Self-report wellness measures are used extensively in elite sport as valid indicators of the adaptive responses to training and performance of an athlete. Wellness parameters such as quality and quantity of sleep, muscle soreness, fatigue, and stress are monitored in professional sport via Athlete Management Systems (AMS) and self-report monitoring applications (App). However, the use of a monitoring App specifically for professional classical ballet dancers has not been tested. This study piloted a self-report App to measure wellness constructs in a professional ballet company. Three male and two female dancers volunteered to take part in the mixed-method study, entering daily wellness data, frequency of work-related activities, and injury status into an App on their smart phones. Via a focus group interview session, perceptions of wellness and experiences using the App were found to be favorable, with dancers reporting that the App enhanced awareness of their well-being. To further develop monitoring tools in professional ballet companies, it is recommended that the App be made specific to the wellness needs of dancers.
自我报告的健康测量在精英运动中被广泛应用，作为运动员对训练和表现的适应反应的有效指标。通过运动员管理系统（AMS）和自我报告监测应用程序（App），监测专业运动中的睡眠质量和数量、肌肉酸痛、疲劳和压力等健康参数。然而，专门用于专业古典芭蕾舞演员的监测 App 尚未经过测试。本研究试用了一个自我报告的 App 来测量专业芭蕾舞公司的健康状况。三名男性和两名女性舞者自愿参加这项混合方法研究，他们每天在智能手机上的 App 中输入健康数据、与工作相关的活动频率和受伤状况。通过焦点小组访谈，发现对健康的看法和使用 App 的体验是有利的，舞者们报告说，该 App 增强了他们对健康的意识。为了进一步开发专业芭蕾舞公司的监测工具，建议将 App 针对舞者的健康需求进行定制。
