\nIronman, “triatlonul oamenilor de o\u0163el”, \u00eei supune pe concuren\u0163i la ni\u015fte probe deosebit de dificile: ace\u015ftia trebuie s\u0103 \u00eenoate pe o distan\u0163\u0103 de 3,86 kilometri, s\u0103 parcurg\u0103 apoi 180 de kilometri cu bicicleta \u015fi s\u0103 \u00eencheie cu un maraton, neav\u00e2nd voie s\u0103 fac\u0103 pauz\u0103 \u00eentre etape. Cum progresul tehnologic nu a ocolit nici sporturile, oameni obi\u015fnui\u0163i care alt\u0103dat\u0103 ar fi f\u0103cut parte din public se pot ast\u0103zi antrena suficient c\u00e2t s\u0103 poat\u0103 participa la competi\u0163ii de genul Ironman.<\/p>\n
\nA\u015fa se face c\u0103, spre deosebire de alte sporturi unde predomin\u0103 concuren\u0163ii adolescen\u0163i sau cei \u00een jur de 20-25 de ani, media de v\u00e2rst\u0103 a celor ce particip\u0103 la toate probele este de 40 de ani, iar din cei peste 185.000 de participan\u0163i la competi\u0163iile organizate anul trecut de World Triathlon Corp. sub egida Ironman, jum\u0103tate au fost prezen\u0163i pentru prima oar\u0103.<\/p>\n
\n“Arsenalul” tehnologic at\u00e2t pentru \u00eencep\u0103tori, c\u00e2t \u015fi pentru cei cu experien\u0163\u0103 cuprinde echipamente speciale pentru dozarea efortului pe durata competi\u0163iei ori echipamente scumpe care \u00eei ajut\u0103 s\u0103-\u015fi creasc\u0103 viteza de deplasare, ceea ce explic\u0103 de ce competi\u0163iile Ironman sunt c\u0103utate mai ales de oamenii cu resurse financiare apreciabile.<\/p>\n
\nPrintre aceste echipamente, destinate s\u0103 suplineasc\u0103 lipsa de condi\u0163ie fizic\u0103 a competitorilor \u015fi s\u0103-i fac\u0103 s\u0103 se simt\u0103 campioni, se num\u0103r\u0103 biciclete din fibr\u0103 de carbon, costume speciale de \u00eenot care \u00eembun\u0103t\u0103\u0163esc flotabilitatea ori pantofi speciali pentru alergat. Alte gadgeturi includ aparate pentru monitorizarea ritmului cardiac, a oboselii musculare ori echipamente de compresie muscular\u0103 pentru reducerea timpului de refacere dup\u0103 efort, ce cre\u015fte odat\u0103 cu v\u00e2rsta.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
