Abstract

Nine male triathletes (68.0 ± 2.0 mL·kg-1·min-1, 25 ± 1.9 years, 68.3 ± 2.2 kg, 177.4 ± 2.2 cm), performed an incremental maximal cycle exercise test on three separate occasions corresponding to the start of the season, pre-competitive period, and competitive period. Maximal oxygen uptake and ventilatory thresholds (aerobic and anaerobic respectively) were assessed in each visit. Despite changes in the distribution of training among disciplines, total training time, training time per week, and intensity of the training, maximal power output, maximal oxygen uptake, submaximal heart rate, and lactate concentration remained stable throughout the season. Due to the stability displayed by the heart rate ventilatory thresholds relationship in our sample, we conclude that a single laboratory testing at the start of the season could be enough to prescribe training intensities (at least for cycling) based on heart rate zones in highly trained triathletes. These results should be compared in future studies with longer samples in order to be generalised.
