继续奔跑!跑步追踪的应用特征及其对长跑运动员内在动机的潜在影响分析
Keep on Running! An Analysis of Running Tracking Application Features and their Potential Impact on Recreational Runner's Intrinsic Motivation
摘要:
众所周知,体育活动有助于改善和保持健康。特别是,休闲跑步近年来变得越来越流行。然而,缺乏动力往往会干扰人们的日常生活,从而可能会阻碍定期吸收。这就是经常使用运行跟踪应用程序来克服一个人较弱的自我并提供支持的地方。虽然技术产品,如运动手表或运行应用程序,通常被视为外在驱动因素,但它们也会影响一个人的内在动机水平。因此,本研究的目的是调查的动机影响的不同功能内发现专门用于运行的应用程序。针对22个最著名的跑步应用程序,对$n=15$休闲跑步者进行了一项半结构化、以问题为中心的访谈研究,结果表明,转移跑步者的注意力、帮助他们设定目标、减少他们的努力、提高和分享他们的跑步成绩、让他们获得奖励以及为他们提供指导、信息、以及他们日常训练的多样性。
英文摘要:
Physical activity is known to help improve and maintain one's health. In particular, recreational running has become increasingly popular in recent years. Yet, lack of motivation often interferes with people's routines and thus may prohibit regular uptake. This is where running tracking applications are frequently used to overcome one's weaker self and offer support. While technology artifacts, such as sport watches or running applications, usually count as extrinsic drivers, they can also impact one's intrinsic motivation levels. The aim of this study was thus to investigate upon the motivational impact of distinct features found within applications specifically used for running. Focusing on the 22 most famous running applications, a semi-structured, problem-centered interview study with $n=15$ recreational runners showed that intrinsic motivation is stimulated from diverting runners, aiding them in their goal setting, decreasing their efforts, improving and sharing their run performance, allowing them to receive acknowledgements, as well as providing them with guidance, information, and an overall variety in their training routines.
