We had been following this athlete from 2008, which was at the point in time, where the participant started with triathlon training (T0DXA, Figure 1). The last measurement point in time (T4) occurred five months after resuming the pre-surgery training routine, i.e. 9 months after the surgical intervention (Figure 1).
