Sentence examples for racing distances from inspiring English sources

Female riders have called for greater levels of equality in the sport in terms of pay (there's no minimum wage for professional female road cyclists), prize money, and in racing distances (women are restricted to 140km a day on the road, compared to men's 280km).

There were trivial differences between men and women in age (p = 0.07), training history (p = 0.23), and personal bests at racing distances between 1 mile and 10 km as represented by IAAF scores [37] (p = 0.82).

However, Spencer et al. [21], amongst others, demonstrated mixed anaerobic/aerobic contributions in different exercise durations (from 20 to 234 s) corresponding to racing distances ranging from 200 to 1,500 m.

The various racing distances on which the horses had performed could only suitably be clustered into: sprint distance (≤1300 m) and non-sprint (>1300 m).

A genome-wide SNP-association study for optimum racing distance was performed using the EquineSNP50 Bead Chip genotyping array in a cohort of n = 118 elite Thoroughbred racehorses divergent for race distance aptitude.

Therefore, we did not further consider NAB1 as a potential major contributor to variation in optimum racing distance.

The best racing distance (BRD) was significantly different between the homozygotes of each SNP (p = 0.01 to 0.03).

We performed parallel association tests for the same set of samples to evaluate the relative performance of the two polymorphisms as predictors of optimum racing distance.

We have previously described an association between optimum racing distance and a SNP (g.66493737C>T) in the equine MSTN gene in Thoroughbred Flat racehorses [ 6].

Another study using GWAS with SNPs confirmed a variant in the equine myostatin gene as a predictor of racing distance in thoroughbreds.
