Does excessive endurance load leads to cartilage damage?

No damage of joint cartilage of the lower limbs in an ultra-endurance athlete – an MRI-study The general opinion is the excessive endurance charges in training and competition lead to cartilage damage of the joints of the loaded extremity. Data resp.Pictures to joints from athletes in the area of extreme duration are not available. On the basis of a falling report at an endurance athletes, we have examined the joints of the lower extremity (ankle joint, knee joint and hip joint) with conventional and microscopic MRI.The athlete in the last 18 years in training and competition per year back 25,000 radikilometers, 4,000 running kilometers as well as around 270 swimming kilometers. The MRI images were evaluated by three different radiologists with respect to the thickness of the cartilage and examined by a fourth radiologist with respect to the quality of the cartilage.

The age of the best performance of back swimming

Comparison of age of peak swimming speed in elite backstroke swimmers at national and international level The age of the best performance in swimmers has been studied for freestyle swimming. The fastest women were ~ 17 years old, the fastest men ~ 19 years.We now examined the age of the fastest backflow on the Langbahn for the tracks 50m, 100m and 200m for swimmers on national (Switzerland) and international level (finalists at the WM). We have examined the results for back floats directly with results for freestyle swimmers from the same period.For all distances and both disciplines, women revealed the best performance at ~ 18-23 years ago, while men swam the best times at ~ 21-26 years.

Comparison Performance Brust Swimmer Short and Langbahn

Differences in swimming speed on short course and long course for female and male breaststroke swimmers: A comparison of swimmers at national and international level We have examined the speed of breast skids on the Langbahn with the speed of breast skids on the short-run for swimmers at national level (Switzerland) and international level (finalists of the World Cup finals). The swimmers were over 50m (1.8-2.6%), 100m (2.2-3.6%) and 200m (2.6-4.2%) faster than on the Langbahn.Over the years, the floats between 1.2% and 5.2% on the short - as the Langbahn were faster, regardless of gender and distance.

Difference short and lang railway for freestyle

The effects of course length on freestyle swimming speed in elite female and male swimmers – a comparison of swimmers at national and international level Swimming in the pool can be completed at 25m and 50m bassin.We have investigated the performance of floors at national level (Switzerland) and international level (World Cup finals) for all routes from 50m to 1'500m. On the short-run, men like women of both levels were average 2.0 ± 0.6% faster.Gender differences were greater than the short-run greater than on the Langbahn for floats of both levels of 50m to 800m. Over the years, men and women at an international level were faster during the national level only the men were faster, but with the exception of the 800m and 1'500m on the short-run.Woman at national level were only over 50m, 100m and 1'500m over the years faster.

East African runners at half marathons and marathons in Switzerland

Participation and performance trends of East-African runners in Swiss half-marathons and marathons held between 2000 and 2010 We examined the participation and performance of East African runners on half marathons and marathons in Switzerland from 2000 to 2010. During this period, the number of Kenyan and Ethiopian finishers remained stable while the number of runners of other nationalities for men and women over half marathon and marathon increased. In the half-marathon, the top ten African women and top three and top ten African men were faster than the corresponding non-African runners.In the marathon, however, there were no differences between the top three African men and women compared to the non-African runners.

Performance development over 10km Open Water Swimming

Analysis of 10 km swimming performance of elite male and female open-water swimmers In long-distance swimming since 2008 official races are held over 10km within the meaning of World Cup Race, European Championships, World Championships and Olympic Rennes.We have now examined the trend between 2008 and 2012. Over the period examined, there was no change in the speed of the fastest swimmers, women were 38% slower than the men.

At the top ten per competition showed over the years that the men were slower while women were always fast. The whole work can be found under https://springerplus.springeropen.com/articles/10.1186/2193-1801-2-603

2013 Difference of performance of men and women in the long-distance triathlon

Sex differences in ultra-triathlon performance at increasing race distance There are some guesses in the literature that women can surpass the men on long to very long stretches.We have compared the performance of Triathlen over the simple Ironman route (Ironman Hawaii) as well as twice the Ironman route between 1999 and 2011. Both on Ironman Hawaii like the double Ironman route remained unchanged for the annual top 3 athletes.However, the gender difference on twice the route was greater.
