Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare overall performance and performance within the individual disciplines (e.g., swim) in elite paratriathlon between the ambulatory classes PTS2-5 in men and women.

Design: Data were acquired from the official results of 31 International paratriathlon competitions between 2018 and 2021. 1094 results (men N = 774; women N = 320) were analyzed. One-way analysis of variance was used to compare overall performance time, absolute time spent in each discipline, and percentage of performance time spent in each discipline between sports classes. Pearson's correlation between segment times and overall times were explored.

Results: Overall time was significantly quicker in PTS5 than PTS4 and PTS3 (p < 0.05), and between PTS4 and PTS3 (p < 0.05), but no differences were found between PTS3 and PTS2. PTS5 was also quicker than PTS4 and PTS3 (p < 0.05) across most of the individual discipline times. Cycling comprised the highest percentage of race time in all classes (47.1-49.6%) and was strongly correlated to overall performance (r = 0.72-0.91).

Conclusion: Hierarchy in performance times was demonstrated between the less impaired paratriathlon classes, but not between the most impaired PTS2 and PTS3 classes. It may be appropriate for PTS2 and PTS3 to compete together.

有身体缺陷的非卧床精英运动员的准铁人三项比赛成绩。

目的：本研究的目的是比较男子和女子残疾人精英铁人三项运动的总体成绩和单项成绩（如游泳）：本研究的目的是比较男子和女子PTS2-5伏卧级别精英残疾人铁人三项的总体成绩和单项成绩（如游泳）：数据来自 2018 年至 2021 年间 31 场国际残疾人铁人三项比赛的官方成绩。分析了 1094 项成绩（男子 N = 774；女子 N = 320）。采用单因素方差分析来比较各运动级别之间的总体成绩时间、各项目所用的绝对时间以及各项目所用成绩时间的百分比。研究了分段时间与总时间之间的皮尔逊相关性：PTS5的总时间明显快于PTS4和PTS3（P＜0.05），PTS4和PTS3之间的总时间也明显快于PTS4和PTS3（P＜0.05），但PTS3和PTS2之间没有差异。在大多数单项比赛中，PTS5 也比 PTS4 和 PTS3 快（p < 0.05）。在所有级别的比赛中，自行车比赛时间所占比例最高（47.1%-49.6%），并且与总成绩密切相关（r = 0.72-0.91）：结论：在能力受损较轻的残疾人三项全能级别之间，成绩时间呈现出层次性，但在能力受损最严重的 PTS2 和 PTS3 级别之间则没有表现出这种层次性。PTS2和PTS3可能适合一起比赛。

期刊介绍： American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation focuses on the practice, research and educational aspects of physical medicine and rehabilitation. Monthly issues keep physiatrists up-to-date on the optimal functional restoration of patients with disabilities, physical treatment of neuromuscular impairments, the development of new rehabilitative technologies, and the use of electrodiagnostic studies. The Journal publishes cutting-edge basic and clinical research, clinical case reports and in-depth topical reviews of interest to rehabilitation professionals. Topics include prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal conditions, brain injury, spinal cord injury, cardiopulmonary disease, trauma, acute and chronic pain, amputation, prosthetics and orthotics, mobility, gait, and pediatrics as well as areas related to education and administration. Other important areas of interest include cancer rehabilitation, aging, and exercise. The Journal has recently published a series of articles on the topic of outcomes research. This well-established journal is the official scholarly publication of the Association of Academic Physiatrists (AAP).
