Death and Cardiac Arrest in U.S. Triathlon Participants, 1985 to 2016: A Case Series Sofa athlete or non-athlete often believes that athlete harms damage and sport can also be very fatal.On the basis of deaths to triathlon competitions, an American group has studied how often cardiac cases occur at a triathlon. For this purpose, they evaluated all triathlons in the US from 1985 to 2016.Based on the ‘U.S.National Registry of Sudden Death in Athlets’ and the compilations of USA Triathlon (USAT) could be established these deaths. A total of 135 exceptional deaths were registered like sudden death, unsuccessful reanimation or accident. It was 85% of men with a middle age by 47 years.During swimming, 90 triathlets died while cycling 7, while running 15 and after the race 8. 15 of the fatal accidents occurred on the bike path.The incidence for an accident content resp.Herzdod Among the 4'776'443 Triathlen was 1.75% per 100,000 participants, slightly higher for men with 2.40% than for women with 0.74%.

When hobby runners run a marathon in about three and a half hours, the full performance is available 7 days after the marathon.

Read moreThe greatest achievement made an 83-year-old The performance of the so-called age-class sports enthusiast is interested in all athletes of interest that are no longer active in the category of the elite or main class. The records for age-class runners of 100 m to very long ultramarathon routes are known and are continuously updated, as well as the records for swimmers about the different disciplines and routes. For Triathlen, the Japanese Hiromu Inada has set a new brand.At the, Ironman Hawaii 2016 he reached the goal at 83 years. For the 3.8 km swimming, he needed 01:41:54 h: min: S, for the 180 km cycling 08:06:10 H: min: S, for the Marathon 06:34:01 H: Min: S and for theTotal route 16:49:13 H: min: s. It can be assumed that the age of 83 years is always screwed up in the next few years and decades.

Read moreMaximal Fat Oxidation is Related to Performance in an Ironman Triathlon We know that fat is an important high-energy substrate for long to very long endurance charges. A Danish group has examined the relationship between the maximum fat oxidation rate in the laboratory and the competition time on an Ironman triathlon. It showed a clear relationship between the maximum fat oxidation rate with the maximum oxygen uptake, the percentage of body fat and the competition time.
Read moreHokas are just the best! If you are trained as a triathlet or runner, the choice of materials inevitably turns out the question of which shoes on the feet you want to run, except one is barefoot runner. At the ‘Ironman Hawaii’, the running shoes are counted annually which are used by the triathletes. It showed the Hoka One One in front of Saucony and ASICs is most commonly worn, see http://lavamagazine.com/kona-shoe-count-hoka-laps-past-asics-for-top-spot/. If you would take the ‘Ironman Hawaii’ for triathlets as ‘gold standard’, it should be really clear that you should walk Hoka One ONE.In the ultra skirters, the Hoka One ONE are also established.If you take a somewhat coarser and longer run how across the US is running in record time, Hoka also seems to be the first choice here.The 29-year-old Pete Costelnick has reduced the 36-year-old record for the crossing of the US on foot (4828 km) to 42 days 6 hours and 30 minutes. When you read the article and the photo looks at inevitably falls that he has also run with Hoka, see https://www.running-club.fr/actualites/run-smile/item/5076-un-Ultrarunner-bat-Largement-le-Record-de-la-traverse-des-budget-unis-en-course-a-Pied
Read moreThe Role of Nationality on the Pacing of Ironman Triathletes We have analyzed the results of 302'535 Ironman triathlets who have understood an Ironman from 2002 to 2015. We have analyzed the times for swimming, cycling and running as well as the total time.The finishers were divided into groups based on their conclusion. It turned out: women were under the stroke faster than men swimming, running, as well as in the change zone.They were slower on the bike as the men.
Read morePacing Profiles in Age Group Cross-Country Skiers in the Vasaloppet 2012-2016 The pacing has been studied for various sports and age groups in endurance competitions, but we do not know what happens in one of the world’s longest ski resorts. For this purpose, we have analyzed the pacing of 66'435 finishers on the ‘Vasaloppet’ between 2012 and 2016.
It turned out that the number of successful women decreased with increasing age, men and women divide the race differently and the speed in the race over the individual items is dependent on the gender. The complete evaluation can be found under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28950695/
