Applied Demography: Sports demography
Original language description
This paper briefly introduces selected demographic methods and their application in sports, especially in athletics. Survival analysis is mainly used for calculations. Analysis is applied to data corresponding with the length of the TOP sports career rather than length of life of the individual. This means life tables showing the length of the TOP careers of men and women in various disciplines. The analysis showed that women reach the TOP career at a younger age than men. The results of survival function confirmed that the performance of men and women in various age groups and in individual disciplines are different. The TOP careers of individual groups also differ in expected duration. The assumption about the impact of the annual period in which the athlete was born at the length of the TOP career was not confirmed. The results achieved have confirmed that the methods of demographic analysis are applicable in the field of sports.
