In ultra-curva, damage to the muscles to the resulting kidney damage is known. We examined whether the supply of amino acids before and during a 100 km run has an influence on parameters of muscle damage and renal function.Runner with intake of amino acids did not differ in the competition performance as well as the parameters of muscle damage and renal function. The summary can be found under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23007065/

Ad libitum fluid intake leads to no leg swelling in male Ironman triathletes an observational field study In 100 km runners, a connection between the swelling of the feet and the fluid supply during the course could be detected. We have now examined whether this is also an Ironman triathlet.Unlike 100 km runners, Ironman triathlets did not swell in the lower extremities but the volume of the lower leg even took off. The decrease in the volume of the lower leg showed no connection with the fluid supply.

Predictor variables for marathon race time in recreational female runners We studied at 29 marathon runners, whether characteristics of body construction or rather the training has an influence on the marathon time. The evaluation revealed that the scope of the calf and the running speed correlated during training with the marathon time.Based on equation 184.4 + 5.0 x (scope of the calf in cm) -11.9 x (running speed in training in km / h), the marathon time can be estimated for women. The study can be found under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22942994/
Read moreBest performances by men and women open-water swimmers during the ‘English Channel Swim’ from 1900 to 2010. The crossing of the English Channel is for extreme swimmers of Mount Everest the mountaineer. Between 1900 and 2010, Totally 1,533 swimmers have passed through the canal.The biggest part of the swimmers came from England.The swimmers were over the years in faster, the men were faster than the women.
However, if you look at the fastest times each year, there was no difference between the sexes. All results can be found under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22830602/

The Transeurope Footrace Project: Longitudinal data acquisition in a cluster randomized mobile MRI observational cohort study on 44 endurance runners at a 64-stage 4,486km transcontinental ultramarathon. In 2009, the trans-European race was conducted by Bari to the North Cape. A research group accompanied the runners with a mobile MRI together with many other investigations. The variety of the resulting studies will give new insights into the resilience of man, the first compilation can be found under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22812450/
Read morePersonal best times in an Olympic distance triathlon and a marathon predict an ironman race time for recreational female triathletes In the long-distance area there are many variables that have an impact on performance. For example, it is known that a deep body fat correlates with a fast competition time. For Ironman triathlets, it is a bit more difficult, because variables of the body construction show no connection with the competition time.
Read moreHigher prevalence of exercise-associated hyponatremia in triple iron ultra-triathletes than reported for ironman triathletes. The stress-associated hyponatremia is a frequent electrolyte track in endurance athletes. As a rule, the percentage is below 10% of the persons studied.However, a study at 100-mile runners showed a significantly increased percentage and we studied the prevalence of stress-associated hyponatremia at Triple Iron Ultra Triathlets at Triple Iron Germany in Lensahn. Of 31 finishers, 8 athletes (26%) developed a hyponatremia, the details below https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22784278/

As important insights we found that less than 8% of the starters a competition longer than the triple Ironman route took in attack and the Europeans won the most competitions on all routes.

Running speed during training and percent body fat predict race time in recreational male marathoners Marathon runners are always wondering if about long legs or much muscles are crucial for a fast marathon period.We have studied with 126 male marathon runners, whether the sizes of extremities, skin fold thickness, weight, size, BMI, muscle mass, or training influence the marathon time.If you consider all the variables, only the body fat and the running speed remain in training at the end. So if you have little body fat and running fast in training, a fast marathon time will be achieved accordingly. These two variables correlate with each other, whoever runs quickly will reduce body fat, but also a deep body fat can promote a fast running speed.
