Abstract

Ovaj diplomski rad istraţuje utjecaj pojedinih segmenata triatlona na plasman u triatlonskim utrkama na Olimpijskim igrama od 2000. do 2021. godine. Triatlon je sve popularniji sport koji se sastoji od plivanja, biciklizma i trčanja. Olimpijske igre predstavljaju vrhunac triatlonskog natjecanja u kojemu najbolji sportaši iz cijelog svijeta pokazuju svoje vještine i izdrţljivost. Cilj je ovog istraţivanja analizirati utjecaj svakog segmenta triatlona na konačan plasman sportaša na Olimpijskim igrama. Kroz analizu rezultata natjecanja od 2000. do 2021. godine istraţila se povezanost izmeĎu vremena ostvarenog u svakom segmentu i konačnog plasmana. Metodologija istraţivanja uključuje prikupljanje podataka o vremenima sportaša u svakom segmentu triatlona s Olimpijskih igara tijekom navedena razdoblja. Podaci su analizirani statističkim metodama kako bi se utvrdila povezanost izmeĎu rezultata u pojedinim segmentima i konačnog plasmana. Rezultati istraţivanja prikazani su u obliku tablica i slika na temelju statističkih analiza. Regresijskom analizom utvrĎen je najveći utjecaj trkačkoga segmenta na rezultat u muškaraca i u ţena, dok je razlika u rezultatu izmeĎu muških i ţenskih utrka na temelju analize varijance (ANOVA) pokazala statistički značajnu razliku u svim segmentima osim prve tranzicije. TakoĎer se raspravljalo o mogućim faktorima koji mogu utjecati na rezultate triatlona na Olimpijskim igrama, kao što su uvjeti trase, meteorološki uvjeti i kondicija sportaša. Konačno, u zaključku su sumirani glavni nalazi istraţivanja koji ukazuju na najveću povezanost trkačkog segmenta utrke na finalni plasman. Ovaj diplomski rad pruţit će uvid u specifične aspekte triatlona kao olimpijske discipline te pomoći trenerima i sportašima u boljem razumijevanju ključnih segmenata triatlona i njihova utjecaja na natjecateljski uspjeh.

Abstract (english)

This master's thesis explores the influence of individual segments of the triathlon on athletes' placements in triathlon races at the Olympic Games from 2000 to 2021. Triathlon is becoming an increasingly popular sport, consisting of swimming, cycling, and running. The Olympic Games represent the pinnacle of triathlon competition, where the best athletes from around the world showcase their skills and endurance. The aim of this research is to analyze the impact of each triathlon segment on the athletes' final placements at the Olympic Games. Through an analysis of competition results from 2000 to 2021, the correlation between the times achieved in each segment and the final placements was investigated. The research methodology involved collecting data on athletes' times in each triathlon segment at the Olympic Games during the specified period. The data were analyzed using statistical methods to determine the relationship between results in individual segments and the final placements. The research results are presented in the form of tables based on statistical analyses. Regression analysis identified the greatest impact of the running segment on results for both men and women, while the analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed statistically significant differences in results between men and women in all segments except the first transition. The discussion focused on interpreting the results and drawing conclusions from the research. Possible factors that could influence triathlon results at the Olympic Games, such as course conditions, weather conditions, and athletes' conditioning, were also discussed. Finally, the conclusion summarized the main findings of the research, highlighting the significant influence of the running segment on the final placement. This master's thesis provides insight into the specific aspects of triathlon as an Olympic discipline and assists coaches and athletes in better understanding the key segments of triathlon and their impact on competitive success.
