Athlete sensitivity to rewards and punishment can be assessed in two ways:
1. Psychological Tests
✔ Behavioral Inhibition System (BIS): Measures how strongly an athlete responds to punishment and negative feedback.
✔ Behavioral Activation System (BAS): Measures how sensitive an athlete is to rewards and positive reinforcement.
2. Observation During Training
✔ Apply + Audio or Visual Mode: Use positive auditory or visual feedback and observe if the athlete improves.
✔ Apply - Audio or Visual Mode: Use negative auditory or visual feedback and see if the athlete adjusts their performance.
Using both methods together provides a deeper insight into an athlete’s motivation, helping you customize training strategies for maximum effectiveness.
