The aim of the present study was to determine the age of the fastest running speed in 202,370 runners (34,090 women and 168,280 men) competing in the "Comrades Marathon" between 1994 and 2015 using non-linear regression analysis (second order polynomial function). When all runners were considered in 1-year age intervals, the fastest running speed (9.61 ± 1.65 km/h) was achieved at the age of 29.89 years in men, whereas women achieved it at the age of 35.96 years 8.60 ± 1.10 km/h. When the fastest runners were considered in 1-year intervals, the fastest running speed (16.65 km/h) was achieved in men at the age of 36.38 years. For the fastest women, the age of the fastest running speed (13.89 km/h) was 32.75 years. To summarize, for all runners, men achieved the best ultramarathon performance ~6 years earlier than women. When the fastest runners were considered, however, men achieved the best performance ~4 years later than women.
本研究的目的是使用非线性回归分析（二阶多项式函数）来确定1994年至2015年期间参加“同志马拉松”比赛的202,370名跑步者（34,090名女性和168,280名男性）达到最快跑步速度的年龄。当按1岁年龄间隔考虑所有跑步者时，男性在29.89岁时达到最快跑步速度（9.61±1.65千米/小时），而女性在35.96岁时达到最快跑步速度（8.60±1.10千米/小时）。当按1岁间隔考虑最快的跑步者时，男性在36.38岁时达到最快跑步速度（16.65千米/小时）。对于最快的女性来说，达到最快跑步速度（13.89千米/小时）的年龄是32.75岁。总之，对于所有跑步者来说，男性达到最佳超级马拉松成绩的时间比女性早约6年。然而，当考虑最快的跑步者时，男性达到最佳成绩的时间比女性晚约4年。
