The contribution of equipment (belt, bandages on wrists and knees, bench shirt, overalls) to the sum of triathlon can be assessed by the following figures: in 2014, the world equipment record (in the IPF federation) in the category over 120 kg was 1230 kg (it was set by Carl Ingvar Christensen ); and the bare-knuckle world record in the same category is 978.5 kg (it was set by Jezz Wep).

A simple proportion 1230/978.5=1.257 shows us that equipment gives an increase of about 25%!
