Upper body skinfold thickness is related to race performance in male Ironman triathletes.
We investigated the association between skinfold thickness and race performance in male and female Ironman triathletes. Skinfold thicknesses at 8 sites and percent body fat were correlated to total race time including the split times for the 3 sub disciplines, for 27 male and 16 female Ironman athletes. In the males, percent body fat (r=0.76; p<0.0001), the sum of upper body skinfolds (r=0.75; ...
متن کاملIs body fat a predictor variable for race performance in recreational female ironman triathletes?
Introduction and aim of the study: Low body fat is related to race performance in endurance athletes. We investigated whether characteristics of anthropometry, training or previous performance were related to race time in recreational female Ironman triathletes. Methods: In 31 female Ironman triathletes, with (mean and SD) 36.8 (6.2) years, 60.8 (6.2) kg body mass, 1.66 (0.06) m body height and...
متن کاملMale ironman triathletes lose skeletal muscle mass.
We investigated whether male triathletes in an Ironman triathlon lose body mass in the form of fat mass or skeletal muscle mass in a field study at the Ironman Switzerland in 27 male Caucasian non-professional Ironman triathletes. Pre- and post-race body mass, fat mass and skeletal muscle mass were determined. In addition, total body water, hematological and urinary parameters were measured in ...
متن کاملAge 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
BACKGROUND The age of peak performance in elite endurance athletes has been investigated for elite marathoners, but not for elite Ironman triathletes. The aim of this study was to analyze the age of peak performance in swimming (3.8 km), cycling (180 km), running (42 km), and overall race time for elite female and male Ironman triathletes competing in Ironman Switzerland, a qualifier for the Ir...
متن کاملPhysiological performance and cardiac function in female ironman- triathletes
Background: Data about physiological performance of female ironman-triathletes are rare. However, some papers reported endurance sport may cause damage of the right or left ventricle even in females. Aim: The goal of this study was to assess prospectively the right/left ventricular function and physiological performance in female ironman-athletes (middleand long-distance). Methods: 33 female he...
