Triathlon · Level 4

Intermediate

5 sub-levels · 50 tests · 500 facts · updated 12 October 2026

Level 4 moves from performing each discipline to understanding it: the biomechanics behind the stroke, the pedal stroke and the running gait, the data and technology that quantify training, and the psychology that decides races once the body is trained.

Sub-levels

Sub-level 4.1Swim Biomechanics and Stroke AnalysisMoves past learning the stroke to analysing it: what the catch, body rotation, kick and stroke-rate data actually do mechanically, and how to recognise and fix the faults that quietly cost speed.10 tests · 100 factsSub-level 4.2Cycling Biomechanics and Bike FitThe pedal stroke's real force pattern, cadence and force trade-offs, how saddle/cockpit/cleat fit shapes joint angles and power transfer, common fit-related injuries, and what makes triathlon bike fit its own…10 tests · 100 factsSub-level 4.3Running Biomechanics and GaitGround contact time, cadence and step length, vertical oscillation, footstrike patterns, overstriding, arm swing, hip and pelvis stability, what running economy actually measures, and the specific gait shift…10 tests · 100 factsSub-level 4.4Data and Technology in TrainingWhat power meters, heart rate, GPS pace and HRV actually measure and where each falls short, how TSS/CTL/ATL and periodisation frame a training plan, the pitfalls of data overload, and what changes when three…10 tests · 100 factsSub-level 4.5Psychology and Mental PerformancePre-race anxiety and arousal, visualization, self-talk, arousal regulation, focus styles, discomfort tolerance, decision-making under fatigue, self-efficacy, and the mental demands specific to triathlon's…10 tests · 100 facts
