Mastertriathletes and their IRONMAN performance

Master triathletes have not reached limits in their Ironman triathlon performance. We examined the performance development of the finishers between 18 and 64 years at the, Ironman Switzerland ‘from 1995-2010. If the times of 1995-2010 were divided into intervals of 4 years (1995-1998, 1999-2002, 2003-2006, and 2007-2010), the Masterathlets (over 40 years) have increased by 23% every 4 years,28%, 37% and 48%.In addition, they have continuously improved in swimming, cycling, running, and for the entire route. It can be assumed that the Masterathlets will continue to improve their performance over the next few years. All details below https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22582950/

Comparison of elite and hobby ultrar wheel drivers

A comparison of ultra-endurance cyclists in a qualifying ultra-cycling race for Paris-Brest-Paris and Race Across America - Swiss cycling marathon. We have ultra-wheelers who want to qualify for ‘Paris-Brest-Paris’ with ultra-cyclists who want to qualify for the ‘Race Across America’ compared to training and physique. It turned out that the cyclists in preparation evoked the training very specifically on the race. The study can be found under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22582679/

What influences the performance in long-distance inline coatings?

Age, training, and previous experience predict race performance in long-distance inline skaters, not anthropometry. At ‘Inline 111’, the longest inline race of Europe, we examined what variables affect performance. The most important sizes was the age of athletes, the time spent per training session as well as the personal best time on, inline 111 ‘. All details can be found under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22582684/

Comparison of Ironman triathlets and cyclists

A Comparison of Anthropometric and Training Characteristics among Recreational Male Ironman Triathletes and Ultra-Endurance Cyclists. An older study believed that Ironman was very similar to triathlets regarding the body building. We now compared 83 Ironman Triathlen and 84 long-distance corporation with respect to physique and training. But it showed up that Ironman triathlets and long-distance wheelers with respect to the body building differ significantly. Even in training, there were more differences than similarities.

Sleeping pauses do not improve ultra power

No Improvement in Race Performance by Naps in Male Ultra-Endurance Cyclists in a 600-km Ultra-Cycling Race. In a competition in the area of extreme duration there are various possibilities of tactics. On the one hand, in deep intensity without breaks, you can go through the competition, or you can make breaks and after a recovery, if necessary, faster.We examined at a 600 km long cycle race, whether drivers with breaks faster in the finish are as a driver who do not break any breaks.

No weight loss for long-distance swimming

Body composition and hydration status changes in male and female open-water swimmers during an ultra-endurance event. In general, the opinion is represented that subcutaneous fat is reduced with swimming.Since a large muscle mass is moved and in the mostly cool water due to the cold additional fat should be consumed, it must lead to a degradation of fat. We studied 20 men and 11 women at the marathon swimming in Zurich, which happens after around 27 km swimming with regard to the fatty tissue. While the men accepted weight and muscle mass, nothing happened to the women. The results in detail under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22554315/

Energy deficit at 24 hours cycling

High energy deficit in an ultraendurance athlete in a 24-hour ultracycling race. We have determined the energy balance with a cyclist on a 24-hour wheel race.During the

Runs, he consumed 15'533 kcal and led 5'571 kcal, resulting in a negative balance of 9'915 kcal. The detailed balance sheet is available under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22481841/

Too much drink makes thick feet

An increased fluid intake leads to feet swelling in 100-km ultra-marathoners - an observational field study. The phenomenon that long-distance swelling developed has already been investigated and described in seventies through Williams. The researchers have demonstrated an increase in extracellular water at that time, but could not explain the cause.The edema were considered as a possible cause of lung edema in a large amount.

We now have a clear context of 76 ultra skiers to show a clear context between fluid supply and volume of feet: the larger the supply of fluid, the sooner it comes to a swelling of the feet. The study is accessible under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22472466/

Influence of gender and age at Powerman Zofingen

Gender difference and age-related changes in performance at the long-distance duathlon We have investigated the influence of sex and age for the performance at the Powerman Zofingen ‘for the years 2002-2011. In these 10 years, no performance improvement in the TOP10 showed up.Women was average 16% slower than the men.

The fastest times were achieved between 25 and 39 years. All details can be found under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22450258/
