While the new triathlon season is about to start we did the first step into our season with a survey about body perception.
It is the kick-off for our BIEST BOOSTER Body Perception Experiment »3BPE« that shall launch within the next days. We worked out a protocol based on the result of this survey that you can use as a tool to train your body perception and monitor your body fitness.
In this survey we asked 240 athletes which body signs they observe to assess their wellbeing and form. Thanks a lot to all of you who were so kind as to sharing their experiences with us! Now, here are the figures
Mood and emotional state are valued the most (66%), closely followed by the sleep pattern (63%).

Neck and neck was the combination of the emotional state and the quality of sleep and the extend and duration of fatigue (62%). For 51% muscle soreness plays an important role in assessing the actual body shape. The state of mind (51%) is ranked in 4th position whereas body weight, appetite, craving for sweets or temperature sensation are of minor priority.

Some of you prefer to measure the heart rate . We hope that this survey encourages you to take part in our BIEST BOOSTER Body Perception Experiment »3BPE«. We are looking forward to your applications.
