  • Abstract
    World track records (WTR) can be fitted with a Zipf–Mandelbrot scaling law. Metabolic energy balances are used to describe the energy release dynamics during a race. It is shown that several hierarchical relaxation processes related to metabolic mechanisms can explain the power-law behavior of WTR.
