Age World Cords in the Marathon

Relationship between age and elite marathon race time in world single age records from 5 to 93 years In addition to the official world record for women and men over the marathon route, a list is also led by the world records for each year of life from 5 to 93 years.We have now examined how the marathon time can develop in the course of life. If you graphically represents the marathon world records, this is a U-shaped curve. From 5 years to 20 years comes to an increasing improvement where 5-15 years boys and girls create about the same time.Between 20 and 35, the curve is quite linear, from 35 years, it comes to a deterioration of the time with increasing age.The difference between the sexes increases from 5 years to 20 years, remains at about 20 minutes between 20 and 50 years and then increases with increasing age.

Editorial in ‘Extreme Physiology & Medicine’

Age, sex and (the) race: gender and geriatrics in the ultra-endurance age In the magazine, Extreme Physiology & Medicine ‘Prof. Whyte from Liverpool commented on a part of our work on extreme duration in an editorial. At the exact contemplation of our graphics, he noticed that a 69-year-old triathlete has undergone a 10-fold Ironman. Then he has also noticed that in the area of extreme duration of the difference between the sexes is 20-30%, so much higher than the usual 10% for the shorter endurance tracks. His very interesting designs can be read below https://extremephysiolmed.biomedcentral.com/track/pdf/10.1186/2046-7648-3-1.pdf

Interview request from Canada

Fight of the sexes

The fight of the sexes In the NZZ, there was recently an article on the subject, women in sports will ever be better than men ’the authors referred to the Ironman Triathlon where women are able to join the male field at the front. They then mention different endurance races and show whether and how women have improved towards men.They also refer to a number of our works.But the bottom line remains that the difference between man and woman is usually about 10%. The whole article is to be read under webpaper.nzz.ch/2013/10/13/sport/koymu/kampt-der-silter?Guest_Pass=BE11E230C9:KOMUMU2B2FD27214E367F398FF259A2EFBB5C38EDFC01

Performance and age in ultracycloth

Gender difference in cycling speed and age of winning performers in ultra-cycling - the 508-mile “Furnace Creek” from 1983 to 2012 The ‘Furnace Creek’ is the oldest known ultrar radial with the longest history.We examined the development of performance and age of top drivers from the period from 1983 to 2012. While the driving speed of the best men developed non-linear, the speed took linearly at women.In return, the difference in performance over the years took on linear and is around 11% in 2012.The age of the best men and women increased over the years and was at the age of 43 at the women and at 50 years in men. As the current trend looks like, women in this race are likely to continue to develop positively.

Performance of age class athletes over 100 km and 100 miles

Age group performances in 100 km and 100 miles ultra-marathons So far, it is known that age-class athletes have improved over the years.In the area of ultra-sail, the 100 km run in Biel and over 100 miles in the US, Western States Endurance Run were examined. A problem with previous work is that only 1 event has been analyzed and that only linear regressions were used.We now examined the trend for age class runners for every 100 km and 100 miles of 1971 to 2013. It showed that the runners in the younger to medieval groups (25-35 to 50-65 years) have achieved their zenith because the course of the running speed was non-linear over the years.

Difference between man and woman with long-distance triathlets

Sex difference in top performers from Ironman to double deca iron ultra-triathlon In recent years, women on the Ironman track ensured for a stir on the Ironman route by riding certain athletes very far in the field in the field or even come from the water at the top. It asked if the women slowly run the men on the Ironman track and whether they could chuck the men on the longer triathlon routes.For this purpose, the times of the best men and women from 1978 to 2013 have examined for all routes from Ironman to the twenty-five Ironman track.Not entirely unexpectedly the fastest men were more and faster than the fastest women, except on the floating route about the fivefold Ironmandistanz. If one forms a correlation between the difference of the sexes and the power, the gender difference increases with increasing route length for swimming, running and total time, but not when cycling.
