Clarke, JV, Spence, A-J, Helms, ER, and Cross, MR. The relationship between online coaching characteristics, lifter satisfaction, and performance in powerlifters. J Strength Cond Res 39(6): 666-671, 2025-This study aimed to understand the length, mode, and frequency of online powerlifting (PL) coaching delivery and their relationship with lifter satisfaction (LS) and PL performance. Powerlifters ( n = 113) completed a self-reported online survey on their online PL coaching experience. Participants reported a mean PL total of 621 ± 111 kg for men ( n = 59) and 382 ± 77 kg for women ( n = 54). Coaching relationships, on average, were 21.75 ± 14.5 months long, and mean increases in PL total were 14.6 ± 15.5% (14.01 ± 12.43% and 15.32 ± 18.52% for men and women, respectively). When asked how satisfied lifters were with their coaching experience on a scale of 1-5 (1 = extremely dissatisfied, 5 = extremely satisfied), most lifters reported either 4 ( n = 63) or 5 ( n = 42). Using regression analysis, no significant relationship between mode or frequency of communication and LS or change in PL total was observed. There was a positive relationship between longer coach-lifter relationships and greater increases in PL total ( p < 0.001). Higher coach education was associated with increases in PL total ( p = 0.024), although its relationship with satisfaction was inconsistent (positive for lower values and negative for higher, p < 0.005). Together, these results suggest a temporal component to the effectiveness of powerlifting coaching and a potentially positive association between a degree of formal education and key outcomes. Alongside these analyses, these data help create an understanding of current online PL coaching practices.
克拉克、JV、斯彭斯、A-J、赫尔姆斯、ER和克罗斯、MR。线上教练指导特点、举重运动员满意度与力量举成绩之间的关系。《力量与体能研究杂志》39(6):666 - 671，2025年。本研究旨在了解线上力量举（PL）教练指导的时长、方式和频率，以及它们与举重运动员满意度（LS）和力量举成绩之间的关系。力量举运动员（n = 113）完成了一项关于他们线上力量举教练指导经历的自我报告式在线调查。参与者报告男性（n = 59）的平均力量举总成绩为621±111千克，女性（n = 54）为382±77千克。教练指导关系平均时长为21.75±14.5个月，力量举总成绩的平均增幅为14.6±15.5%（男性和女性分别为14.01±12.43%和15.32±18.52%）。当被问及举重运动员对其教练指导经历的满意度，评分范围为1 - 5分（1 = 极其不满意，5 = 极其满意）时，大多数举重运动员报告为4分（n = 63）或5分（n = 42）。使用回归分析，未观察到沟通方式或频率与举重运动员满意度或力量举总成绩变化之间存在显著关系。教练与运动员关系持续时间越长，力量举总成绩增幅越大，二者呈正相关（p < 0.001）。教练受教育程度越高，力量举总成绩增幅越大（p = 0.024），尽管其与满意度的关系并不一致（较低值时为正相关，较高值时为负相关，p < 0.005）。综合来看，这些结果表明力量举教练指导效果存在时间因素，并且正规教育程度与关键结果之间可能存在正相关。除了这些分析之外，这些数据有助于人们了解当前线上力量举教练指导的实践情况。
