Implementing Mobile Athlete Self-Report Measures (M-ASRM) in elite Gaelic Games requires more planning than anticipated. Stakeholders often underestimate the practical needs for successful M-ASRM integration and use.
Area of Science:
- Sports Science
- Digital Health
- Performance Monitoring
Background:
- Athlete monitoring increasingly uses digital Mobile Athlete Self-Report Measures (M-ASRM).
- Successful M-ASRM implementation demands careful consideration of context, resources, and stakeholder buy-in.
- Limited evidence exists on the practical application of these considerations in sports settings.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore stakeholder perceptions of M-ASRM implementation and understanding in elite Gaelic Games.
- To identify challenges and facilitators in the practical use of M-ASRM within this specific sport context.
Main Methods:
- Conducted semi-structured interviews with 21 M-ASRM users (players, coaches, support staff) from 15 elite Gaelic Games teams.
- Utilized a topic guide to explore M-ASRM rationale, introduction, and usage.
- Performed collaborative, inductive thematic analysis of interview transcripts using NVivo 12 software.
Main Results:
- Identified four key themes: clarity of purpose, implementation strategies, player perceptions, and facilitators of M-ASRM use.
- Revealed a significant underestimation of practical implementation requirements by users in elite Gaelic Games.
- Highlighted a gap between the intended benefits of M-ASRM and the perceived ease of integration.
Conclusions:
- Elite Gaelic Games stakeholders often underestimate the practical demands of implementing M-ASRM.
- Recommendations include shared decision-making, evidence-based education, structured feedback, and improved planning for feasibility and responsibility.
- Optimizing M-ASRM requires a more strategic and resource-aware approach to ensure effective athlete monitoring.
