Abstract
Triahtlon is an endurance sport consisting of sequential swimming, cycling and running. As in other sports with similar characteristics, maximal aerobic capacity and the possibility to sustain high percentages of maximal oxygen uptake during competition are decisive to be successful. However, triathlon has some peculiarities, and the second transition is a key moment, because the ability to link cycling and running sectors is decisive for performance, as cardiorespiratory response during runing is increased by different factors. Thus, the aim of the present work was to review the explanations that have been considered to justify the specific cardiorespiratoy response during cycling-running succession in triathlon, from cardiovascular and ventilatory drift, to the studies that treat on specific traning adaptations during the second transition.
