Hyponatremia in female endurance athletes

Description of Three Female 24-h Ultra-Endurance Race Winners in Various Weather Conditions and Disciplines It is well known that the stress-associated hyponatremia is higher in female endurance athletes, these women usually be very slow on the road.

We now have 3 cases of women with stress-associated hyponatemia with all women gained a 24-hour race ahead of the entire male and female competition. We have put together these three extraordinary women in a case report, see https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28847143/

Several ice mugs in a row

Swimming Three Ice Miles within Fifteen Hours Ice swimming is a relative young discipline who is more and more established with own championships.So far, individual case reports have been published in which a float was examined for a longer stay in ice-cold water. We now had the opportunity to pursue a swimmer of the planned to swim several ice mugs in succession.We were able to measure the course of the body core temperature as well as certain blood parameters before and after swimming. Amazing that the swimmer was the highest body core temperature a few minutes after immersion to ice-cold water.With an ice mile to it during swimming to a hypothermia.

Run in the cold

The effect of a 100-km ultra-marathon under freezing conditions on selected immunological and haematological parameters The 100 km run is one of the most popular routes in the ultramarathon.Several studies have already examined the effect of this burden on the runners. As a rule, 100 km runs are discharged with moderate temperatures.In a recent study, we examined the influence of temperature at a 100 km run the influence of the temperature on selected parameters of the immune system. For 15 runners who completed a 100km run at around 0 °, there were too pronounced changes in immune cells and markers of the immune system.

Pulmonary edema while swimming

Diagnosis of swimming induced pulmonary edema – a review The disease of pulmonary edema while swimming (including SIPE for swimming-induced pulmonary EDEMA) has been known for some time and already described in Switzerland at athletes at the Gigathlon in case reports.We have now collected all individual cases described in the literature and examined the diagnosis of the SIPE more precisely. In all cases, significant breathing problems occasionally showed up with bloody ejection.In 73% of cases, hypoxemia was present.In 89% of cases, a lung X-ray image was made, there was a pulmonary edema in about a third of cases. In 81% of cases, there were complete recovery within 48 hours, which is typical of the SIPE.

Pacing between younger and older marathon runners

Do fast older runners pace differently from fast younger runners in the ‘New York city marathon’? The pacing in the marathon has been studied especially for the top runners, but not a fast older and younger runners similar to pacen. We have now analyzed over 300,000 runners between 2006 and 2016 the ‘New York City Marathon’. If you are looking for the runners in groups after conclusion times, the runners with the slowest final times after 5km, 10km, 15km, and 20km have the largest waste in the running speed.

Age-related restriction of the service

Age-Related Changes in Endurance Performance Vary Between Modes of Locomotion in Men: An Analysis of Master World Records. It is known that in the sprint as in endurance charges, the performance with increasing age decreases. However, it is not known to what extent the type of stress has an influence on this process.A French group has examined for swimming, cycling and running for sprint and endurance charges the age clords in 5-year intervals.In swimming 50m and 1500m, when cycling 200m and 1 hour and in running 100m and 10km were investigated. It was reflected in cycling over 1 hour on the web of age-related waste after 60 less pronounced than over 1500m swimming and 10km run.

Masterschwimmer in Delphin

Performance Trends in Master Butterfly Swimmers Competing in the FINA World Championships In swimming, the performance development over the years is usually examined for the top swimmers and most likely for freestile.Rarely, other disciplines such as dolphin are also analyzed. So far, the performance development for age-class athletes in dolphin swimming has never been studied.How have all the dolphin swimmers who swim between 1986 and 2014 at the World Cup of the Masters analyzed.It showed that the men in the age groups were 25-29 to 85-89 years faster than the women, but not in the category 90-94 years. More than 50m, women in the categories were able to reduce the distance to men over the years 30-34 to 60-64 years.Over 100m, this succeeded in the categories 35-39 to 55-59 years.And over 200m, this only succeeded in the categories 30-34 to 40-44 years.
