Analysis of the Performance in the Triathlon
Vol.6,No.1(2012)
The article analyses four sports performance modifications of the triathlon: sprint, short, long and off-road race. Subjects were 30 elite men and were analysed at the finish line of a triathlon. To analysis the relationships in all parts of the triathlon modifications were due to the results of tests of normality using Spearman‘s correlation coefficient. The highest correlation was found between swimming and overall performance at long distance triathlon (0.469); the lowest was in the sprint triathlon. When analysing the relationship between cycling sections, and overall performance was the highest correlation with off -road triathlon (0.802), lowest in a sprint triathlon (-0.046). Analysis of cross-country relations and overall performance parts revealed the highest correlation with long-distance triathlon (1,000), off -road triathlon at the lowest (0.787). It turns out that modifications in the meaning of each part of the overall result are different, although their percentage is similar for all modifications.
