Trends in Triathlon Performance: Effects of Sex and Age In the magazine ‘Sports Medicine’, we have published a review article on the aspect of the influence of age and gender to performance in the triathlon. The most important findings are: the proportion of women and older participants (> 40 years old) has increased over the years, the difference between men and women is smaller than in cycling and running, the power density in the top ten has increased significantly,With increasing age, the performance of cycling takes less quickly than swimming and running and the older participants have significantly improved their performance on the Ironman route in recent years.
