Complete short scientific questionnaires before, during, and after each race leg

Record audio notes to capture key team-related events (optional)

Keep a structured digital diary

Track your progress across different study stages

? Data Protection & Ethics:
No personal identifiers (name, email, etc.) are collected

Data is pseudonymized and encrypted

Participation is voluntary and consent-based (Art. 6(1)(a) & 9(2)(a) GDPR)

The app complies with all ethical standards of scientific research
