A is correct: Systematic tracking through diaries, logbooks and apps enables collaboration with sports dietitians to identify contributing factors.

Other options:

B is incorrect: Weight monitoring alone doesn’t provide comprehensive data about sleep, nutrition and hydration factors.
C is incorrect: Monthly fitness testing is too infrequent to identify daily performance factors affecting training.
D is incorrect: Resting heart rate alone doesn’t capture the full picture of recovery and nutritional status.
