Why the study?
The study was conducted to analyze changes in cardiorespiratory and physiological measurements during practice that determine triathletes' performance levels.
Does training improve cardiorespiratory and physiological measurements in triathletes?
Does training improve cardiorespiratory and physiological measurements in triathletes?
Cardiorespiratory fitness, specifically max and ventilatory thresholds, is the strongest predictor of performance in triathlon.
Null effect on max; leaves open whether training improves triathlete cardiorespiratory performance.
max). OBJECTIVE: to analyze the changes produced in cardiorespiratory and physiological measurements during practice, which determine triathletes' performance level. A systematic review and a meta-analysis based on PRISMA protocol and registered in PROSPERO (CRD42020189076) was conducted. The research was performed using PubMed, SPORTDiscus, Embase, Dialnet, Web of Science (WOS) and MEDLINE databases during February and March 2020. Studies that measured cardiorespiratory variables in triathletes published in the last 10 years were included. RESULTS: max in triathletes' performance [SMD = -0.21; 95%CI: (-0.84 to 0.43)]. CONCLUSIONS: max and ventilatory thresholds, is the strongest predictor of performance in triathlon. This response may be affected depending on the triathlon segment performed and the athlete's age or sex, leading to both physiological and biomechanical alterations that affect competition performance.
