Physiological requirements in triathlon
Abstract
This article aims to present the current knowledge on physiological requirements in Olympic distance and Ironman triathlon. Showing the data available from a “traditional point of view” (aerobic power, anaerobic threshold, heart rate, running economy) and from a “contemporary” point of view (V̇O2 kinetics), it emphasises where we are currently and the areas that remain unknown.
