“…The nature of self-report removes personal and locational barriers to communication, encouraging greater disclosure of potentially relevant information to staff. Such disclosure has been quantified amongst professional athletes who reported 96% of illness to an online measure compared to only 19% reported to staff in-person (8). Disclosure through additional comments on an ASRM was particularly valued by all parties, a finding previously identified amongst coaches (22).…”

Athlete self-report measures (ASRM) are a common and cost-effective method of athlete monitoring. It is purported that ASRM be used to detect athletes at risk of overtraining, injury, or illness, allowing intervention through training modification. However, it is not known whether ASRM are actually being used for or are achieving these objectives in the applied sport setting. Therefore, the aim of this study was to better understand how ASRM are being used in elite sports and their role in athletic preparation. Semistructured interviews were conducted one-on-one with athletes, coaches, and sports science and medicine staff (n = 30) at a national sporting institute. Interview recordings were transcribed and analyzed for emergent themes. Twelve day-to-day and 7 longer-term practices were identified which contributed to a 4-step process of ASRM use (record data, review data, contextualize, and act). In addition to the purported uses, ASRM facilitated information disclosure and communication among athletes and staff and between staff, and improved the understanding and management of athlete preparation. These roles of ASRM are best achieved through engagement of athletes, coaches, and support staff in the systematic cyclic process.

“…2,9 This research has highlighted athletes' need for a user-friendly, cross-platform compatible interface that is not burdensome to complete; however, it has also identified a worrying trend for dishonest or careless reporting in order to meet the sport's adherence requirements. 2,10 Practitioners are often the driving force behind TMS, 3 with their scientific knowledge and interpersonal skills relied upon to make the TMS a success. 11 However, there is little or no published evidence of the elite sector using theoretical behaviour change models to support practitioners in the adoption of TMS, despite the hurdles faced during its implementation.…”

“…In one study, the incidence of illness in a group of 30 rugby players was measured over a 48-week period 17. In this study, 123 upper respiratory infections (URI) were recorded (incidence of four URI episodes per player over the period) and 25 gastrointestinal tract complaints were recorded (0.8 per player over the period).…”
