In the context of exercise, commitment is the correct level of a person's performance of a recommended training regimen (for example, the number of training days per week), including the level at which a person follows the prescribed dosage of exercise (for example, determined by heart rate, perceived load level, or percentage of one repeated maximum). There is no questionnaire to assess exercise adherence for athletes. The consensus of experts will be used to create the questionnaire. to develop a questionnaire to assess adherence to a new training effect for athletes using the Delphi method.

Hypothesis: Valid and reliable assessment of exercise adherence results will allow for informed conclusions about the effects of exercise.

Round 1. According to ACCORD (items M6 and M7), we conducted a systematic literature search to create the first questionnaire on adherence to new exercise interventions for athletes [5]. Four experts reached a consensus to include 39 questions in the first questionnaire. The expert council discussed the resulting questionnaire after the first round and jointly developed a protocol for the second and third rounds. The first round protocol was registered in the OSF international database: http://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/SA2E9.

Round 2. The protocol for the second and third rounds was compiled before the start of the search and did not change either during or after its completion, according to ACCORD and PRISMA-P (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta Analysis Protocols (PRISMA-P))
