Women can beat men in the Ultralauf

Do women reduce the gap to men in ultra-marathon running? So far, a lot has already been reported that women in individual cases can beat all men in very long runs.Whether this is really possible in a larger style you can only check different routes and a long period of time on the basis of a large-scale study. We therefore have analyzed all runners who have completed one or more competitions between 1975 and 2013 in runs over 6 hours, 12 hours, 24-hour, 48 hours, 72 hours, 6 days and 10 days. The most important findings are that the difference between the sexes with increasing age increased.Over the years, women were able to move up to men over 6 hours, 72 hours and 6 days to men, but not over 24 hours and 48 hours.

Age group athletes could significantly improve their achievements over the years.For swimming, however, very little numbers are available, especially for other layers as a freestyle.We have now examined the performance of the age class swimmer at the FINA World Cup since 1986 for the discipline back swimming.

Comparison of athletes with and without hyponatremia

Pre- and Post-Race Hydration Status in Hyponatremic and Non-Hyponatremic Ultra-Endurance Athletes We have studied the hydration state of 113 extreme duty athletes before and after a competition. If one compares people with and people without hyponatemia after the competition, there was no difference in the blood in the blood before the competition and the specific gravity in the urine and the body weight before and after load.

Surprisingly, both people with and people without hyponatremia after the burden were already very well hydrogenated before the competition. All other details can be found under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27188470/

Drafting in swimming and cycling

Sex Difference in Draft-Legal Ultra-Distance Events - A Comparison between Ultra-Swimming and Ultra-Cycling It is well known that men are faster than women.As a rule, sports and routes were examined where drafting was not possible resp.was forbidden. We now have a swimming competition (16 km swimming in the ‘Faros Swim Marathon’) and a wheel race (24-hour wheel race) examined in which the women will be able to swim behind the men to swim resp.to drive.It can be assumed that the difference between the sexes becomes smaller.Over the years, women in swimming competition could reduce the difference from 5.3% to 1.0%. When cycling, the difference dropped from 33.3% to 10.9%.If you compare the fastest athletes, the difference in swimming was 1.5% and 26.4% in cycling.
