The spread of wearable technologies is paving the way for the mass-scale adoption of self-tracking instruments, which are progressively integrating into different social practices. Among these, sport seems to be a promising domain in which Personal Informatics tools can support individuals in performing their activities and in achieving their situated goals. In this article, we conducted semi-structured interviews with amateur and elite athletes to explore what they seek in their trackers, how such instruments may impact on their “mind”, by affecting their motivation and attention during workouts and races, and how sports data are intertwined with other information pertaining to their lifestyle. On the basis of these findings we discussed three themes that may be relevant for Personal Informatics, also proposing a series of implications for design that may help researchers in designing self-tracking tools for sport.

可穿戴技术的普及为大规模采用自我跟踪工具铺平了道路，这些工具正逐步融入不同的社会实践中。其中，体育似乎是一个有前途的领域，个人信息学工具可以在其中支持个人开展活动和实现其既定目标。在本文中，我们对业余和精英运动员进行了半结构化访谈，以探讨他们在追踪器中寻求的东西，此类工具如何通过在锻炼和比赛中影响他们的动力和注意力来影响他们的“思想”以及体育数据如何与与他们的生活方式有关的其他信息交织在一起。根据这些发现，我们讨论了与个人信息学相关的三个主题，
