When is the age of the best Ironman time?

Age of peak performance in elite male and female Ironman triathletes competing in Ironman Switzerland, a qualifier for the Ironman world championship, Ironman Hawaii, from 1995 to 2011 We have analyzed the competition times at the ‘Ironman Switzerland’ from 1995-2011 to find out what age the best times are achieved. We sought the age sought in which the best conclusion times are achieved, but also in what age the best times for swimming, cycling and running.The top ten were 33 ± 3 years old in men and 34 ± 4 years in men. For women, there was no difference in old age for the best swimmers, cyclists or runners during men the best swimmers with 29 ± 3 years were significantly younger than the best runners at 35 ± 5 years.

Swim at 10 degrees in Lake Constance

Changes in body core and body surface temperatures during prolonged swimming in water of 10 °C–a case report In the spring of 2012, the German extreme swimmer Bruno Dobelmann sponge in preparation for the land crossing for 6 hours at a temperature of just under 10 degrees.Basically, one would expect to come to a pronounced hypothermia in such a cold water as a long time. Surprisingly, however, the body core temperature remained constant and what was much more amazing, she even rose at the beginning of swimming.After exiting the water, the body core temperature dropped a bit, which is generally known as ‘afterdrop’. By the way, the swimmers would have had to be dead of cold water after 2 hours and 55 minutes by a formula at just under 10 ° C.

Change in skin fold thickness at 100 km runners

Changes in single skinfold thickness in 100 km ultramarathoners It is well known that long to very long endurance charges lead to a decrease in body fat.It comes to a decrease in the subcutaneous grease layer, whereby no one has been investigating which skin fold thicknesses remove the most. We studied at 219 100 km runners at which parts of the body remove the skin folds. After 100 km, the runners decreased only 0.2 kg to fat, while the muscle mass returned by 0.7 kg.The skin folds adopted at the upper body (transition shoulder to chest) by 0.1%, at the waist by 1.8% and at the calendar by 0.8%. The percentage decrease in the skin fold thickness was smaller than long-distance wheels or long-distance swimmer was found.

Marathon in the climate chamber

Running a marathon from -45°C to +55°C in a climate chamber: a case study The German extreme sportsman Marcel Heinig has run a marathon in the climate chamber and overcome the temperature difference of 100 ° C.Start was at - 45 ° C and the end at + 55 ° C. Previous and during the marathon various blood and urine values were determined as well as the body temperature on the surface and in the body interior measured.The body core temperature remained constant while the temperatures on the body surface made massive fluctuations. The laboratory values showed a massive increase in growth hormone (+ 391%), prolactin (+ 221%), Renin (+ 1145%) and Aldosterone (313%).

Comparison marathon runners and 24-hour runners

Comparison of anthropometric and training characteristics between recreational male marathoners and 24-hour ultramarathoners For 24-hour runners, the personal marathon best time is an important variable to estimate the mileage on the competition. The probability that between marathon runners and 24-hour runners similarities between physique and training should be high.We have therefore compared marathon runners and 24-hour runners regarding training and physique. The 24-hour runners were older than the marathon runners, had thinner sizes and thinner skin folds at several points of the body.Regarding training, the Ultralaufen completed more kilometers but at lower speed.
