Abstract

The European Fans in Training (EuroFIT) program integrated need-supportive motivational strategies from Self-Determination Theory (SDT) in the design of a healthy lifestyle program delivered to overweight or obese male football fans (n = 1113; mean age of 45.9 [SD = 9.0] years old and BMI of 33.2 kg/m2 [SD = 4.6]) in professional football club settings in the UK, Portugal, Norway and the Netherlands. With a critical realist approach, we developed a structured thematic framework analysis based on Self-Determination Theory (SDT) to investigate the process of change in men who participated in the EuroFIT randomized controlled trial (RCT). We examined whether men’s experiences of the social context of EuroFIT, and whether their engagement with the program’s motivational strategies supported or frustrated their basic psychological needs while attempting to change their lifestyle behaviours. We found that men in all countries perceived the social contexts of the EuroFIT program as mostly needs-supportive, and that they found engagement with most of the program components helpful in supporting their psychological needs when initiating health behaviour changes. However, some of the program elements in the EuroFIT program were perceived as needs-frustrating by some participants and need-supportive by others. Implications for the use of need-supportive motivational strategies in designing future lifestyle interventions in sport settings to promote health behaviour change among male football fans are discussed.

通过 "欧洲球迷训练（EuroFIT）计划 "促进超重男性足球迷改变健康行为：自我决定理论视角。

欧洲球迷训练（EuroFIT）计划将自我决定理论（SDT）中的需求支持激励策略融入到健康生活方式计划的设计中，该计划面向英国、葡萄牙、挪威和荷兰职业足球俱乐部的超重或肥胖男性球迷（人数=1113；平均年龄 45.9 [SD=9.0] 岁，体重指数 33.2 kg/m2 [SD=4.6]）。我们采用批判现实主义方法，以自我决定理论（SDT）为基础，建立了一个结构化主题框架分析，以调查参加 EuroFIT 随机对照试验（RCT）的男性的变化过程。我们研究了男性对 EuroFIT 社会环境的体验，以及他们在尝试改变生活方式的过程中，参与项目的激励策略是支持了他们的基本心理需求，还是挫败了他们的基本心理需求。我们发现，所有国家的男性都认为 EuroFIT 计划的社会环境大多支持他们的需求，而且他们认为参与大多数计划内容都有助于支持他们在开始改变健康行为时的心理需求。然而，一些参与者认为 EuroFIT 计划中的某些项目内容会阻碍他们的需求，而另一些参与者则认为这些内容是支持需求的。本文讨论了在设计未来体育运动环境中的生活方式干预措施时使用需求支持型激励策略的意义，以促进男性足球迷的健康行为改变。

期刊介绍： Psychology of Sport and Exercise is an international forum for scholarly reports in the psychology of sport and exercise, broadly defined. The journal is open to the use of diverse methodological approaches. Manuscripts that will be considered for publication will present results from high quality empirical research, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, commentaries concerning already published PSE papers or topics of general interest for PSE readers, protocol papers for trials, and reports of professional practice (which will need to demonstrate academic rigour and go beyond mere description). The CONSORT guidelines consort-statement need to be followed for protocol papers for trials; authors should present a flow diagramme and attach with their cover letter the CONSORT checklist. For meta-analysis, the PRISMA prisma-statement guidelines should be followed; authors should present a flow diagramme and attach with their cover letter the PRISMA checklist. For systematic reviews it is recommended that the PRISMA guidelines are followed, although it is not compulsory. Authors interested in submitting replications of published studies need to contact the Editors-in-Chief before they start their replication. We are not interested in manuscripts that aim to test the psychometric properties of an existing scale from English to another language, unless new validation methods are used which address previously unanswered research questions.
