Mood State, POMS, Iceberg Profile, Sports Performance, Overtraining, Fatigue, Psychological MonitoringAbstract
Emotional state plays a crucial role in athletic performance, affecting both the psychological and physiological aspects of athletes. The Profile of Mood State (POMS) is a widely used psychometric tool for monitoring emotional variations and predicting changes in performance. The Iceberg Profile model highlights that high-level athletes generally exhibit high vigor scores and low levels of tension, depression, anger, fatigue, and confusion. Research indicates that changes in emotional states can precede declines in performance and signal the presence of chronic fatigue or overtraining syndrome. The aim of this article was to discuss the structure of psychometric tools for mood state analysis, their applicability in the sports context, and their correlation with physiological biomarkers of stress and fatigue. Furthermore, it explores reduced versions of the scale, such as the Brunel Mood Scale (BRUMS), which facilitates practical application without compromising data validity. Finally, the limitations of the POMS are discussed, including the subjectivity of the responses and the need to combine its analysis with other physiological and psychological metrics for a more accurate assessment of the athlete's readiness state.
