World Masters Athletics
Age-grading calculator
For runners, it's as simple as typing in your
age, and your time, and selecting the distance. The calculator will then display
you "Age graded" result, which is based on a comparison to the world
record for your age at that distance.
Select the event, enter your details and
result, then press Age-grade to lookup the WMA
factor This factor is used to calculate an age-graded result, which can be
compared with athletes of different ages.
Also shown are the Open and age-graded
standards set by WMA, and from these, your age-performance as a % of the Age std
is calculated. This can now be compared between different events.
Pressing Result will calculate your
result for a given age-performance - e.g. use your age-performance in one event
to predict a different event or the same event at a different age.
Times can be entered as hh:mm:ss.dd - if no
colon is supplied it will be taken as seconds; only one colon will be
interpreted as mm:ss. The decimal seconds (dd) are not required. Distances and
heights can be entered in meters, with or without decimal places.
