| Chair: Ralph N. Pampino (Quality Behavioral Outcomes) |
| Discussant: Amanda N. Adams (Fitness Evolution) |
| Abstract: Learning Objectives
Describe how exercise science principles can be applied to thedevelopment of training programs in sports that demand a combination ofstrength, power, endurance and flexibility.
Identify and organize sport-specific and cross-training exercises toimprove performance in these types of sports.
Select measures and combine them into a measurement system to supporteffective, data-driven self management. |

| QBO Self-Management Data Collection: Practicing What We Preach |
| RALPH N. PAMPINO (Quality Behavioral Outcomes), Donald A. Wachelka (Quality Behavioral Outcomes), Jennifer MacDonald (Quality Behavioral Outcomes) |
| Abstract: Quality Behavioral Outcomes (QBO) is a behavioral educational consulting firm that has utilized in-house group contingencies to facilitate personal fitness related data collection and goal achievement. Three self-management strategies will be presented that include the measurement of cholesterol levels, caloric intake and expenditure, body weight, body fat, and exercise frequency and intensity. |

| Shaping a Triathlete via Self-Monitoring |
| JEANNE M. BROWER (Northern Illinois University) |
| Abstract: Self-monitoring can be an effective tool in changing a variety of behaviors. Ten years ago, the presenting author began using a simple calendar to monitor her frequency of exercise, which included walking and aerobics. Over time, the frequency, duration and intensity of exercise increased through the use of self-monitoring and intrinsic reinforcement of exercise. Exercise now consists of swimming, biking, running, resistance training and yoga in preparation for triathlon competitions. Self-monitoring data, including frequency and duration of exercise, distance and speed, heart rate and body weight, is recorded using a PDA and a triathlete training diary. |

| Self-Managed Performance Improvement in Elite-Level Sport Climbing |
| RICHARD KEVIN FLEMING (University of Massachusetts Medical School) |
| Abstract: Sport climbing is a highly technical and strenuous form of rock climbing. To achieve the “elite” level in this sport, most athletes will need to follow a systematic, sport-specific training regimen, supplemented with cross-training exercises, proper diet and sufficient rest. Fortunately, the physiological demands of sport climbing are such that athletes can continue to improve and achieve the elite level into their 50’s and beyond. The proposed paper will present the author’s personal data-based program for improving his sport climbing performance. Emphasis will be placed on the potential utility to others that share similar characteristics and may be seeking to improve their performance in sports. The paper will present: 1) a scientific foundation for designing performance improvement plans based on principles of exercise physiology and behavior analysis; 2) sport-specific and cross-training exercises; 3) nutrition and rest aspects; 4) behavioral self-management methods to occasion sufficiently consistent training; and 5) personal data and data systems to accommodate measurement challenges. |
