Současný přístup k hodnocení talentů pro krátký triatlon v České republice
The current approach to evaluation of talented athletes for short triathlon in the Czech Republic

Summary/Abstract: The article presents new findings regarding the evaluation system of talent prerequisites for short triathlon in the pre-peak period, i.e. in junior category (18 – 19 years). We present the current battery of tests and three case studies that bring the possibility of data interpretation. For the evaluation, we used standards (T-points) for individual tests, which illustrate intra- and interindividual differences with respect to a given model – the norm. We found out that a below-average result reached in one of the tested areas cannot be compensated by any above-average result in another area. The most important issue for the assessment of future performance in triathlon is to find the lower limit of 45 T-points, rather than achieving the highest level in some of the tests.
