Abstract

Little is known about the prevalent nationalities among the best-placed athletes participating in “Ironman Hawaii.” Moreover, the age at which athletes achieve their best performances remains unclear. The present study aimed to compare the prevalent nationalities among the athletes, their respective placement among the top five, and the performance difference between the different age groups in ‘Ironman Hawaii’ from 2003 to 2019. A total of 30 354 amateur triathletes were selected from the Obsessed Triathlete (OBSTRI) website. A “TOP 5” division filter was applied for further analysis, resulting in 1 851 athletes being included in this study. Among the male runners, Americans participated the most in Ironman events (39%), followed by Germans (10%). Among female runners, Americans participated the most (54%), followed by Australian runners (8%). Male Americans also featured most among the top five (30%), followed by Germans (16%). Female Americans were the most prevalent among the top five (47%), followed by Australian Americans (10%). There were no significant performance differences (p ​> ​0.05) between the 25–29 and 40–44 age groups for either sex. The 45–49 age group presented significantly worse performance than the 35–39 age group for both sexes (p ​< ​0.001). North Americans were the most performant and frequent participants in “Ironman Hawaii.” The expected performance decline due to aging was observed after 45 years in both sexes.

2003年至2019年间参加“夏威夷铁人三项”比赛的最快业余铁人三项运动员的出身和年龄组
人们对参加 "夏威夷铁人三项赛 "的最佳名次运动员的国籍知之甚少。此外,运动员达到最佳成绩的年龄也不清楚。本研究旨在比较 2003 年至 2019 年参加 "夏威夷铁人三项赛 "的运动员的普遍国籍、各自在前五名中的排名以及不同年龄组之间的成绩差异。本研究从 "痴迷铁人三项运动员"(Obsessed Triathlete,OBSTRI)网站上选取了 30 354 名业余铁人三项运动员。为进行进一步分析,采用了 "TOP 5 "分区筛选法,结果有 1 851 名运动员被纳入本研究。在男子选手中,参加铁人三项比赛最多的是美国人(39%),其次是德国人(10%)。在女性选手中,美国人参赛最多(54%),其次是澳大利亚选手(8%)。在前五名中,男性美国人也最多(30%),其次是德国人(16%)。前五名中美国女性最多(47%),其次是澳大利亚裔美国人(10%)。25-29 岁年龄组和 40-44 岁年龄组的男女生成绩差异不大(p > 0.05)。45-49岁年龄组的男女生成绩均明显低于35-39岁年龄组(p <0.001)。北美人是参加 "夏威夷铁人三项赛 "成绩最好和最频繁的选手。45 岁以后,男女运动员的成绩都出现了预期的衰退。
