These protocols were developed after extensive research and wide consultation by MARK ALEXANDER, PETER BLANCH, JUDITH MAY AND BRAD HISKINS with input from many other sports medicine professionals across Australia.

It is recommended that all Junior, Under 23 and Elite athletes at State and National level be screened using these protocols.

Screening professionals working with Triathlon Australia programs, SIS/SAS/AIS programs and State Triathlon Association Junior development programs are welcome to use these protocols and screening forms.

Others should contact MARK ALEXANDER and TRIATHLON AUSTRALIA for permission.

These protocols are in force immediately and likely to be reviewed late 2006.

Mark and Dr Judith May have also recently developed a PRE MEDICAL / PHYSIO screening QUESTIONNAIRE -
