Abstract:
This study investigated the effects of self-monitoring and public posting on the cycling performance of competitive youth cyclists. We measured three primary dependent variables: performance volume, intensity precision, and performance-duration deviation. In addition, we evaluated self-monitoring accuracy and social validity. The participants were three males aged 14-16 years. We used an ABAB design to evaluate an intervention package that consisted primarily of self-monitoring and public posting. Athletes self-monitored their performance after training using an online summative Google Form. The coach publicly posted performance-based rankings on the social media application WhatsApp. Results indicate that the intervention package positively improved all performance measures across all athletes. Social-validity measures were also favorable.
摘要:
这项研究调查了自我监控和公开发布对竞技青年自行车运动员自行车表现的影响。我们测量了三个主要的因变量:性能量,强度精度,和性能持续时间偏差。此外,我们评估了自我监测的准确性和社会效度。参与者是三名14-16岁的男性。我们使用ABAB设计来评估干预方案,该方案主要包括自我监控和公开发布。运动员在训练后使用在线总结性Google表格自我监控他们的表现。教练在社交媒体应用程序WhatsApp上公开发布了基于绩效的排名。结果表明,干预方案积极改善了所有运动员的所有表现指标。社会有效性措施也是有利的。
