A Problem on Track Runners
نویسندگان
چکیده
Consider the unit circle C and a circular arc A of length l = |A| < 1. It is shown that there exists k = k(l) ∈ N, and a schedule for k runners with k distinct but constant speeds so that at any time t ≥ 0, at least one of the k runners is not in A.

The Lonely Runner with Seven Runners
Suppose k + 1 runners having nonzero constant speeds run laps on a unit-length circular track starting at the same time and place. A runner is said to be lonely if she is at distance at least 1/(k + 1) along the track to every other runner. The lonely runner conjecture states that every runner gets lonely. The conjecture has been proved up to six runners (k ≤ 5). A formulation of the problem is...
متن کاملBetter economy in field running than on the treadmill: evidence from high-level distance runners
Given the ongoing interest in ways to improve the specificity of testing elite athletes in their natural environment, portable metabolic systems provide an opportunity to assess metabolic demand of exercise in sport-specific settings. Running economy (RE) and maximal oxygen uptake ([Formula: see text]O2max) were compared between track and treadmill (1% inclination) conditions in competitive lev...
متن کاملIncidence of Running-Related Injuries Per 1000 h of running in Different Types of Runners: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
BACKGROUND No systematic review has identified the incidence of running-related injuries per 1000 h of running in different types of runners. OBJECTIVE The purpose of the present review was to systematically search the literature for the incidence of running-related injuries per 1000 h of running in different types of runners, and to include the data in meta-analyses. DATA SOURCES A search ...
متن کاملSecular Trend in Thinness Prevalence for 26 Years (1989 - 2014) among High School Runners in Japan
BACKGROUND Female distance runners are predisposed to thinness for performance reasons and at greater risk for health-related consequences than the general population. OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to evaluate the secular trends in thinness among competitive distance runners in Japanese high schools with sex-specific comparison. METHODS Body mass index (BMI) were analysed in 9,881 fem...
متن کاملInvestigation of the Influences of Track Superstructure Parameters on Ballasted Railway Track Design
The main design criteria of ballasted railway tracks include rail deflections, rail bending stresses, rail wheel contact stresses, sleeper bending moments and ballast sleeper contact pressures. Numerous criteria have been defined for the design of ballasted railway tracks owing to the various mechanical properties of track components and their complex interaction. Therefore, railway track desig...
