Optimization of Swimming Performance in Triathlon
نویسندگان
چکیده
Despite the variation in swimming performance of elite triathletes is generally small, longitudinal observations of swimming performance in the top 20 elite triathletes in the world compared to that of the remaining field indicate that swimming performance is crucial at Olympic distance triathlon at elite level (Bentley et al., 2008). Therefore, researches that addresses optimization of swim performance in triathlon is of paramount importance in order to improve results.

The aspect of experience in ultra-triathlon races
Previous experience seems to be an important predictor for endurance and ultra-endurance performance. The present study investigated whether the number of previously completed races and/or the personal best times in shorter races is more predictive for performance in longer non-stop ultra-triathlons such as a Deca Iron ultra-triathlon. All female and male ultra-triathletes who had finished betw...
متن کاملAnalysis of ultra-triathlon performances
Despite increased interest in ultra-endurance events, little research has examined ultra-triathlon performance. The aims of this study were: (i) to compare swimming, cycling, running, and overall performances in three ultra-distance triathlons, double Ironman distance triathlon (2IMT) (7.6 km swimming, 360 km cycling, and 84.4 km running), triple Ironman distance triathlon (3IMT) (11.4 km, 540 ...
متن کاملPerformance and sex difference in ultra-triathlon performance from Ironman to Double Deca Iron ultra-triathlon between 1978 and 2013
It was assumed that women would be able to outperform men in ultra-marathon running. The present study investigated the sex difference in performance for all ultra-triathlon distances from the Ironman distance (i.e. 3.8 km swimming, 180 km cycling and 42 km running) in the 'Ironman Hawaii' to the Double Deca Iron ultra-triathlon distance (i.e. 76 km swimming, 3,600 km cycling and 840 km running...
متن کاملTrends in Triathlon Performance: Effects of Sex and Age.
The influences of sex and age upon endurance performance have previously been documented for both running and swimming. A number of recent studies have investigated how sex and age influence triathlon performance, a sport that combines three disciplines (swimming, cycling and running), with competitions commonly lasting between 2 (short distance: 1.5-km swim, 40-km cycle and 10-km run) and 8 h ...
متن کاملWhat predicts performance in ultra-triathlon races? – a comparison between Ironman distance triathlon and ultra-triathlon
OBJECTIVE This narrative review summarizes recent intentions to find potential predictor variables for ultra-triathlon race performance (ie, triathlon races longer than the Ironman distance covering 3.8 km swimming, 180 km cycling, and 42.195 km running). Results from studies on ultra-triathletes were compared to results on studies on Ironman triathletes. METHODS A literature search was perfo...
