The three sports…

Triathlon is a multi-sport activity that is performed either alone or in a team, continuously and without breaks. It combines the three most popular and easiest sports to practice in today’s developed societies: swimming, cycling, and running. This sport combines the individual athletic abilities from the three disciplines and requires athletes to meet a variety of demands and skills. In addition to the numerous physical abilities required for fitness (strength, speed, endurance, agility, etc.), cognitive (perceptual speed, spatial awareness, etc.) and social skills (adaptability, assertiveness, personal responsibility, decision-making ability, flexibility, goal-oriented action, etc.) are of enormous importance for practicing this sport.

Practicing this international sport presents athletes with numerous challenges in terms of location, time, personnel, energy, etc.
