An evaluation of the physiological, biochemical and psychological results obtained by various investigators on participants in competitive marathons is provided. The historical background of the studies on marathon runners suggests that much of the early information has been forgotten and has resulted in repetitive studies providing no additional insight into the physiological problems of these runners. However, the basic information obtained since the first scientific studies of participants in the 1899 marathon race has provided interesting and valuable information. The value of this older basic information to present and future investigators is emphasized. Suggestions for additional research based on results from both the earliest and the latest studies of marathon runners are made. Increasing participation in marathon races by individuals of both sexes, by individuals with various kinds of pathology as well as individuals of varying levels of physical competence suggests the value and need for research on these individuals before, during and after their involvement in such a strenuous and physiologically demanding physical task.
本文对不同研究者在竞技马拉松参与者身上所获得的生理、生化和心理结果进行了评估。对马拉松运动员的研究历史背景表明，许多早期信息已被遗忘，导致重复性研究无法对这些运动员的生理问题提供更多见解。然而，自1899年马拉松比赛参与者的首次科学研究以来所获得的基本信息提供了有趣且有价值的信息。强调了这些早期基本信息对当前和未来研究者的价值。基于马拉松运动员最早和最新研究结果提出了进一步研究的建议。男女个体、患有各种疾病的个体以及身体能力水平各异的个体对马拉松比赛的参与度不断增加，这表明在这些个体参与如此激烈且对生理要求极高的体力任务之前、期间和之后进行研究具有价值且很有必要。
