Research On The Structure Characteristics Of Chinese Elite Female Triathletes’ Performance

Competitive sports have developed rapidly in China because of the strategy of sports power and the Olympic glory plan.Triathlon as one of the official Olympic events entered in China in the 1980s.After the initial development stage and the standardized development stage,the development of triathlon in China is currently in a stage of rapid development,domestic provinces and cities pay more attention to triathlon.However,the development of competitive triathlon is relatively slow.After the triathlon became the official event of the Olympic Games in 2000,some provinces and cities in China gradually established professional teams.This study aims to find of the structure characteristics of elite female triathletes’ performance in China,find out the difference between Chinese elite female triathletes and world elite female triathletes,so that it can provide new training ideas and direction for triathlons and coaches,and lay a foundation for the sustainable development of triathlon.Based on the literature method and expert interview method,this study uses mathematical statistics to analyze the relationship between the Chinese elite female triathletes’ overall race time and split times,and the interaction relationship between each discipline.The comparative analysis method is to analyze the similarities and differences of the performance characteristics of Chinese elite female triathletes and world outstanding female triathletes.The results of the research are as follows:①The structure characteristics of Chinese elite female triathletes performance with unbalance,instability and diversity;②The ranking of the correlation degree between the overall race time and each discipline:cycling>running>T2;③The structure characteristics of Chinese elite female triathletes performance is various in different events and in different periods;cycling is the highest correlated to overall race time,the percentage of swimming is middle correlated to overall race time.there is negatively high correlation between percentage of cycling and running performance;④Compared to the world elite female triathletes’ performance,the overall race time of Chinese elite female triathletes are less related to the percentage of swimming and transition performances,are more related to the percentage of cycling;and the overall race time of Chinese elite female triathletes are more likely to be affected by cycling performance.This study is based on the analysis of the performance structure characteristics of Chinese elite female triathletes.The overall race time of the elite female triathletes in China are most closely related to the cycling performance.It is recommended that triathletes and coaches focus on the athletes’ cycling performance when making competition packing and training plan.At the same time,Chinese female triathletes could increase running and cycling-running training,improve swimming and transition technology for narrowing the gap with the world’s elite triathletes.
