Abstract and keywords
Abstract:
In this work a comparative analysis of the dynamics of changes in the average age of medalists of the Olympic Games and World Championships in relay races 4*100 m and 4*400 m in the period from 1896 to 2022 years was carried out. The results of the study revealed general trends in the increase in the age indicators of medalists in both types of relay race programs over the past 50 years - for men on average by 1.6 years, for women by 3.1 years. At the same time, the average age of women until the mid-1980s was lower, however, having a more significant increase in dynamics, in the 21st century it consistently exceeds the age of men by more than 0.5 years. A number of factors that reflect the general trends in the development of athletics in the world, such as the improvement of a multi-year phased training system, the experience of athletes, material incentives, influence the increase in age indicators in relay running
