How Can Intrinsic Biomechanics Help
My Performance With Triathlons?

When Competing in Triathlons
Let Intrinsic Biomechanics Up Your
Level of Performance

Triathlon or Iron Man defines itself as an endurance sport, hungry for any and all avenues that lead to more performance.

SWIM-BIKE-RUN. Three very different elements to a very challenging sport. Blood, sweat and tears are invested. Wrinkled fingers and toes, grazed knees and blistered heels are all common side effects of this addictive sport.

Improvements in movement and biomechanics, including the development of optimal positions, motor recruitment patterns and skills, will yield not only a thicker buffer against injuries but huge potential gains in triathlon performance.

Regardless of your level of participation, there is a whole lot to think about. Breathing techniques are different for each segment. Holding and maintaining an aero position on the bike. Rules on drafting. Ability to change a tyre. Equipment changes in transition. Gait. Timing consumption of energy gels to avoid bonking. Not to mention the actual determination required to just finish the race. If you fail to optimize your positions, your range of motion and your movement, you will be leaving untapped performance on the table.

Employing an experienced Triathlon Coach is crucial in helping you improve your form, times, nutrition and mental strength.

But what if you are already following all the EXTERNAL biomechanical advice, and are still having performance challenges?

  • Do you suffer from cramping in your shoulders while on the bike, forcing you to sit up in the saddle and lose minutes?
  • Do you struggle to swim bilaterally as you just don’t have the rotation in your upper body?
  • Do you have achilles niggles or struggle to find the right comfortable running shoes?
  • Are you able to maintain a strong aero position for extended periods of time?
  • Are you 100% certain your body is not making compromises within itself to allow you to complete your task?

Due to the amount of training required for this sport, it is vital that the triathlete keeps their fitness up and Intrinsic Biomechanics solid. Any dysfunction in the kinetic chain will soon cause muscle compensation and present as pain or injury somewhere in the body.

Pre-care is just as important as post-care in Triathlon. Knowing how the body is working on the inside, allows the Triathlete to prepare the body for the work it's expected to perform. Intrinsic Biomechanics is essential in maintaining symmetry and function of the skeletal, muscular and neural systems.

Consider Intrinsic Biomechanics to help you avoid injury, increase participation longevity and improve race times.
