The link that has been established between pedagogy and didactics with sports development has allowed facing the challenges compelled by the modern sports scenario. We have to deepen in the knowledge of the different sports modalities for a better use of every result coming from this relationship. Such knowledge can only be acquired through practical study of competitive activity. In this research, a functional and structural study of the competitive activity in the Sprint triathlon was carried out. More than 4000 data obtained from youth competitions were analyzed to achieve this. The percentage corresponding to each segment was analyzed with respect to the total distance and the value of ratio by segment was calculated with respect to the total triathlon time. All information was processed using the IBM SPSS 24 program. Results showed that the highest percent of the distance corresponds to cycling and running segments. Concerning rates, they showed similar values in the different events allowing defining them by ranges, with upper and lower limit values and their average value.

Keywords : Triathlon; Sprint; competitive activity.
