Abstract

The Super-Marathon Run from Beijing to Hong Kong covers about 3,000 kilometres in 55 days - an equivalent of approximately 70 consecutive Marathons. The run was performed by one man. There have been records of even longer distances covered by runners, but as yet no medical study has been conducted to unveil the hitherto mysteries of the bodys physiological endurance. The main objective of this study is to explore the physiological changes in the cardio-pulmonary and musculo-skeletal systems, the bodys demand in fluid and nutrition and the emotional and psychological adjustment.
