Objectives: Biochemical (e.g. creatine kinase (CK)) and neuromuscular (e.g. peak power output (PPO)) markers of recovery are expensive and require specialist equipment. Perceptual measures are an effective alternative, yet most validated-scales are-too-long for daily use.
Design: This study utilises a longitudinal multi-level design to test an adapted Brief Assessment of Mood (BAM+), with four extra items and a 100 mm visual analogue scale to measure recovery.
Methods: Elite under-21 academy soccer players (N =11) were monitored across five games with data (BAM+, CK and PPO) collected for each game at 24 h pre, 24 h and 48 h post-match. Match activity data for each participant was also collected using GPS monitors on players.
Results: BAM+, CK and PPO had significant (p <.05) linear and quadratic growth curves across time and games that matched the known time reports of fatigue and recovery. Multi-level linear modelling (MLM) with random intercepts for 'participant' and 'game' indicated only CK significantly contributed to the variance of BAM+ scores (p <.05). Significant correlations (p <.01) were found between changes in BAM+ scores from baseline at 24 and 48 h post-match for total distance covered per minute, high intensity distance covered per minute, and total number of sprints per minute.
Conclusions: Visual and inferential results indicate that the BAM+ appears effective for monitoring longitudinal recovery cycles in elite level athletes. Future research is needed to confirm both the scales reliability and validity.
