Swimming, cycling, running - we have the right neoprene braces & sleeves
The endurance sport of triathlon includes the strenuous disciplines of swimming, cycling and running. The disciplines have to be completed in exactly this order and in the shortest possible time. For your body this means an enormous strain. Especially the run after the cycling is difficult, because the leg muscles are already heavily stressed from the cycling. Intensive training is mandatory to increase your endurance and prepare your body as well as possible. If you take training seriously, you reduce the risk of suffering a sports injury during a triathlon. Additional protection against injuries can give you triathlon sports supports from Rehband.
Triathlon specific injuries
The endurance sport triathlon strengthens the immune system and increases well-being. Beginners and advanced athletes love the physical challenge. But as with any other sport, sports injuries occur time and again in triathlon. Amateur athletes are just as at risk as professional athletes. Triathlon-specific injuries mostly affect the extremities, but the back is often affected as well. The most common cause of injuries in these areas is overuse. Accidents and incorrect posture are added causes. Fatigue fractures, muscle and ligament strains, inflammation in the Achilles tendon and pain in the knee or ankle joint can be the unpleasant result.
