    Original Article Wheelchair half-marathon and marathon performance – the ‘Oita International Wheelchair Marathon’ 1983-2011 BEAT KNECHTLE1 , ROMUALD LEPERS2 1 Gesundheitszentrum St. Gallen, St. Gallen, Switzerland 2 Faculty of Sport Sciences, University of Burgundy, Dijon, France ABSTRACT Knechtle, B. & Lepers, R. (2013). Wheelchair half-marathon and marathon performance – the ‘Oita International Wheelchair Marathon’ 1983-2011. J. Hum. Sport Exerc., 8(4), pp.974-985. We compared participation and performance trends of individuals with disabilities competing in the half- and full-marathon in the ‘Oita International Wheelchair Marathon’ from 1981 to 2011. The performance times decreased during the 1980’s until the middle 1990’s and stabilized thereafter for both half-marathoners and marathoners. The mean top five overall finishers times were 0:52±0:07 h:min for half-marathoners and 1:36 ±0:11 h:min for marathoners, respectively. The mean age of the finishers increased significantly (p < 0.01) by 0.51 year per annum for the half-marathoners and by 0.62 year per annum for the marathoners, respectively. There was a significant (p < 0.001) age effect on time performance for both distances. The best time performance was observed for the age comprised between 16 and 54 years for half-marathoners, and between 25 and 49 years for marathoners, respectively.

  • Guidelines for the Inclusion of Para-Athletes in Road Races
    Track and Field Road Running Marathons/Ultras Cross Country Running Race Walking Guidelines for the inclusion of Para-athletes in Road Races Introduction This document provides race directors with an overview of considerations for the inclusion of Para-athletes (aka Athletes With A Disability (AWAD)) in road races sanctioned by BC Athletics, to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone. Since the early 1990s, Canadian sport organizations have followed a policy of inclusion for para-athletes. In the sport of Athletics, Para-Athletics caters to wheelchair athletes, amputee athletes, visually impaired athletes, and athletes with cerebral palsy. The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) serves as the international federation for Para-Athletics, establishing the rules and regulations that govern the sport, and co-ordinating international competitions. And in the case of visually impaired athletes, the International Blind Sports Association (IBSA) serves a similar purpose. The competition rules specified by those organizations however, are primarily directed at high-performance competitions, exclusive to para-athletes. In addition to events organized specifically for them, para-athletes can also participate in mainstream events alongside able-bodied athletes. In athletics, these events are typically road races and marathons. To allow for the safe participation of para-athletes, race directors should carefully review their event, and consider making adjustments where necessary. In light of this consideration, participation may be restricted to certain classes of para-athletes. Once it has been determined that it is safe to include para-athletes, a second step is to consider whether para- athletes will compete for their own awards, in which case the categories must be defined.

  • Athletics Is an Exclusive Collection of Sporting Events That Involve Competitive Running, Jumping, Throwing, and Walking. the Mo
    Athletics is an exclusive collection of sporting events that involve competitive running, jumping, throwing, and walking. The most common types of athletics competitions are track and field, road running, cross country running, and race walking. The simplicity of the competitions, and the lack of a need for expensive equipment, makes athletics one of the most commonly competed sports in the world. Organised athletics are traced back to the Ancient Olympic Games from 776 BC, and most modern events are conducted by the member clubs of the International Association of Athletics Federations. The athletics meeting forms the backbone of the modern Summer Olympics, and other leading international meetings include theIAAF World Championships and World Indoor Championships, and athletes with aphysical disability compete at the Summer Paralympics and the IPC Athletics World Championships. Etymology The word athletics is derived from the Greek word "athlos" (0șȜȠȢ), meaning "contest" or "task." Initially, the term was used to describeathletic contests in general ± i.e. sporting competition based primarily on human physical feats. In the 19th century in Europe, the term athletics acquired a more narrow definition and came to describe sports involving competitive running, walking, jumping and throwing. This definition continues to be the most prominent one in the United Kingdom and most of the areas of the former British Empire. Furthermore, foreign words in many Germanic and Romance languages which are related to the term athletics also have a similar meaning. In contrast to this, in much of North America athletics is synonymous with athletic sports in general, maintaining a more historic usage of the term.

Introduction This document is intended to provide guidance to Competition Providers to enhance their knowledge and confidence in promoting the inclusion of disabled athletes in their events. It also aims to ensure they are working under the guidance of the England Athletics Inclusion Policy and within the requirements of the Equality Act. It should be noted that the Equality Act is not just about access to facilities but is intended to promote a change in attitudes and to improve opportunities for disabled people to participate. The reasons disabled people take part in athletics are the same and just as wide ranging as for non-disabled people. With this in mind it should be recognised that disabled athletes will want to participate in events for the same reasons as non-disabled athletes for enjoyment, to improve fitness and to experience the challenge and achievement of competition.

The physical fitness of paraplegics has been examined regularly since The Oita International Wheelchair Marathon (half marathon) was inaugurated (1981). A full marathon (42·195 km) was adopted at The 3rd Meeting (1983). The individual equations between heart rate (HR) and oxygen consumption V02 were drawn from the preliminary test on the subjects who were expected to be among the top finishers in these races. V02 during these races was indirectly estimated and showed a fairly low value (35'0 ± 3,8 ml/kg/min in the full race, 32-7 ± 6-3 ml/kg/min in the half race respectively) in comparison with able-bodied elite runners. However, the paraplegic participants had extremely high HR (171·6 ± 20·5 beats/min, 168·1 ± 9·8) con­ tinuously throughout the race. Though the ratio of active muscle mass of arms to legs in paraplegic athletes may approximate to near equal, paraplegic arms seem to exert physiologically and mechanically less efficient power.
