Comparison of marathon runners and ironman triathlets

A Comparison of Anthropometric and Training Characteristics between Recreational Female Marathoners and Recreational Female Ironman Triathletes In an earlier work came out that the personal marathon best time correlated with the Ironman competition time in triathlets. It now asked if marathon runners and Ironman triathletters have similarities in training and physique.The comparison of 53 Ironman triathlets with 46 marathon runners showed that significant differences in physique and training templates.

Only the running speed in training correlated with the marathon time at the runners like the triathlets. All details can be found under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23347010/

Swimming performance in 12-hour swimming

No gender difference in peak performance in ultra-endurance swimming performance - analysis of the ‘Zurich 12-h Swim’ from 1996 to 2010. It is well known that men in the extreme pond provide better performance than women. However, there are exceptions and especially in extreme swimming women are able to keep up with the men.We have studied the performance of women and men on, 12-hour swimming in Zurich from 1996-2010. At the age of 19, men were better than the women.

Europeans dominate the number of stay runs in the world

European dominance in multistage ultramarathons: an analysis of finisher rate and performance trends from 1992 to 2010 It is well known that in running the East African athletes throughout the marathon line dominate.In addition to the running tracks to the marathon, there are ultramarathons in the area of multi-stay runs to continental traces. We have now examined for which countries these runners are primarily.Most multilayer runs took place in Germany and France.

Participant and performance at the Ironman Switzerland

An analysis of participation and performance by nationality at ‘Ironman Switzerland’ from 1995 to 2011 The ‘Ironman Switzerland’ is centrally located in Europe and we asked ourselves the question of which countries are the starters and which athletes achieve the fastest times.90% of the finishers come from Europe, the largest part from Switzerland and Germany.

The fastest times were achieved by athletes from Switzerland and Germany. Since the Ironman Triathlon is a world-spanning sport, future studies should investigate as the distribution of the finishers to the Ironman qualification race and the ‘Ironman Hawaii’ is, as well as the distribution and performance at the ‘Ironman Hawaii’ according to the origin of the athletes. Thethesis,Ironman Switzerland’can be found athttps://www.researchgate.net/publication/235911234_An_analysis_of_participation_and_performance_by_nationality_at_%27Ironman_Switzerland%27_from_1995_to_2011

Weight and size in endurance athletes

Estimation bias: body mass and body height in endurance athletes The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a known variable that correlates with performance in endurance charges.The BMI is calculated on the basis of body size and body weight. We have a comparison of 1,607 athletes, including 255 women and 1.352 men, a comparison between the results for body weight and body size that tells us the athletes and the effectively measured values. Men like women underestimated their body weight and overestimated their body size, so the BMI was too low. Especially older athletes (> 35 years) have underestimated body weight and overestimated the body size so that it came to a significant difference in the BMI between the communicated numbers and the effectively measured numbers. All results can be found under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23409596/

Invited review für Asian Journal of Sports Medicine

Anthropometric and training characteristics in ultra-triathletes and ultra-marathoners The editor of Asian Journal of Sports Medicine wants me to write a ‘Invited Review’ on the aspects of training and physique in extreme foreigners such as runners and triathlets.It should be summarized in the current state of knowledge on this topic. We are currently on the analysis of the relationship between nationality and performance in extreme duration competitions.It is generally known that the Kenyans dominate the running tracks to the marathon.What comes after the marathon is not investigated.

Differences between men and women at the Ironman Hawaii

Sex difference in race performance and age of peak performance in the Ironman Triathlon World Championship from 1983 to 2012 Between 1983 and 2012, the top ten finishers at the ‘Ironman Hawaii’ improved their times, with only the men in swimming were better. For the total time, the difference between men and women of 15.2% (1983) decreased to 11.3% (2012).In swimming and cycling, the difference remained unchanged at 12.5% over every year.When running, the difference of 13.5% (1983) took 7.3% (2012). If you take the most fastest per discipline, then the time in the floats remained unchanged while the times in cycling and running became faster.The difference between men and women was 8% in swimming, 12.7% in cycling and 15.2% in progress.

Movement of upper body and basins at cyclists

Skilled movements of the torso and pelvis are vital to cycling performance There is something to be said for the elegance and quality of movement on the bicycle, features that ought to be appreciated in particular from elite level cyclists.

Focus your sights on the movement of the torso and pelvis of elite athletes and you will note a very skilled Sidebend Hip Hike (SBHH) sequence. Fabian Cancellara, performs these movements to perfection, an important reason why he excels at time trials. The same applies to Triathletes who perform at a high level. Rather than keeping the torso and pelvis perfectly still for the sake of physiological economy; the SBHH may improve efficiency by distributing the effort over a greater number of kinetic links and stabilize to reaction forces.
