Abstract

This narrative review study seeks to consolidate the existing knowledge on motivational factors that influence marathon and ultramarathon runners. The primary aim is to collect and summarize the understanding of the factors that drive both marathon and ultramarathon runners. Furthermore the review seeks to explore how variables like gender, age and experience impact motivational drivers within these running communities to highlight the intricate nature of factors, in endurance running and stress the significance of tailored training approaches and community backing to enhance participation and achievement. The study aimed to thoroughly review research papers using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) framework. After the evaluation of 302 publications that could potentially be relevant, 61 papers were selected for inclusion in the review. The investigation uncovers unique motivating patterns within these endurance sports communities. The desire for good health, physical fitness, and social interaction drives marathon runners. Their motivations develop as they train and become more involved in the running community. On the other hand, ultramarathon runners are motivated by internal psychological variables like self-esteem and personal exploration, which are significantly shaped by the ultramarathon community's impact on their identity and running approach. Additional research indicates that gender, age, and experience affect the motivational elements in both groups differently. Specifically, experienced ultramarathon runners prioritize personal achievements and health more than time. This review underscores the intricacy of motivating elements in endurance running, highlighting the necessity for tailored methodologies in training and communal assistance to cultivate involvement and achievement.

马拉松和超级马拉松运动员的动机。叙事回顾。
本叙述性综述研究旨在整合现有的关于影响马拉松和超级马拉松运动员的动机因素的知识。主要目的是收集和总结马拉松和超级马拉松运动员的动力因素。此外,综述还试图探讨性别、年龄和经验等变量如何影响这些跑步群体中的动机驱动因素,以突出耐力跑步中各种因素的复杂性,并强调量身定制的训练方法和社区支持对于提高参与度和成绩的重要性。本研究旨在采用系统综述和元分析首选报告项目(PRISMA)框架对研究论文进行全面审查。在对 302 篇可能相关的出版物进行评估后,选择了 61 篇论文纳入综述。调查发现了这些耐力运动群体的独特动机模式。对健康、体能和社交的渴望是马拉松运动员的动力。他们的动机会随着训练和更多地参与跑步活动而发展。另一方面,超级马拉松运动员的动力来自于自尊和个人探索等内在心理变量,而超级马拉松社区对他们的身份认同和跑步方式的影响又极大地影响了他们的动力。其他研究表明,性别、年龄和经验对这两个群体的动机因素影响不同。具体来说,经验丰富的超级马拉松运动员更看重个人成就和健康,而不是时间。这篇综述强调了耐力跑中激励因素的复杂性,突出了在训练和社区协助中采用量身定制的方法来培养参与感和成就感的必要性。
