Abstract
Triathlon consists of swimming, cycling, and running. Due to the large volume of training required, athlete injury may be the result of mechanical or physiological insult. Overuse injuries are common, as are traumatic injuries. However, athletes may also suffer physiological injury as a result of overwhelming the homeostatic mechanisms of the body. Many injuries can be avoided through appropriate planning in both the short and long term, termed periodization.
