“…This focus on monitoring the health and performance of players is not exclusive to esports but applies to any competitive discipline (Fruchart & Rulence-Pâques, 2022;Gouttebarge et al, 2015;Grunseit et al, 2012). Similarly, understanding the coach's perspective has been studied in traditional sports to observe its influence on young athletes, which aligns closely with the approach of this questionnaire (Kokko et al, 2015).…”

Los deportes electrónicos están creciendo rápidamente en términos de impacto económico y social. Este crecimiento conlleva la evolución de los clubes, que lleva al desarrollo profesional de sus jugadores y entrenadores. A pesar del protagonismo de los jugadores, los entrenadores desempeñan un papel crucial en el control de las variables de salud y rendimiento en los deportes electrónicos, lo que les confiere una gran relevancia. Sin embargo, la perspectiva de los entrenadores respecto a estas variables es actualmente desconocida. Por ello, esta investigación se propuso diseñar y validar, mediante el método Delphi, un cuestionario centrado en el punto de vista de los entrenadores sobre aspectos de salud y rendimiento en los deportes electrónicos. Se consultó a un grupo de 8 expertos, los cuales cumplieron con los criterios de validez de la investigación. Posteriormente, se elaboró un cuestionario de 17 preguntas, dividido en las categorías de "Salud" y "Videojuego". El cuestionario procedió a validarse mediante el método Delphi a través de dos rondas de consulta. Se aplicó el coeficiente V de Aiken con un intervalo de confianza del 95% y, con un límite inferior de V de 0.75 y un mínimo de 0.7 para el límite inferior global. Los resultados mostraron que los 17 ítems cumplían los criterios establecidos (V≥0.75, Límite inferior > 0.7), lo que confirma su validez. Sobre la base de los datos obtenidos, este cuestionario representa una herramienta válida para conocer la perspectiva de los entrenadores sobre dos aspectos fundamentales en los deportes electrónicos: la salud y las claves de rendimiento. Además, se trata del primer cuestionario específicamente enfocado a este colectivo. Palabras clave: esports, entrenadores, rendimiento, salud, método Delphi. Abstract. Sports are growing rapidly in terms of economic and social impact. This growth entails the evolution of clubs, leading to the professional development of their players and coaches. Despite the prominence of players, coaches play a crucial role in controlling health and performance variables in esports, giving them fundamental relevance. However, the perspective of coaches regarding these variables is currently unknown. Therefore, this research aimed to design and validate, using the Delphi method, a questionnaire focused on the viewpoint of coaches on health and performance aspects in esports. A group of eight experts, who met the validity criteria for the research, was consulted. Subsequently, a 17-item questionnaire was developed, divided into the categories of "Health" and "Video Game." The questionnaire was then validated through the Delphi method in two rounds of consultation. The Aiken's V coefficient was applied with a 95% confidence interval, with a lower V limit of 0.75 and a minimum of 0.7 for the overall lower limit. The results showed that all 17 items met the established criteria (V≥0.75, Lower limit > 0.7), confirming their validity. Based on the obtained data, this questionnaire represents a valid tool for understanding the perspective of coaches on two fundamental aspects of esports: health and performance keys. Additionally, this is the first questionnaire specifically focused on this target group. Key Words: esports, coaches, performance, health, Delphi method.

“…Graphical methods (based on the response pattern, i.e., the shape of the curves) and statistical methods (mainly repeated-measures analyses of variance) can be used in an IIT analysis. Although IIT has been applied in various domains in sports psychology (e.g., judgments of well-being ( 15 ), performance ( 16 ), and ethics ( 17 )), its validity in the sports domain is still subject to debate because the experiments do not take place in real-life sporting situations [e.g. ( 18 ),].…”

The objective of the present study was to confirm the convergent validity of information integration theory in the judgment of fatigue in sport, using information integration, subjective, and physiological data. Twenty healthy athletes were confronted with six cycling scenarios in two experimental conditions. In the laboratory condition, the athletes imagined the scenarios and had to cognitively combine the exercise intensity (30%, 50%, and 70% of the maximal intensity) and the exercise duration (15 and 30 min) when judging their expected level of fatigue. In the real sports condition, the athletes enacted each scenario and then rated their subjective fatigue. The heart rate was recorded continuously, so that the physiological training impulse could be calculated. We applied analyses of variance to the data and analyzed correlations between variables. The information integration data from the laboratory condition, the subjective data from the real sports condition, and the objective (physiological) data from the real sports condition were strongly correlated. The information integration patterns concerning fatigue as a function of the exercise duration and intensity obtained respectively from the three data sets were extremely similar.

“…Well-being has become an increasingly popular area of study in sport and exercise psychology in recent years (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12). Over the past decade there has been a shift from exploring the presence of psychopathy to the existence of wellness, well-being, and psychological growth (13).…”

Clarifying concepts: “Well-being” in sport

The purpose of this commentary is to critique the application of well-being in the field of sport and exercise psychology and to provide recommendations for future research. Over the last decade well-being has been an increasingly popular concept under investigation. In the field of sport and exercise psychology, numerous scholars have examined and conducted research on well-being of athletes. While this research has resulted in an abundance of findings, there is concern in how the concept of well-being was applied, defined, and measured. The construct of well-being can be traced back to two distinct perspectives, hedonic well-being and eudaimonic well-being. These perspectives of well-being are based on different philosophical assumptions, and while they are compatible, they are theoretically distinct. In sport and exercise psychology, well-being has lacked consistent operationalization and measurement (i.e., theoretical alignment, single dimensions of hedonic or eudaimonic measured to make claims about the broader well-being constructs), is vague and loosely defined, and is often studied in isolation from a well-being perspective (i.e., no theoretical foundation). We conclude by offering three recommendations to move the field of well-being in sport research forward.
