Swimming Science

Friday Interview: Beat Knechtle Discusses Long Course Training We recently published a job in which we compare the difference in performance for all the freestyle routes from 50m to 1500m on the short run (25m Pool) and Langbahn (50m Pool) for swimmers at a national and international level. The work has found the way up to www.swimmingscience.net and thus to the enduper. The publisher Dr.G. John Mullen then made an interview, which can be found at www.swimmingscience.net/2014/02/friday-interview-beat-knechtle.html

Women are faster than men in long-distance swimming

Women Outperform Men in Ultra-Distance Swimming - The ‘Manhattan Island Marathon Swim’ From 1983 to 2013 So far, we have previously examined several sports and events on the difference in performance between men and women and always the men were faster than the women. Except for long-distance swimming, where women can compete partly with the men.Now we have found a competition in which the women could effectively distance the men. In the, Manhattan Island Marathon Swim ‘, a 46 km long swimming competition around Manhattan at water temperatures of significantly below 20 degrees, the best women are around 12-14% faster than the best men.

Relationship of physique and training with performance

Relationship of Anthropometric and Training Characteristics with Race Performance in Endurance and Ultra-Endurance Athletes A large number of peculiarities of body construction such as weight, size, BMI, body fat, skin fold thicknesses, lengths and sizes of extremities show a connection with endurance performance. Also training-specific aspects such as volume and intensity have an impact on competition performance.In addition to these aspects, the personal experience in the sense of previously completed competitions and personal best times is central to performance.

Comparison of female and male half marathon runners

A Comparison of Anthropometric and Training Characteristics between Female and Male Half-Marathoners and the Relationship to Race Time Mostly the marathon track is mentioned when it comes to longer treads and the half marathon track treats very stepmother. However, the finish numbers in the US are a different trend in the sense that the figures of half marathon runners increase and the marathon runners rather decrease.We have now examined whether and how male from female half-marathon runners distinguish and specifically what qualities could be responsible for a fast term. In the men, body fat, running speed in training and BMI were correlated with the competition time.When the BMI has been removed from the regression model, the coefficient changed only slightly.

Compare over 5 km, 10 km and 25 km long distance swimming

Analysis of sex differences in open-water ultra-distance swimming performances in the FINA World Cup races in 5 km, 10 km and 25 km from 2000 to 2012 Current work on long-distance swimming show that the women increasingly approach the men the longer the floating route is.We assume that this is made possible by, windshades swimming. In the case of eLite Schwimmeren to World Cup races, the women would have to significantly reduce the difference to the men of 5 km to 25 km.We have now examined the performance of the floats at the World Cup of the Fina from 2000 to 2012.The fastest swimmers could not improve their performance over the years. If you take the 10ast per year, over 5 km the men were slower, over 10 km and 25 km the women faster.If you determine the difference between the fastest, so for all routes was no change in the difference over the years.At the 10ast per year, the difference over 5 km remained unchanged at around 7.6%, decreased over 10 km to 1.2% and rose above 25 km to 9.6%.

Calculation of the marathon period

Marathon performance in relation to body fat percentage and training indices in recreational male runners Last year, Pro. Giovanni Tanda has developed a formula on the basis of our numbers from the Marathon in Basel to calculate the marathon period based on characteristic features of the training and body construction for hobbyl racers, see https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24379719/. Now Chris Edson, see chrisedson.co.uk based on the formula developed by Prof. Tanda, creates a Web app where you can calculate the probable marathometer, running speed and body fat, the expected marathon time, see http://chrisedson.co.uk/marathon-predictor/index.html

Running women in the ultra range faster than men?

Will women outrun men in ultra-marathon road races from 50 km to 1,000 km? In the literature there are several evidence that women can beat men on the whole long running tracks. We went to this question and have collected and evaluated for 50 km, 100 km, 200 km and 1000 km all the rides of the world from the period from 1969 to 2012. Over the years, the fastest runners were over 50 km and 100 km more and faster, while the fastest runners scored over 200 km and 1000 km no improvement.The difference between the fastest women and the fastest men took over 50 km and 100 km, but remained unchanged over 200 km and 1000 km. If one takes the fastest times, then for the four examined routes above 100 km with 5% of the slightest difference was present, over 50 km at 15.4%, on the other hand, the highest difference.

Can women beat men in long-distance swimming?

Will women soon outperform men in open-water ultra-distance swimming in the ‘Maratona del Golfo Capri-Napoli’? Lately, some studies showed that women’s performance is increasingly approaching men’s performance, with long-distance swimming in cold water showed the smallest differences between men and women. We have now examined the performance at the 36 km long, Maratona del Golfo Capri-Napoli ‘over the time from 1954 to 2013.Over the years, men like women became faster, the performance development was linear. The difference between the three fastest men and women per year fell from 38% in 1963 to 6% in 2013. Since both the performance as the difference between the services was made linearly, it can be assumed that it becomes possible that women are more foreseeableTime the performance of men can achieve resp.The men can hurt.

Hyponatremia in extreme endurance specialists in the Czech Republic

The prevalence of exercise-associated hyponatremia in 24-hour ultra-mountain bikers, 24-hour ultra-runners and multi-stage ultra-mountain bikers in the Czech Republic The current state of frequency of stress-associated hyponatremia is that it comes through a fluid overload due to frequent drinking to a dilution hyponatremia. An aggressive strategy of beverage companies should be causal especially in the US.A Czech group has now examined the prevalence of the stress-associated hyponatremia in extreme endurance specialists in their country.
