The benefit of Athlete Self-Report Measures (ASRM) to athletes has been highlighted once again by some of the leading experts in Sports Science. Anna E Saw (Centre for Sport Research (CSR), Deakin University, Australia), Luana C Main (Institute for Physical Activity and Nutrition (IPAN), Deakin University, Australia), Sam Robertson (Institute of Sport, Exercise and Active Living (ISEAL), Victoria University, Australia) and Paul B Gastin (Centre for Sport Research (CSR), Deakin University, Australia), have recently published a report entitled Athlete Self-Report Measure Use and Associated Psychological Alterations which will be of huge interest to those involved in sport, particularly at elite level, as it findings suggest that the use of an ASRM may increase an athlete’s self-awareness, satisfaction, motivation, and confidence. Another significant factor is that while the study was strictly independent, it used the Metrifit system to carry out its analysis. The authors highlight the fact that monitoring behavior helps improve future behavior and increase motivation, through the following benefits:-

Increased self awareness

Not only does the data collected increase an athlete’s self-awareness, but this is something that is enhanced by the very intention to engage with the process of self-reporting. The study quotes one athlete who states:

An ASRM lets you reflect on yourself at that moment. You actually have to think about what you’re doing, and all your plans, and how you’re actually treating your body

Evaluation

The authors point out that using ASRM will help an athlete to identify the things they do well along with the things they don’t do well, adding that evaluation of behaviors and well being against goals and personal standards will determine the degree of satisfaction an athlete has for their current preparation. According to one athlete’s response

When I see how much I have done, I commend myself for my efforts. This is important as it helps me stay positive

Motivation

An athlete’s motivation can be stimulated by this level of satisfaction, and equally they can be motivated by a sense of dissatisfaction if they are not achieving their goals.

Confidence

Self-reporting can inspire confidence in an athlete through the knowledge that they have prepared as best they can and that they have achieved their goals in terms of preparation. As one coach pointed out, this can be a huge source of confidence when it comes to performance.

One of the guys is quite keen to be able to say to himself when he sits on the start line: ‘Have I done everything I possibly could?’. And if he says ‘yes’ every day to that point, then he’s confident to race

Method of study

The basis of the study was to further investigate the belief that the act of completing an ASRM will increase athlete self-awareness and ownership of their preparation which may lead to better training and performance-related behaviors. It was carried out on a total of 396 athletes who completed the baseline measures of which 335 (85%) returned to complete one or more follow-up surveys. Athletes (32.9 ± 14.3 years, 61% male) reported their participation level as recreational (19%) or competing at a club or university (32%), regional (24%), national (19%), or international (6%) level. Using the Metrifit system the athletes evaluated self-awareness, satisfaction, motivation and confidence. Additional factors which may influence compliance and psychological state surveyed at each time point included current training phase (volume, intensity, time to competition), and time lost to injury or illness in the past four weeks, were also taken into consideration.

Benefits to athletes

The authors sum of their findings as follows:

Athletes who use an ASRM to self-monitor their behaviors and perceived well being may experience changes in various psychological indices. In the present study, athletes experienced a temporary decrease in satisfaction and intrinsic motivation following four weeks of ASRM use. This disruption may provide a useful prompt to improve behaviors. Athletes who persisted with ASRM use experienced increased confidence and extrinsic motivation. Increased confidence is a positive predictor of behavior change, supporting the potential for ASRM use to lead to improved training and performance-related behaviors. Novice athletes and those who were instructed to use an ASRM were less responsive to ASRM use. These athletes may still benefit from ASRM use provided they have, or develop, the motivation, knowledge, and skills to use the information gleaned from an ASRM effectively. Practitioners may facilitate this process by supporting the athlete to self-monitor and self-regulate their behaviors. These preliminary findings support a potentially valuable role of athlete self-report measures in psychological well being and self-regulation which warrants further investigation

"We started using Metrifit to see if it gave us better predictability and allowed easier monitoring than our DIY excel sheets prior to the Tokyo qualifiers. In a sport where measuring training load is very difficult, Metrifit filled a huge gap in our ability to monitor our athletes’ performance state and recovery. After some months of collecting data I was able to clearly see when to back off and when to keep going with different aspects of the training programme, as well as when to provide extra care and support for our elite athlete – and without a doubt it is much more informative and sensitive than our DIY model, not to mention much easier! Looking forward to the next Olympic cycle with Metrifit as one of our essential tools."

Fantastic! "

“I have been using Metrifit for the past number of years and I have found it to be an excellent piece of software.  It is extremely easy to use and has proved very beneficial in preparing myself for competition.  The ability to view my health and wellbeing stats everyday and see how this influences my performance in both practice and competition has been very helpful. I have been able to put more effort into key areas such as fluid intake, sleep and balanced golf practice and training. Having the ability to view my detailed stats helps me to understand exactly where I am and how I need to adjust my training or health choices.  I have found using Metrifit this past year has been a crucial help for me to play well. As I now have turned 50 I am playing on The Champions tour in the USA and have played well during my first year. Metrifit has been as important as my golf equipment in achieving that success.”

"Gaelic football is an intermittent high-intensity collision-based field sport requiring high levels of endurance, strength, power, agility, and speed as well as proficiency with gaelic-related skills. These components comprise the training modalities used at the elite level and the monitoring of such a vast range of modalities is central to peak performance. The athlete monitoring tool Metrifit allows us to do this and can keep us one step ahead of our competitors."
"When our players have been only training with the national team Metrifit allows me to liaise very closely with our conditioning coaches to manage load and intensity of training during training camps. I recommend it to anyone who wants an easy to use monitoring system."

"The ability to acutely monitor stress and recovery and make the correct adjustments was critical to our health and performance throughout the NCAA tournament. Metrifit has a very strong educational component. With the information we get, I am able to clearly understand the habits and behaviors of our athletes, and how they may be impacting performance."
