No case of exercise-associated hyponatraemia in top male ultra-endurance cyclists: the ‘Swiss Cycling Marathon’ The stress-associated hyponatremia has been studied for triathlets, runners and mountain bikers, but not for long-distance wheels. We found a surprisingly any case of stress-associated hyponatremia, under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21656229/

Personal best marathon time and longest training run, not anthropometry, predict performance in recreational 24-hour ultrarunners We examined at the ‘24-hour-run basel ‘, which variables correlate with the mileage. With the significant variables we have created a formula, with the future 24-hour runners can estimate their potential final performance. The formula can be found under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21642857/

Personal best times in an Olympic distance triathlon and in a marathon predict Ironman race time in recreational male triathletes For male Ironman triathlets, we have correlated variables of body construction, training and experience with the conclusion time and examined which variables are best correlated with the Ironman competition time. Based on the results, we have developed a formula with the athletes who can calculate an Ironman triathlon for the first time to calculate their expected competition time. The formula can be found in https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24198578/
Read moreAnalysis of ultra-triathlon performances From the years 1985-2009 we found a total of 73 triathlets (68 men and 5 women), which have completed twice, three times and a tenfold Ironman during their career. The slash pages for swimming, cycling and running we have correlated with the corresponding competition time as well as the competition times for double and tripled Ironman over time for ten times. Based on this evaluation, we have developed a formula with which one can calculate the expected competition time in a tenfold Ironman. The formula can be found in https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/pmc3781891/
Read morePredictor variables for a 100-km race time in male ultra-marathoners Based on results from 169 finishers at 100 km run in Biel, we have tried to find out if we can develop a formula based on characteristics of body construction as well as the training of the runners to predict the competition time as accurately as possible. The result can be found under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21319608/
Read moreSimilarity of anthropometric measures for male ultra-triathletes and ultra-runners We went the question of whether triple Ironman triathlets relatively similar to physique and training are comparable to ultra skills.
Read moreAt the end, we came to the conclusion that hardly any parallel between these two athlete groups exist. The abstract to this under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21319620/
Personal best time and training volume, not anthropometry, is related to race performance in the ‘Swiss Bike Masters’ mountain bike ultramarathon For mountain bikers on the ‘Swiss Bike Masters’ we have investigated whether peculiarities of body construction, training or experience with the competition time correlate. In the multivarian analysis, it came out that the personal best time at the ‘Swiss Bike Masters’, the annual volume of wheel kilometers as well as the annual volume of road kilometers with the conclusion time correlate below https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21522074/

A comparison of anthropometric and training characteristics of Ironman triathletes and Triple Iron ultra-triathletes We have compared features of body construction as well as the training of Ironman and Triple Ironman Triathlen. It showed significant differences in physique as well as in training.
Both athlete groups are common that low body fat is advantageous. In the triple Ironman triathlets, the training volume appears to be on the bike and in progress, while Ironman triathlets, on the other hand, the speed in cycling.
