Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to evaluate the relevance of carrying out a measure of muscular fatigability by isokinetism, in the search for factors favouring micro-traumatic lesions of the lower limbs in a population of triathletes.
This is a prospective monocentric pilot study of the before/after type in which the patient is his or her own control, in high-level triathletes practising an endurance sport, who have had more than 7 consecutive days off running due to a musculoskeletal injury during the previous sporting year.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Having had a practical running break of more than 7 consecutive days due to a musculoskeletal injury of a lower limb during the previous sport year
- •Willing to comply with all study procedures
- •Having given written consent
- •Socially insured
Exclusion Criteria
- •Pain that does not allow an isokinetic test to be performed

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
fatigue index between the injured leg and the healthy leg
Time Frame: the day of inclusion
To compare the fatigue index between the injured leg and the healthy leg in high level triathletes injured in the previous season.
Secondary Outcomes
- difference of the fatigue index to the difference of the Croisier ratio between the injured leg and the healthy leg(the day of inclusion)
