This study uses data on men's track and field and road racing records by age to estimate the rate at which men slow down with age. For most of the running events (400 meters through the half marathon), the slowdown rate per year is estimated to be .80 percent between ages 35 and 51. At age 51 the rate begins to increase. It is 1.04 percent at age 60, 1.46 percent at age 75, and 2.01 percent at age 95. The slowdown rate is smaller for 100 meters. For the events longer than the half marathon, the rate is smaller through about age 60 and then larger after that. The slowdown rate is generally larger at all ages for the field events. Table 2 shows that the age-factors in Masters Age-Graded Tables are excessively variable and biased against older runners. Tables 3 and 5 present the age-factors implied by this study. These tables can be used to estimate one's projected time or distance by age. They can also be used by race officials for age-graded events. A brief comparison of the present results to results in the physiological literature is also presented in this paper. The main estimation technique used is a combination of the polynomialspline method and the frontier-function method. A number of the events have been pooled to provide more efficient estimates.

La 4e de couverture indique : "L'identité en marche - Les ouvrages sont peu nombreux qui mettent en lien le sport et la psychanalyse et notamment ceux qui concernent les sportifs d'endurance. Or, la communauté des sportifs d'endurance ne cesse de croître en France. Pour preuve, les nouveaux runners, trailers et triathlètes qui grossissent les rangs des participants aux compétitions. Il était donc temps de s'intéresser à cet axe de recherche. C'est ce que propose Florence Puklavec, l'auteure de cet essai, psychanalyste et marathonienne, en prenant comme base une enquête qualitative auprès de sportifs de tout niveau qui lui ont communiqué leur vécu. Elle nous fait part de sa réflexion de manière concrète et documentée sur le sujet de la quête d'identité à travers le sport. Cet essai met en lumière les pulsions et les raisons qui amènent une personne à pratiquer un sport mettant à rude épreuve, pendant plusieurs heures, la résistance de son organisme mais aussi la force de son psychisme en vue d'une participation réussie, voire d'un exploit reconnu par la communauté et applaudi par les conjoints, parents et amis. Le regard psychanalytique de l'auteure porté sur la pratique sportive d'endurance apporte un éclairage inédit sur les mouvements psychiques liés au cadre d'exercice, au plaisir du sport, à l'angoisse de la compétition, à l'estime de soi et au cheminement vers l'identité. Sans angélisme, l'addiction sportive et le dopage y sont également abordés démontrant la fine frontière entre la satisfaction procurée par la pratique dont le corps fait limite et la suture de la division du sujet à ce corps asservi. Cet ouvrage s'adresse à la communauté des sportifs d'endurance et à leurs proches, aux entraîneurs, aux enseignants des disciplines sportives et de manière plus large à tout public intéressé par la psychologie du sport et, bien sûr, à la communauté psychanalytique".
