How To Use Wellness Questionnaires to Monitor Athletes

Wellness questionnaires, also called Athlete Self Report Measures (ASRM), are an important part of an athlete monitoring system in sports science. They capture the subjective response to the athlete's training load, so we can use them to optimise athlete health and sports performance. But do they actually work, and if so, how can you best administer wellness questionnaires for athlete monitoring?

In this video, I discuss the sports science research investigating the sensitivity of wellness questionnaires to training load. I also discuss the kinds of questions you could ask athletes, such as training load, fatigue, mood, and sleep quality, and how to analyse the sports science data. Finally, I provide three key tips for sports scientists when implementing wellness questionnaires with your athletes.
