Area of Science:

  • Behavioral Science
  • Exercise Science
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Technology-mediated interventions are increasingly used to promote physical activity.
  • Self-determined motivation, driven by psychological needs (competence, relatedness, autonomy), is key to adherence.
  • Understanding how coaching in these interventions impacts motivation is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate an observational tool to quantify needs-supportive coaching in technology-mediated exercise.
  • To assess the reliability and construct validity of the developed tool.
  • To explore coaching profiles across different exercise class types.

Main Methods:

  • Development of the Peloton Instructor Needs-Supportive Coaching (PINC) tool.
  • Assessment of inter-rater reliability using kappa statistic (average kappa = .91).
  • Application of the PINC tool to analyze coaching in four distinct Peloton class types and its relation to intrinsic motivation.

Main Results:

  • The PINC tool demonstrated high reliability (average kappa = .91).
  • Distinct needs-supportive coaching profiles were identified across Beginner, Power Zone, Groove, and High-Intensity Interval Training classes.
  • The PINC showed construct validity in its relationship with intrinsic motivation.

Conclusions:

  • The PINC is a reliable and valid tool for evaluating instructor coaching in technology-mediated exercise.
  • This tool can help researchers understand how coaching influences self-determined motivation for physical activity.
  • Future studies can use the PINC to examine the impact of coaching on exercise adherence.
