Characteristic of Hyponatriaemic athletes

Pre-race characteristics and race performance in hyponatremic and normonatremic finishers of Czech ultra-races The stress-associated hyponatremia is a well-known phenomenon in endurance sports and there are certain risk groups for shorter endurance charges such as a marathon. We have now examined in 138 finishers in long-distance races (multi-stay races and 24-hour races in mountain bikes as well as 100km and 24-hour race in progress), whether there are differences in selected variables such as age, gender, club affiliation, workout, experience, body weight and BMIare. There were no differences between athletes with and without hyponatremia in the target.All the work can be read below http://www.gymnica.upol.cz/artkey/gym-201603-0001_pre-race_characteristics_and_race_performance_in_hyponatremic_and_normonatremic_finishers_of_czech_ultra-races.php

The Ethiopians are the fastest marathon runners

Running Performance, Nationality, Sex and Age in 10km, Half-marathon, Marathon and 100km Ultra-marathon IAAF 1999-2015 We know that the fastest marathon runners from East Africa come and that the age of the fastest marathon runners is 30 years. However, it has not yet been investigated whether the age of the runners differs from different nationalities.We now have the marathon runners also the 10-km runners, the half marathon runners and the 100 km runners analyzed the listed in the leaderboard of the IAAF since 1999. In a total of 38,895 runners were over 10 km and half marathon athletes from Kenya.On the marathon track, both Kenyans such as Ethiopians were most often found.About 100km, however, the most Japanese were found.The best women were over 10km, half marathon and marathon older than men, but over 100km was no difference between the sexes.

Observer reportage

In the suffering society The observer reporter Moritz Marthaler has examined by means of a long-distance wheel race whether and how passing managers are in sports. Surely successfully successful people can also regularly do sports sports.

However, there will be no professionally curved manager in sports to come to the top, not in his age group. In the report, my opinion is also inserted, see http://webreportagen.beobachter.ch/lidensgesellschaft/

Retrospect and Prospect

The hunt for the legend After the competition in Mexico, I conclude the first 20 years long-distance triathlon. I never expect that I can finish such competitions and can win.In 1997, I played my first ultra (triple) and then set a Swiss record in Le Fontanil.Now 2016 I played a triple again and was able to set up a track record. In recent years, I saw many athletes, winners, losers, world champion and was at world record race.Few people stayed true to the sport for a long time and many were forgotten again.Only one of these many has set a brand that seems almost unattainable. The Frenchman Guy Rossi has gotten most of the Ultras and rightly applies as a living legend.His record numbers I will try to try in the next 20 years and try to remove each individual record.

Sex differences in the pacing at Ultraman Hawaii

Sex differences in pacing during ‘Ultraman Hawaii’ Generally, we assume as active triathlets from that one runs slower after a quick cycle split.If you look at a faster runtime on the bike. So far, no one has studied what happens at a multi-papier race with different distances and disciplines like the Ultraman Hawaii.We have now collected all finishers from 1983-2015 and their final times divided into quartiles (Q1 = the quarter with the fastest times and Q4 = the neighborhood with the slowest times).We found out that men and women at the Ultraman Hawaii are very different. For the fastest women, the power took off during day 1 from swimming to cycling, but remained constant during day 2 (cycling) and day 3 (running).

Infodemiology in the triathlon

Infodemiological data of Ironman Triathlon in the study period 2004-2013 We have studied as often triathlets (and other people) since 2004 on the search engine Google search for the term Ironman Triathlon. The search was cyclically over the years, correlated with the number of annual finishers and women were more often surfing than men.Younger athletes who survived much more often on the Internet were much less on the competitions.

There was also a connection to the men between cycling and demand on the Internet as well as a connection between the countries with most medals and searches on the Internet. The somewhat exceptional study can be found under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27642618/

Laboratory changes in younger and older ultra skills

Predicting race time in male amateur marathon runners So far, there have been some attempts to develop formula to predict the marathon period as accurately as possible. A Spanish group has now measured various variables (physique, training, muscle strength, ruffier test) in 84 men and looked at which variables the time can be predicted.Many of the variables correlated with the term. There were 2 models in which body fat, changing the heart rate in recovery after the ruffier test and the half-marathon time (model 1) as well as body fat, change in heart rate in recovery after the ruffier test and the 10 km time (model2) The competition time could predict best. The complete analysis can be found under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27385548/

Laboratory changes in younger and older ultra skills

Changes in blood morphology and chosen biochemical parameters in ultra-marathon runners during a 100-km run in relation to the age and speed of runners A Polish group according to various laboratory values measured at a 100 km run and examined whether the changes in values depend on the age of the runners.They have decreased in 14 men at a 100 km run before, during and after the run blood values. It came to an increase in myoglobin and bilirubin.The change in the number of white blood cells correlated with the muscle damage.

Performance development at age group swimming in breast swimming

Performance Trends in Age Group Breaststroke Swimmers in the FINA World Championships 1986-2014 The performance in breastfeeds has so far been studied only for top swimmers. We have now collected all the results of the FINA World Masters Championships from 1986 to 2014.During this time, Totally 16,160 women and 18'983 men in the age groups went to the start 25-29 years to 95-99 years.Over the years, the times improved in all ages. It showed that the men in the age groups were 25-29 to 85-89 faster than the women.On the other hand, women in the age groups 90-94 to 95-99 were equal to the men. The women were able to reduce the distance from the men between about 40-75 years over the years, but not in the younger resp.Older age groups. It can be assumed that age class floats at international level can improve their achievements in the next few years and decades. All other details under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27604135/
