Article Abstract:
Research demonstrates that the metabolic load during swimming greatly influence the subsequent cycling performance during a sprint triathlon. Data indicate that decreasing swimming relative intensity leads to higher efficiency during subsequent cycling. Together, results point out to the relative importance of swimming condition and drafting during the swimming portion of a sprint triathlon.
