“…The "open" concept, which has multiple interpretations, and all from different fields of expertise, is about what happens during the "transition", and has made for various studies including: quick transaction and analysis of transition time; the lost time in T1 & T2 (Cejuela et al, 2008(Cejuela et al, , 2011; the effects swimming intensity on subsequent cycling performance (Peeling et al, 2005;Bentley et al, 2007); effect of cycling intensity (Hausswirth et al, 2001;Bernard et al, 2007); physiological and biomechanical adaptations to the cycle to run transition (Sleivert and Rowlands, 1996;Hue et al, 1998;Diaz Molina et al, 2009;Daniel et al, 2011); strategy swimming pace (Chatard et al,1998;Delextrat et al, 2003;Commotto et al, 2011;Rivas Feal, 2011); analysis of performance factors in sprint distance ; competitive performance of elite olympic-distance triathletes (Paton and Hopkins, 2005); temporal activity in particular segments and transitions (Cejuela et al, 2013);change in neuromuscular control, running kinematics, muscle recruitment or motor coordination after cycling (Chapman et al, 2008;Chapman et al, 2009;Cala et al, 2009;Bonacci et al, 2010aBonacci et al, , 2010b Bonacci et al, 2011a;Bonacci et al, 2011b); rating of perceived exertion during cycling and subsequent running economy in triathletes (Bonacci et al, 2013) As seen, it seems that researchers address the T1 (or T2) as cardiorespiratory, physiological, metabolic, neuromuscular control problems, or a waste of time, and their influence on the final result, without considering that the simple act of how triathletes mount a bike can determine their end performance (loss of group). On one hand, it is a matter of skill, and on the other hand, choosing the appropriate way depending on the circumstances or the situation in the transition area and the judge's line.…”
