摘要: We examined the gender difference in performance of open-water ultra-swimmers crossing English Channel between 1875 and 2011. A total 1606 swimmers (1120 males 486 females) crossed within a mean time 809.6 ± 175.6 min. The overall female swim 796.3 ± 188.7 min was not different compared with male 815.4 ± 169.4 min (P > 0.05). fastest ever 417 min 6.7% faster than 445 min. top three times 8.9 ± 2.3%. Over last 36 years, annual showed no changes for both females males. (564.3 ± 63.8 min) were significantly (602.1 ± 58.7 min; P < 0.01). remained unchanged at 12.5 ± 9.6% over years. To summarize, ∼12% It seems unlikely that will overtop near future Channel.
