iQMsport is aimed at trainers who want to improve their training management by focusing on the subjective demands of their athletes. But athletes can also use iQMsport on their own and thus visualize their individual demands, thus optimizing their training.
The training control is based on (sports) scientific findings of researchers from the Technical University of Darmstadt and the Goethe University Frankfurt am Main.
iQMsport serves to record training factors that are important for the training control of the athletes. These are:
• the current physical and mental strain,
• the current condition,
• the quality and satisfaction with the training,
• cohesion in the team as well
• important influencing factors such as state of rest, sleep, nutrition and occupational or private stress.

The athletes judge these training factors personally and individually. Sports science research shows that the individual assessment and consideration of the training factors improves the training and makes it more successful.
In addition, trainers can also give their own assessments of the training factors of the factors of stress, quality, satisfaction and team cohesion of the athletes and then compare these with the self-assessments of the athletes. Sports science research shows that similar assessments are favorable for the success of the training and clear differences should be discussed.
The individual training factors can be recorded before and / or after the training. When recording before training, the training can be adapted directly. When used after training, the effect of the training can be directly determined and interventions planned.

Overall, the ten training factors listed below can be collected. These can be assigned to the areas (a) individual effects of the training and (b) individual influencing factors on the training and the performance:
(A) Training effects
1 Exercise stress (after training): Physical (speed, bounce, tactics, strength and coordination) and mental stress factors after a training session.
2 Training quality: Assessment of the current training day in terms of personal performance and effort, coaching and the relationship between athlete and trainer.
3 Satisfaction: satisfaction with the training and training course.
4 Togetherness in the team: cohesion and mood with the immediate teammates as well as the team as a whole.
(B) Factors
1 preload (before training): current personal resilience.
2 Recovery: Short-term and long-term regeneration and recovery.
3 Sleep: Sleep duration and quality.
4 nutrition: eating and drinking quality and weight recording.
5 Work / study / school: current school, study and job-related burdens as well as the current satisfaction in the respective area.
6 Family / Relationship: Recent satisfaction with or exposure to family and relational issues.

Detailed information on using the individual features (such as "Team management", "Starting a survey" or "View evaluation") can be found in the menu of iQMsport under "Help for iQMsport" and on the Internet at: http://iqmsport.de /

Note: The current version of iQMsport has been discontinued. a. in projects in cooperation with the German Volleyball Association e. V. developed. Therefore, some training factors volleyball specific designed and the assignment of a team is currently formally only for the sport of volleyball possible. Other variants for other sports (groups) are currently being developed.
