This article presents the performance factors identified by Olympic athletes and analyzes how they were prioritized and implemented during the 2012–2016 Olympiad. To address this issue, 28 semistructured interviews were conducted with French athletes who participated in the Olympic Games in 2016. The analysis shows that to achieve performance, only two factors were implemented by all the athletes: training and physical preparation. The other factors, namely, mental preparation, nutrition, and recovery care, were not implemented by all athletes. In addition, two main types of configurations have been identified: a minority of athletes (n = 4) for whom the choice of performance factors and their implementation are controlled by the coach and a majority (n = 24) who adopts secondary adjustments by relying on a parallel network.

本文介绍了奥林匹克运动员确定的性能因素，并分析了在2012-2016年奥运会期间如何对它们进行优先排序和实施。为了解决这个问题，对2016年参加奥运会的法国运动员进行了28次半结构化访谈。分析表明，为达到成绩，所有运动员都只采用了两个因素：训练和身体准备。其他因素，即精神准备，营养和康复护理，并未被所有运动员实施。此外，已经确定了两种主要的配置类型：少数运动员（n  = 4），其表现因素的选择及其实施受教练控制，而大多数（n = 24）谁依靠并行网络进行二次调整。
