Additional file 1 of Global Insights on Wearable Technology Adoption by Coaches: Determinants of Current Use, Decision Making, and Future Intention To Use

Supplementary Material 1 BackgroundThis study examines whether coaches use wearable technologies to individualize training procedures, and which factors influence both their current use and future intention to use such devices.MethodsBased on the technology acceptance model, we developed a questionnaire to assess the use of wearable technology for individualizing training procedures. Following a pilot investigation that included an exploratory analysis of a sample of 36 coaches, multiple regression models were used to confirm these exploratory results in a larger sample of 130 coaches (n = 5 Tier 1, n = 47 Tier 2, n = 52 Tier 3, n = 22 Tier 4, n = 4 Tier 5) from 14 countries.
