METHOD FOR PREDICTION OF ACHIEVING MAXIMUM RATES OF RUNNERS Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC A61B5/02 A61B5/107 A61B5/11 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to sports medicine, sports, physiology and may be used for estimation and selection of promising runners. A table of dynamic, physiological and sports rates of high-score runners with various anthropometric data such as leg length from an axis of hip joint to a bearing surface on a sole together with a thickness of sports footwear sole, running speed, minimum and maximum step length, minimum and maximum heart rate are pre-formed during running. Then the examined sportsman is initiated to run for a preset distance to determine total pulse - F_Σ and a number of the steps - N_s. It is followed by calculating a movement amount coefficient B_calc by formula B_calc = N_s/F_Σ, and the formed table is used to find a nearest value of movement amount B_tabl among similar values that is used to derive a tabulated speed of the examined sportsman U_tabl. Further, a maximum possible speed of the sportsman - V_max is derived by multiplication of V_tabl, B_calc and B_tabl. (V_max = V_tabl x B_tabl x B_calc).

EFFECT: method provides high information value concerning a runner, the potential maximum values of his sports rates.
