“…Although researchers face real challenges in using technological systems to prevent running injuries [42,43], several studies focus on aspects of improving running technique and minimizing injury [44][45][46][47]. Other researchers focus more on the role of running technology in relation to the social aspects of running [48][49][50][51] and the individual motivation of runners [52,53].…”

“…As mentioned earlier, tracking personalized training data has been cited as the main reason to use technology [25]. Several studies focus on designing new technology for runners to improve their running technique and prevent injury [44][45][46][47], to enhance the social interaction between runners [48][49][50][51], or to motivate individual runners [52,53]. Although technology seems to offer many advantages for runners, Hein et al [75] state that there are also associated (societal) risks, such as loss of social cohesion, privacy, and awareness.…”

This study aims to help professionals in the field of running and running-related technology (i.e., sports watches and smartphone applications) to address the needs of runners. It investigates the various runner types—in terms of their attitudes, interests, and opinions (AIOs) with regard to running—and studies how they differ in the technology they use. Data used in this study were drawn from the standardized online Eindhoven Running Survey 2016 (ERS2016). In total, 3723 participants completed the questionnaire. Principal component analysis and cluster analysis were used to identify the different running types, and crosstabs obtained insights into the use of technology between different typologies. Based on the AIOs, four distinct runner types were identified: casual individual, social competitive, individual competitive, and devoted runners. Subsequently, we related the types to their use of sports watches and apps. Our results show a difference in the kinds of technology used by different runner types. Differentiation between types of runners can be useful for health professionals, policymakers involved in public health, engineers, and trainers or coaches to adapt their services to specific segments, in order to make use of the full potential of running-related systems to support runners to stay active and injury-free and contribute to a healthy lifestyle.

“…Although motives for running can influence running drop-out [ 38 , 39 , 40 ], to the best of our knowledge, there is limited evidence about reasons to quit running. An important step toward expanding the evidence base is to understand the reasons for drop-out as perceived by runners.…”

Physical inactivity has become a major public health concern and, consequently, the awareness of striving for a healthy lifestyle has increased. As a result, the popularity of recreational sports, such as running, has increased. Running is known for its low threshold to start and its attractiveness for a heterogeneous group of people. Yet, one can still observe high drop-out rates among (novice) runners. To understand the reasons for drop-out as perceived by runners, we investigate potential reasons to quit running among short distance runners (5 km and 10 km) (n = 898). Data used in this study were drawn from the standardized online Eindhoven Running Survey 2016 (ERS16). Binary logistic regressions were used to investigate the relation between reasons to quit running and different variables like socio-demographic variables, running habits and attitudes, interests, and opinions (AIOs) on running. Our results indicate that, not only people of different gender and age show significant differences in perceived reasons to quit running, also running habits, (e.g., running context and frequency) and AIOs are related to perceived reasons to quit running too. With insights into these related variables, potential drop-out reasons could help health professionals in understanding and lowering drop-out rates among recreational runners.

“…For example, a previous study indicates that the drop-out rate to exercise programs within the first six months is about 50% (Biddle & Mutrie, 2007), thus missing out on important health benefits. An important factor influencing this intention-behaviour gap are barriers and enablers that are experienced between the intention and the exercise behaviour (Litman et al, 2015;Mueller, Tan, Byrne & Jones, 2017).…”

“…Previous research indicates external barriers are perceived more often as compared to internal ones (Arzu, Tuzun & Eker, 2006). These barriers and enablers, external or internal, are instrumental in successfully turning intentions into exercise behaviour (Litman et al, 2015;Mueller et al, 2017), also referred to as the 'intention-behaviour gap' (Sheeran & Webb, 2016).…”
