Current trends in sports monitoring are characterized by the massive collection of tech-based biomechanical, physiological and performance data, integrated through mathematical algorithms. However, the application of algorithms, predicated on mechanistic assumptions of how athletes operate, cannot capture, assess and adequately promote athletes' health and performance. The objective of this paper is to reorient the current integrative proposals of sports monitoring by re-conceptualizing athletes as complex adaptive systems (CAS). CAS contain higher-order perceptual units that provide continuous and multilevel integrated information about performer-environment interactions. Such integrative properties offer exceptional possibilities of subjective monitoring for outperforming any objective monitoring system. Future research should investigate how to enhance this human potential to contribute further to athletes' health and performance. This line of argument is not intended to advocate for the elimination of objective assessments, but to highlight the integrative possibilities of subjective monitoring.
当前体育监测的趋势以大量收集基于技术的生物力学、生理学和表现数据为特征，这些数据通过数学算法进行整合。然而，基于对运动员如何运作的机械假设的算法应用，无法捕捉、评估和充分促进运动员的健康和表现。本文的目的是通过将运动员重新概念化为复杂适应系统（CAS），对当前体育监测的综合建议进行重新定位。CAS包含高阶感知单元，这些单元提供有关表演者与环境相互作用的连续和多层次的综合信息。这种综合特性为超越任何客观监测系统的主观监测提供了特殊的可能性。未来的研究应该探讨如何增强这种人类潜力，以进一步促进运动员的健康和表现。这一论点并非主张消除客观评估，而是强调主观监测的综合可能性。
