From the roots of cross training to the rigorous worldwide events, triathlon has become a means for physical conditioning, competition and socialization that is adaptable to everyone with a desire and commitment to participate. The novelty of athletes with limb loss competing alongside able-bodied has passed. The current expectation is that sport, including triathlon, is well within the reach of any amputee athlete with the physical ability and determination to compete. Commitment by the clinical team to the amputee athlete along with the systematic practice of prosthetic fitting, sport-specific training and accurate record keeping will not only assist today's athletes, but will establish the foundation for future amputee triathletes. This article outlines the prosthetic and training consideration for clinicians working with novice and intermediate amputee triathletes or those interested in swimming, cycling and running. In addition, prosthetic fitting and component selection and race day strategies is discussed.
从交叉训练的根源到世界各地的严格赛事，铁人三项已成为一种身体锻炼、竞赛和社交的方式，适合任何有参与意愿和决心的人。肢体残疾运动员与健全运动员同场竞技的新奇感已经过去。目前的期望是，包括铁人三项在内的任何运动，对于任何有身体能力和竞争决心的截肢运动员来说都是可以企及的。临床团队对截肢运动员的支持，以及假肢装配、专项运动训练和准确记录的系统实践，不仅将帮助当今的运动员，还将为未来的截肢铁人三项运动员奠定基础。本文概述了临床医生在为新手和中级截肢铁人三项运动员或对游泳、骑自行车和跑步感兴趣的人提供服务时，在假肢和训练方面的考虑因素。此外，还讨论了假肢装配和部件选择以及比赛日策略。
