Weight changes, medical complications, and performance during an Ironman triathlon.
BACKGROUND Subjects exercising without fluid ingestion in desert heat terminated exercise when the total loss in body weight exceeded 7%. It is not known if athletes competing in cooler conditions with free access to fluid terminate exercise at similar levels of weight loss. OBJECTIVES To determine any associations between percentage weight losses during a 224 km Ironman triathlon, serum sodi...
متن کاملMedical support during an Ironman 70.3 triathlon race
BACKGROUND The Ironman 70.3 race is also called a half Ironman, and consists of 1.9 km of swimming, 90.1 km of cycling, and 21.1 km of running. The authors provide practical insights that may be useful for medical support in future events by summarizing the process and results of on-scene medical care. METHODS The medical post was established at the transition area between the cycling and run...
متن کاملCore temperature and hydration status during an Ironman triathlon.
BACKGROUND Numerous laboratory based studies have documented that aggressive hydration strategies (approximately 1-2 litres/h) are required to minimise a rise in core temperature and minimise the deleterious effects of hyperthermia on performance. However, field data on the relations between hydration level, core body temperature, and performance are rare. OBJECTIVE To measure core temperatur...
متن کاملPredictive variables for half-Ironman triathlon performance.
OBJECTIVES To examine the relationship between training, anthropometric characteristics, tapering, and time performance for a half-Ironman distance race. DESIGN Cross sectional study in triathletes. METHODS Data were obtained for 209 participants (155 males; 54 females) competing in a half-Ironman triathlon. Participants provided information regarding triathlon experience, training, race pr...
متن کاملWhat predicts performance in ultra-triathlon races? – a comparison between Ironman distance triathlon and ultra-triathlon
OBJECTIVE This narrative review summarizes recent intentions to find potential predictor variables for ultra-triathlon race performance (ie, triathlon races longer than the Ironman distance covering 3.8 km swimming, 180 km cycling, and 42.195 km running). Results from studies on ultra-triathletes were compared to results on studies on Ironman triathletes. METHODS A literature search was perfo...
