Ordinary Age Grading
Select the event (or enter the distance), 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.
Result Preditiction
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.
Data Entry
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 metres, with or without decimal
places.
This calculator uses the 2006 Age-grading factors - see: Master's track website.
Just ignore the input field for Sprints, Hursdles, Walks, Throws and Jumps
