BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to define predictor variables for recreational male Ironman triathletes, using age and basic measurements of anthropometry, training, and previous performance to establish an equation for the prediction of an Ironman race time for future recreational male Ironman triathletes. METHODS Age and anthropometry, training, and previous experience variables we...

Off-the-shelf wireless sensing devices open up interesting perspectives for biomedical monitoring. Yet because of their limited processing and transmission capacities most applications considered to date imply either indoor real-time data streaming, or ambulatory data recording. In this paper we investigate the possibility of using disruption-tolerant wireless sensors to monitor the biomedical ...

Nowadays, the need to improve Internet accessibility brings assessment of e-learning formats effectiveness immediate attention researches in inclusive higher education. This project aim was understand specifics implementation an online marathon for deaf and hard hearing (DHH) students who learn a foreign language. The authors noticed some differences dynamics activity DHH doing courses differen...

Age-based prediction equations of maximal heart rate (HRmax), such as the popular formulas Fox's 220-age, or Tanaka's 208-0.7 × age, have been widely used in various populations. Surprisingly, so far these equations have not been validated in marathon runners, despite the importance of the role of HRmax for training purposes in endurance running. The aim of the present study was to examine the ...

In this paper I argue how we can impart deep understanding of inferential statistics by the early introduction of two approaches that students normally encounter only late in their studies, if at all. These are non-parametric methods and ANOVA. As illustration, we imagine a marathon race where firstly there are just two teams with two runners each, and secondly where there is a third team with ...

The purpose of this study was to analyze foot pressure distribution of marathon shoes to which NESTFIT Technology was applied. As for marathon, shoes play a vital role in shortening records. However, they also might become a main factor of injury during longdistance running. This study will examine foot pressure distribution effects of marathon shoes during longdistance running, which have been...

RECENTLY, WIDESPREAD MEDIA attention has been given to Amber Danielle Miller, a 27-yr-old woman (163 cm tall), who, at 39 wk of pregnancy, gave birth following her completion of the Chicago Marathon on October 9, 2011 (17, 19, 21). She completed the Marathon in 6 h, 25 min, and 50 s (Fig. 1), which equates to a brisk walking pace of 14 min, 42 s/mile ( 4.1 m/h or 6.6 km/h) for the full 26.2 mil...

In this paper, determination of optimized regenerative braking-torque function and application in energy efficient driving strategies is presented. The study investigates a lightweight electric vehicle developed for the Shell Eco-Marathon. measurement-based simulation model was implemented MATLAB/Simulink environment used to establish optimization. optimization performed maximize recuperated en...

The aim of the study was to determine reasons for practicing different running distances (5K run, marathon, and ultramarathon), analyze differences in each type according gender, age, marital status. An empirical conducted during 2020 Karkonosze Winter Ultramarathon, 20th PKO Poznan Marathon, 5K run—Parkrun City Trail, over course which we interviewed 925 runners. A total 267 ultramarathoners, ...
