- The study monitored 50 elite Australian triathletes over four years (2018-2021) to determine how common injuries were and their impact on training and competition.
- A total of 266 injuries were reported, with 92% of athletes affected; most injuries (70.7%) occurred during training, and bone stress injuries (BSIs) were particularly burdensome.
- Female triathletes experienced BSIs at a rate three times higher than males, highlighting the need for targeted injury prevention strategies for women in the sport.*
