nationality and section times with respect to the speed was observed, whereby the Russians had a more uniform pacing compared to their slower competitors.

World records of 5 km to the marathon

World single age records in running from 5 km to marathon This study examined the relationship between the term and age in one-year intervals using the world records of 5 km to the marathon (5 km, 4 miles, 8 km, 10 km, 12 km, 15 km), 10 miles, 20 km,Half marathon, 25 km, 30 km and marathon). For each race, a regression model was used.The effects of sex alone and in conjunction with age as well as the effects of the country of origin on performance were examined in a multi-variable model. The relationship between age and runtime was modeled by a polynomial function. Order. Women achieved their best half marathon or marathon period a year resp.Three years earlier than men. In contrast, in the other races, the best women’s services later in life were achieved as men (4 miles and 30 km: 2 years later, 8 km: 3 years later, 15-20-25 km: 1 year later, 10 miles: 4Years) or the same age (5 km, 10 km, 12 km).In addition, the age of peak performance with the route has not changed monotonous.For all races except for 12 km, the gender differences in old age had an absolute maximum and a relative maximum near the age of the highest performance. From 8 km, the estimated gender differences increased with increasing distance. In terms of the land, the runners from Canada were 5 km at 00:10:05 h: min: s slower than the runners from the United States of America, and in the half marathon at 00:18:43 h: min: s.In contrast, they were faster in the marathon 00:18:43 h: min faster.In addition, runners from Great Britain were 10 miles at 00:02:53 H: Min: S faster than runners from the United States of America. In summary, differences in the age of peak performance seem to exist between women and men, and the gender differences showed an absolute maximum in old age and a relative maximum near the age of peak performance in almost all trolleys.

Analysis of Powerman Zofingen

Participation and Performance Trends in the ITU Duathlon World Championship from 2003 to 2017 Participation and performance over the years has been explored in detail in various endurance sports and ultra-endurance sports. However, there is less information regarding the duathlon (running, cycling, running). The aim of this study was to examine the performance and the participant trends of Duathlen, which either for short competitions (10 km walk, 50 km bike and 5 km walk) or too long-distance (10 km walk, 150 km bike and 30 km walk) In the PowerMan World Championship “Powerman Zofingen”. We analyzed 7'951 finishers (women, n = 1.236, age 36.7 ± 9.1 years; men, n = 6.715, 40.1 ± 10.1 years), which participated from 2003 to 2017 at the “Powerman Zofingen”.Men were 8.2% faster than women in the short and 7.5% in the long distance. Women were at 4.6 years (35.0 ± 9.0 years. 39.6 ± 10.5 years) and 1.8 years (38.8 ± 8.7 years vs. 40.6 ± 9.5 years) younger in the short resp.Long race. Over the years, an increase in women was observed (eg N = 19 in 2003 and N = 58 in 2017), whereas no change was recognized in the short routes and male finishers. The relationship between men and women (MWR) sank over the years in the long, but not in the short distance. No change of competition time has been observed over the years. The gender difference in the competition time took on the long-way route to which he did not change on the short distance.The age took over the years for both sexes and distances. The gender difference regarding age decreased on the long distance, but not on the short distance.

Jumps and litters at Master Athletes

Jumping and throwing performance in the World Masters’ Athletic Championships 1975-2016. Participation and performance of age class athletes aged 35-39 to 95-99 years participating in the World Championships of Athletics (WMA) 1975-2016 were on throwing disciplines (discus, hammer, spear and spheres of spheres) and jump disciplines (high jump, long jump, Staffrung and Triumphen). A total of 21,723 observations were analyzed by 8,974 Master athletes.A mixed regression model with gender, age group, calendar year and interaction conditions (gender age group, sex year) was performed separately for each event. The services increased over time with each event with a cubic trend. Compared with women, men had better achievements (eg, the estimated difference in the trunk 3,378 meters, p <0.001). However, women improved their performance more than men over the calendar years. The benefits decreased with age for each event (eg in the tri-jump, compared to the age group 45-49 years, was the Performance in the age group 35-39 years by 1,041 meters better and in the age group 85-89 years at 5.32 meters worse).

Pacing in the classic marathon of Athens

Pacing strategies in the ‘Athens Classic Marathon’: Physiological and psychological aspects Despite the increasing scientific interest in the relationship between motivation and the performance of the marathon, there are a few information about the combination of motivation with physiological and psychological parameters. The aim of the present study was therefore to investigate the role of physical fitness and training properties at the pacing in the ‘Athens Classic Marathon’, the marathon that is held on the original line of the marathon. The study participants of this race in 2017 (women, n = 26, age 40.8 ± 9.4 years; Men, N = 130, Age 44.1 ± 8.6 years) were analyzed at their pace during the race, asking questions based on the motivation of Marathon Scale’(MOMS) answered and conducted a number of physiological tests. Women and faster runners ran balanced. The motivation was associated with a higher aerobic capacity and less muscle strength in men, but not in women. Men having a more uniform pace achieved higher values for psychological tackling, self-esteem, life consent, recognition and competition as their colleagues with less uniform pace.
