In total, 532 questionnaires were distributed and 529 returned were valid. Content validity, predictive validity, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used to verify the triathlon identification scale including four dimensions: importance and meaning, understanding and concern, self-expression, and self-esteem and achievement. Criterion validity showed that the verbal triathlon identification scale correlated positively with sport capacity in triathlon and with a graphic scale for the measurement of the identification. The major factors influencing the triathlon participation were individual sport capacity, peers, and time.
