Abstract

Aim: We aimed to analyze sex differences in time-limited ultramarathon participation, while also identifying trends in participation, age, and performance across different formats of events, from 1990 to 2020. Method: This is an exploratory study, using data obtained from the official event web pages. We downloaded information regarding the year of the event, athletes' year of birth, sex, race event, ranking, and mean running speed (km/h). The sex gap in participation was presented through equiplots. Regression models were fitted to analyze trends in participation, age, and performance, considering a 95% confidence interval. Results: A similar pattern of increase in participation and age was shown for athletes of both sexes until 2019. The sex gap remained, displaying different patterns across race events. A general trend of slower mean running speeds was shown. The random-effects analysis showed that sex and age played significant roles in the performance trajectory across the years, in each race event. Conclusions: Apart from the 8-day race among females, there was a decline in the performance across all race durations. Despite the trend of performance decline, future studies need to address the relevance of this decline in both theoretical and practical terms.

限时超长马拉松项目参与和表现趋势的性别差异。
目的:我们的目的是分析限时超级马拉松参与的性别差异,同时确定1990年至2020年不同赛事形式的参与、年龄和表现的趋势。方法:这是一项探索性研究,使用从官方活动网页获得的数据。我们下载了赛事年份、运动员出生年份、性别、比赛项目、排名和平均跑步速度(km/h)等信息。性别参与差异通过等分图呈现。考虑95%的置信区间,拟合回归模型来分析参与、年龄和表现的趋势。结果:直到2019年,男女运动员的参与度和年龄都出现了类似的增长模式。性别差异仍然存在,在不同的比赛项目中表现出不同的模式。总体趋势是平均运行速度变慢。随机效应分析显示,性别和年龄在每一项赛事的成绩轨迹中都起着重要作用。结论:除了8天的赛程外,所有赛程的成绩都有所下降。尽管表现有下降的趋势,但未来的研究需要在理论和实践方面解决这种下降的相关性。
