Récord estratosférico en maratón: así rompieron dos atletas una barrera que se creía insuperable Original
El 6 de mayo de 1954, el atleta británico Roger Bannister logró lo que se consideraba imposible en el atletismo: corrió una milla (1 609,34 metros) en menos de cuatro minutos. Este hito fue celebrado en todo el mundo, y no solo por los aficionados al atletismo. En aquel momento se consideró un logro similar a la primera ascensión al Everest, que Sir Edmund Hillary y Tenzing Norgay habían coronado el año anterior.
Así fue como dos hombres rompieron una barrera del maratón que se creía infranqueable
El 6 de mayo de 1954, Sir Roger Bannister hizo lo que se consideraba imposible en el atletismo: corrió una milla (1.6 kilómetros) en menos de cuatro minutos. El hito fue celebrado en todo el mundo, no solo por los aficionados al atletismo. En ese momento se consideró un logro similar al de escalar el Monte Everest por primera vez, algo que Sir Edmund Hillary y Tenzing Norgay habían conseguido el año anterior.

Como Dois Atletas Quebraram um Recorde Considerado Impossível na Maratona
Em 6 de maio de 1954, Sir Roger Bannister quebrou um dos mais audaciosos limites do atletismo ao completar uma milha em menos de quatro minutos. A proeza reverberou globalmente, sendo celebrada não só por entusiastas do esporte, mas também comparada à primeira escalada do Monte Everest, realizada no ano anterior por Sir Edmund Hillary e Tenzing Norgay.
Como dois homens derrubaram uma barreira que se acreditava insuperável na maratona
Em 6 de maio de 1954, Sir Roger Bannister fez o que era considerado impossível no atletismo: correu uma milha (cerca de 1,6 km) em menos de quatro minutos. O feito foi comemorado em todo o mundo, não apenas pelos fãs do atletismo. Na época, foi considerado uma conquista semelhante à primeira escalada do Monte Everest, que Sir Edmund Hillary e Tenzing Norgay haviam realizado no ano anterior.
Récord estratosférico en maratón: así rompieron dos atletas una barrera que se creía insuperable
Este domingo, el keniano Sabastian Sawe y el etíope Yomif Kejelcha lograron una hazaña comparable a la de Bannister hace casi 72 años: correr los 42 kilómetros de una maratón en menos de dos horas. Analicemos este nuevo hito y averigüemos cómo pudieron conseguirlo. ¿Qué ocurrió en Londres? Sawe batió el récord mundial masculino por unos asombrosos 65 segundos al ganar la prueba en 1 hora, 59 minutos y 30 segundos.

Nutrición, fisiología y zapatillas: los secretos detrás del histórico récord de la maratón por debajo de dos horas Original
El 6 de mayo de 1954, el atleta británico Roger Bannister logró lo que se consideraba imposible en el atletismo: corrió una milla (1 609,34 metros) en menos de cuatro minutos. Running excesivo: ¿cuáles son los riesgos de correr sin control? Este hito fue celebrado en todo el mundo, y no solo por los aficionados al atletismo. En aquel momento se consideró un logro similar a la primera ascensión al Everest, que Sir Edmund Hillary y Tenzing Norgay habían coronado el año anterior.
How two men smashed through a marathon barrier long thought unbreakable

The milestone was celebrated worldwide, not just by athletics fans. It was considered at the time to be a similar achievement to scaling Mount Everest for the first time, which Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay had done the year before.

The role of propulsive force deterioration in the deceleration phase of elite sprinting
Keywords Pacing Olympics Athletics Track and Field elite athletes Racing Sprinters Practical Implications PFD rate, vmax and vfinish: Results show that PFD rate is associated with deceleration rate, vmax and vfinish. Training to maximise vmax and minimising PFD rate (which can be evaluated using the model in this study), will theoretically optimise vfinish and improve race time.
The power of Para sport: the effect of performance-focused swimming training on motor function in adolescents with cerebral palsy and high support needs (GMFCS IV) - a single-case experimental design with 30-month follow-up | British Journal of Sports Med
Discussion There were two main findings from this study. First, a performance-focused swimming training programme comprising training volumes commensurate with WHO physical activity recommendations and delivered by a skilled multiprofessional team conferred improved motor function in previously untrained, physically inactive people with CPHSN.
Cycling Cadence Selections at Different Saddle Heights Minimize Muscle Activation Rather Than Energy Cost
Abstract Unlike walking and running, people do not consistently choose cadences that minimize energy consumption when cycling. Assuming a common objective function for all forms of locomotion, this suggests either that the neural control system relies on indirect sensorimotor cues to energetic cost that are approximately accurate during walking but not cycling, or that an alternative objective function applies that correlates with energy expenditure in walking but not cycling.

An in-silico investigation of the effect of changing cycling crank power and cadence on muscle energetics and active muscle volume
Abstract This study used musculoskeletal modelling to explore the relationship between cycling conditions (power output and cadence) and muscle activation and metabolic power. We hypothesized that the cadence that minimized the simulated average active muscle volume would be higher than that which minimized the simulated metabolic power.

Biomechanics of starting, sprinting and submaximal running in athletes with brain impairment: a systematic review
To view the full text, please login as a subscribed user or purchase a subscription. Click here to view the full text on ScienceDirect. Abstract Objective Para athletes with brain impairment are affected by hypertonia, ataxia and athetosis, which adversely affect starting, sprinting and submaximal running. The aim was to identify and synthesise evidence from studies that have compared the biomechanics of runners with brain impairments (RBI) and non-disabled runners (NDR).
Cluster analysis of novel isometric strength measures produces a valid and evidence-based classification structure for wheelchair track racing
Background The Para athletics wheelchair-racing classification system employs best practice to ensure that classes comprise athletes whose impairments cause a comparable degree of activity limitation. However, decision-making is largely subjective and scientific evidence which reduces this subjectivity is required.
The science of elite long distance running
As marathons and other long distance running events are primarily about endurance, these elite runners must possess excellent cardiorespiratory fitness and efficient technique. But there are many other factors that set elite runners apart from sub-elite and recreational runners—including training volume, body size, tendon function and the length and frequency of strides.
The science of elite long distance running
Sunday’s Gold Coast Commonwealth Games marathon will include exceptional elite-level marathon runners, including Kenneth Mungara, the Gold Coast marathon record holder and Australia’s Michael Shelley, who won the Gold medal at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games Marathon four years ago. As marathons and other long distance running events are primarily about endurance, these elite runners must possess excellent cardiorespiratory fitness and efficient technique.

It's not easy keeping the Paralympics a level playing field, but the current system is the best there is
As the international significance of Paralympic sport increases, so do the financial rewards and prestige associated with winning Paralympic medals. As such, it is not surprising that Paralympic classification systems have drawn attention in the lead up to the Rio Games. Specifically, athletes have publicly expressed concerns that some athletes are in the wrong class. Additionally, following the Rio Games, UK Athletics is reported to be conducting an internal inquiry into classification processes.
