“…This suggests that the cognitive capacity of athletes could be at risk, even if they are actively choosing not to engage with their phones. This is also salient because smartphone and social media usage prior to competition and training has been found to incur concentration disruption and inhibited decision-making in athletes (Encel et al, 2017 ; Fortes et al, 2019 ). It appears that if unmanaged, internal and external smartphone distraction has the potential to be cognitively depleting, and disruptive to athletes' concentration and performance (Encel et al, 2017 ; Fortes et al, 2019 ).…”

“…Some have started to address the potential implications of smartphone usage on athletes' performance. These studies suggest that athletes' use of smartphones and/or social media at various stages prior to sport performance can disrupt concentration (Encel et al, 2017 ), inhibit decision-making (Fortes et al, 2019 ), induce mental fatigue (Greco et al, 2017 ; Fortes et al, 2019 ), and delay sleep (Jones et al, 2019 ), in some instances, leading to performance decrements (Greco et al, 2017 ; Fortes et al, 2019 ; Jones et al, 2019 ). A distinct, but related stream of research has focused on competitive athletes' self-presentation and sharing behaviours on social media (e.g., Smith and Sanderson, 2015 ; Nankervis et al, 2018 ), as well as experiences and implications of using various platforms, particularly Twitter (David et al, 2018 ; Sanderson, 2018 ; Park et al, 2020 ).…”

“…More specifically, the aim was to gain an in-depth understanding of varsity athletes' positive and negative smartphone experiences by investigating the core research question "How are varsity athletes using their smartphones, and how is their usage impacting their experience of being a varsity athlete?" • Social connectedness (Best et al, 2014;Gardner and Davis, 2014;Ryan et al, 2017) • Communication (Gardner and Davis, 2014;Bentley et al, 2015) • Identity and image management (Gardner and Davis, 2014;Chan et al, 2015;Park et al, 2020) • Self-disclosure (Best et al, 2014;Gardner and Davis, 2014) • Social and emotional support (Wright, 2012;Best et al, 2014;Frison and Eggermont, 2015) • Well-being (Wright, 2012;Best et al, 2014) • Learning (e.g., Chan et al, 2015;George and DeCristofaro, 2016) • Self-regulatory behaviours (e.g., Quelly et al, 2015) • Cognitive capacity, attention, analytic thinking, and working memory (Abramson et al, 2009;Stothart et al, 2015;Ward et al, 2017;Marty-Dugas et al, 2018) • Sleep (Thomée et al, 2010) • Task performance and information processing (Stothart et al, 2015;Carrier et al, 2018;Fortes et al, 2019) • Productivity and efficiency (Rosen et al, 2013;Carrier et al, 2018) • Social presence (Chotpitayasunondh and Douglas, 2016;McDaniel and Coyne, 2016) • Self-control (Abramson et al, 2009;Rosen et al, 2013;Carrier et al, 2018) • Well-being (Best et al, 2014;Rosen et al, 20...…”

Varsity athletes are a group of high performers situated within a demographic notable for smartphone usage and media-multitasking. Surprisingly, little research has examined the impact of smartphones in the lives of varsity athletes. The purpose of this exploratory, qualitative study was to begin addressing this gap by investigating varsity athletes' experiences with smartphones. Varsity athletes (n = 21) from nine different sports participated in one of five focus groups, and data emerging from these discussions were subjected to an inductive thematic analysis. Results indicate that smartphones are a mainstay of varsity athletes' experiences, as the athletes regularly use their smartphones to manage roles and demands across multiple contexts (e.g., sport, school, home). Themes pertained to concurrent negative (e.g., stress, distraction, disengagement) and positive (e.g., self-regulation, social connectedness) implications of smartphone usage, making it clear that athletes' relationship with their smartphone is a complicated one. Findings contribute to the limited studies of smartphone usage among athletes, and support the notion that implications of usage exist along a continuum, rather than in distinct categories of “good” and “bad”. Results can inform practical guidelines for optimising athletes' use of smartphones in and around the sport context.

“…A reduction in attention and inhibitory control would be expected to impair performance, especially in races that require sustained effort (e.g., 100 and 200-m freestyle). A mentally fatigued athlete might experience reduced attention and inhibition control (Fortes et al., 2019; Franco-Alvarenga et al., 2019).…”

Smartphone Use Among High Level Swimmers Is Associated With Mental Fatigue and Slower 100- and 200- but Not 50-Meter Freestyle Racing

Discovering any performance degradation effect of racing swimmers’ use of social media smartphone apps might lead to new training and race preparation protocols, including pre-meet smartphone avoidance. This study’s objective was to analyze the performance effects of using smartphone social media apps on the 50, 100, and 200-m freestyle among 25 high-level swimmers. Each participant performed the three race distances in two conditions: with smartphone app exposure (50-MF, 100-MF, and 200-MF) and without (50-CON, 100-CON, and 200-CON). We randomized the order of these two conditions across participants. While smartphone app use was not associated with statistically significant performance differences on the shortest race (50CON versus 50MF), a repeated measures ANOVA showed a significant condition × time interaction for the swimmers’100-m freestyle performance ( p = 0.01), with a significantly slower performance following smartphone app use evident in the last half of this race ( p = 0.02) but not in the first half ( p = 0.41). We also found a condition × time interaction in the same direction (slower for swimmers who used the smartphone app) for the 200-m freestyle performance ( p = 0.01), with the slower performance occurring in the second ( p = 0.01) but not the first ( p = 0.91), third ( p = 0.07) or fourth ( p = 0.06 ) quarters of this race. Thus, prolonged smartphone social media app use was associated with reduced performance from elite swimmers on the 100- and 200- but not the 50-m freestyle.

Mental fatigue (MF) has been shown to acutely impair the psychological responses and endurance running performance of orienteers. This study aimed to explore MF levels experienced by orienteers during a 4‐day competition preparation camp that consisted of simulated sprint, middle‐distance, long‐distance, relay and night races. Eleven national junior orienteers participated in the study (age: 15–17 years, height: 1.69 ± 0.07 m and body mass: 59.9 ± 5.22 kg). Subjective ratings of MF, motivation, stress, physical fatigue (PF) and tiredness were measured using a 100‐mm visual analogue scale. The Brunel Mood Scale (BRUMS) was utilized to assess the mood state of the orienteers. The self‐report measures were taken within 30 min of waking, immediately after the post‐training session, and after 24 and 48 h following the final training session. The pre–post orienteering training combined analysis showed that there was a moderate increase in perceived MF (ES = 1.06 [0.66, 1.45]), PF (ES = 1.07 [0.69, 1.45]) and BRUMS fatigue (ES = 0.74 [0.4, 1.1]) after orienteering training. At 48 h post the final training session, MF remained moderately elevated (ES = 0.86 [−0.07, 1.75]), while PF also remained elevated to a small extent (ES = 0.46 [−0.46, 1.39]) compared to the pre‐training values. A moderate impairment was still observed in BRUMS vigor (ES = −1.02 [−1.65, −0.36]), but BRUMS confusion scores were moderately lower (ES = −0.85 [−1.71, 0.04]) than pre‐training values. This study found that orienteering training induced acute MF, persisting for at least 48 h after the final session.
