Wayment, HA and McDonald, RL. Sharing a personal trainer: personal and social benefits of individualized, small-group training. J Strength Cond Res 31(11): 3137-3145, 2017-We examined a novel personal fitness training program that combines personal training principles in a small-group training environment. In a typical training session, exercisers warm-up together but receive individualized training for 50 minutes with 1-5 other adults who range in age, exercise experience, and goals for participation. Study participants were 98 regularly exercising adult members of a fitness studio in the southwestern United States (64 women and 32 men), aged 19-78 years (mean, 46.52 years; SD = 14.15). Average membership time was 2 years (range, 1-75 months; mean, 23.54 months; SD = 20.10). In collaboration with the program directors, we developed a scale to assess satisfaction with key features of this unique training program. Participants completed an online survey in Fall 2015. Hypotheses were tested with a serial mediator model (model 6) using the SPSS PROCESS module. In support of the basic tenets of self-determination theory, satisfaction with small-group, individualized training supported basic psychological needs, which in turn were associated with greater autonomous exercise motivation and life satisfaction. Satisfaction with this unique training method was also associated with greater exercise self-efficacy. Autonomous exercise motivation was associated with both exercise self-efficacy and greater self-reported health and energy. Discussion focuses on why exercise programs that foster a sense of social belonging (in addition to motivation and efficacy) may be helpful for successful adherence to an exercise program.
韦门特，HA和麦克唐纳，RL。共享私人教练：个性化小组训练的个人和社会效益。《力量与体能研究杂志》31(11): 3137 - 3145，2017年 - 我们研究了一种新颖的个人健身训练项目，该项目在小组训练环境中结合了个人训练原则。在一次典型的训练课程中，锻炼者一起热身，但会与1 - 5名年龄、锻炼经验和参与目标各异的其他成年人进行50分钟的个性化训练。研究参与者是美国西南部一家健身工作室的98名经常锻炼的成年会员（64名女性和32名男性），年龄在19 - 78岁之间（平均46.52岁；标准差 = 14.15）。平均会员时长为2年（范围为1 - 75个月；平均23.54个月；标准差 = 20.10）。我们与项目主管合作，开发了一个量表来评估对这个独特训练项目关键特征的满意度。参与者在2015年秋季完成了一项在线调查。使用SPSS PROCESS模块，通过序列中介模型（模型6）对假设进行了检验。为支持自我决定理论的基本信条，对小组个性化训练的满意度满足了基本心理需求，这反过来又与更强的自主锻炼动机和生活满意度相关。对这种独特训练方法的满意度也与更高的锻炼自我效能感相关。自主锻炼动机与锻炼自我效能感以及更高的自我报告健康状况和精力都相关。讨论聚焦于为何培养社会归属感（除动机和效能外）的锻炼项目可能有助于成功坚持锻炼计划。
