AI Article Synopsis
- Triathlon is a multi-discipline sport combining swimming, cycling, and running, requiring specialized skills and training for each segment.
- Triathletes face unique injury risks that differ from single-sport athletes due to factors like bike type and cumulative physical demands.
- Effective injury prevention and treatment strategies must consider individual experiences, previous injuries, and the specific demands of all three triathlon disciplines.
Article Abstract
Triathlon is an increasingly popular sport that includes swimming, cycling, followed by running. The triathlete should not be seen merely as a cyclist who also swims and runs. Notable differences are seen in the type of bike used, training patterns, lower extremity demands, and cumulative nature of the sport. Injury prevention and treatment strategies need to take into account the triathlon distance, the type of bike used, athletic experience, prior injuries, risk factors, and a thorough understanding of the demands placed on the body through all 3 disciplines (swim, bike, and run).
