Mathematical Modeling Approach to Predict Athletic Time, Performance

Abstract

As we know that the sporting achievement is always interesting fascinating to human. The major of performance to improve the record and broken as with time, keeping the importance of the subject we have decided to study the problem as suggested by D.Edward & M.Hamson (1). In this communication we have collected the data for 200m men/ women race athlete time for all three medalists (Gold, silver & bronze) in Olympics from last 60 years i. e. from 1948 to 2008. All the data have been presented in tabular form. It have been observed that the steady fall in winning times for the men's race indicates that no limiting time for runner at all, which seems unreasonable. We may conclude that the linear model is only valid for a limited range of the years (It may be less than 60 years of the span). Obviously a different model would seem more
