Abstract

ABSTRACT The partnership between a visually impaired runner (VIR) and sighted guide runner (SGR) constitutes a unique sporting dyad. The quality of these partnerships may profoundly impact the sport and physical activity (PA) experiences of visually impaired (VI) people, yet little is known about the experiences of VIRs and SGRs. This study aimed to explore qualitatively the running experiences of VIRs and SGRs. Five VIRs and five SGRs took part in in-depth, semi-structured interviews (M length = 62 minutes) exploring their running journeys and perceptions of running-together. We analysed the dataset using reflexive thematic analysis. Four themes were generated, comprising: becoming and being a running team; a multi-faceted intercorporeal experience; running-together promotes change; and disabling social interaction within running. Participants were generally positive about their running experiences, highlighting a range of benefits derived from the activity. Nevertheless, some examples of barriers to participation were also identified. Although the positive experiences described by the runners suggest guided running holds promise to increase PA in VI people, our findings illustrate the importance of directing attention towards developing high-quality relationships between VIRs and guides, alongside reinforcing the need for further change to promote inclusivity.

“议程是玩得开心”:探索视障人士和引导跑者的引导跑体验
摘要视障跑步者(VIR)和视力指导跑步者(SGR)之间的合作构成了一对独特的运动搭档。这些伙伴关系的质量可能会深刻影响视障人士的运动和体育活动体验,但对病毒感染者和SGR的体验知之甚少。本研究旨在定性地探索虚拟机和SGR的运行体验。五名VIR和五名SGR参加了深入的半结构化访谈(M长度=62分钟),探讨了他们的跑步历程和对一起跑步的看法。我们使用自反主题分析来分析数据集。产生了四个主题,包括:成为和成为一个跑步团队;多方面的心灵体验;共同奔跑促进变革;以及禁用跑步中的社交互动。参与者普遍对自己的跑步体验持积极态度,强调了该活动带来的一系列好处。尽管如此,也发现了一些参与障碍的例子。尽管跑步者描述的积极经验表明,引导跑步有望增加VI人群的PA,但我们的研究结果表明,将注意力转向发展病毒感染者和引导者之间的高质量关系的重要性,同时加强了进一步变革以促进包容性的必要性。
