Sports demography: Demographic analysis applied to populations of athletes

Original language description

This poster briefly introduces selected demographic methods and their application in sports, especially in athletics. The data analysed are on the length of a 'top' sports career rather than on the length of an individual's life. In this poster, 'top career' refers to the period of an athlete's career peak, when athletes give their peak athletic performance. The results of this analysis confirmed that the performance of men and women in individual disciplines are different and the expected duration of their careers as top athletes in individual disciplines also differs. The results basically represent an introduction to sports demography and confirm the applicability of the methods of demographic analysis in this field.
