PURPOSE: Warming up before competition is universally recognized as an effective way to enhance performance. However, only a few articles have directly investigated different warm-up strategies adopted by triathletes and suggested by coaches. The Olympic-distance triathlon is an endurance competition characterized, at least for the elite, by a fast start with a strong correlation to the final position in the race. Thus, executing a proper warm-up protocol would be beneficial in optimizing performance. The present study aimed to provide an overview of the warm-up protocol adopted/suggested by national-caliber triathletes/coaches before an Olympic-distance triathlon race.
METHODS: Online surveys were created and shared between national- and international-caliber Italian, French, and Spanish triathletes and coaches. Information about the rationale, structure, and specific exercises adopted/suggested during personal warm-up protocols was collected. Thereafter, triathletes were grouped according to the discipline sequence reported.
RESULTS: Seventy-nine triathletes and nineteen coaches completed the survey. The cycle-run-swim was the most reported discipline sequence adopted, with a total time of 90.0 (25.0) minutes, against the 62.5 (25.0) minutes suggested by coaches. Conditioning exercises were performed by only 31.6% of triathletes 20 to 10 minutes before the race start.
CONCLUSIONS: Triathletes who took part in this survey adopted very long protocols with the specific intention of including all disciplines. These results highlight the need to raise awareness in triathletes and coaches on the correct warm-up procedures and to stimulate researchers to design studies that directly investigate the effects of different warm-up protocols before competitions.
