Description

The purpose of this study was to examine how 3 psychological problems facing Japanese runners,; “aim in running,” “running techniques,” and “benefit from running” influence runner’ s attitudes and actions, based on the research conducted by Adidas on 1,000 runners from all over Japan. <BR>  Logistic regression analysis revealed that the psychological problems were connected to the runner’s attitudes and actions. The results indicated that solutions for psychological problems would increase the frequency of running and lead to continuity of running. And as for the solutions, “development of a program designed for purpose” was found to be a common solution for 3 psychological problems. Moreover, it was found that different solutions would be required for each runner’s psychological problem, based on the results in which 3 psychological problems showed different trends of runner’ s feelings and actions.<BR>  It is suggested that the question of how to develop a “program designed for purpose” will be an upcoming challenge for the future, and it was indicated that the key to providing the purpose-designed program and incorporating other solutions would be in helping runners to access the appropriate information.
