The Benefits of Questionnaires for Athletes

These are essentially questionnaires getting at what's going on in your life. This is certainly not anything like the objective measures where you're taking blood. Why are these actually able to be more sensitive and more consistent? We found overwhelmingly, the subjective measures were more consistent in their ability to pick up changes. They were more sensitive. They provided earlier warning signs. Many of the objective measures were probably better at chronic changes but that's probably changes when you're really reaching into over-training.
