Fitness influencers are an emerging profession in recent years. At present, the main research on fitness influencers focuses on their personal traits, professional knowledge and skills, and course content, while there is still a large research gap on the social media marketing strategies of fitness influencers, how they interact with fans, and the reasons for their influence on fans. There is a lack of a comprehensive evaluation framework for fitness influencer research, and there is no clear research on what competencies are required to become a qualified fitness influencer. Therefore, it has become an important issue to establish a comprehensive fitness influencer competency evaluation. In this study, a hybrid model of fitness influencer competency evaluation framework was developed based on government competency standards and expert knowledge using the Multiple Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) model perspective. This evaluation should expand to include the principles of sustainable development, emphasizing the influencers’ role in advocating for environmental responsibility, social equity, and economic viability within the fitness industry. First, the study developed 21 criteria in six dimensions of fitness influencer competencies through a literature survey and interviews with several experts. The 21 criteria resonate with many of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being), SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 5 (Gender Equality), SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), and SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities). The Bayesian Best-Worst Method (Bayesian BWM) was used to generate the best group weights for fitness influencer competencies. Then, a modified Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to the Ideal Solution Based on Aspiration Level (modified TOPSIS-AL) was applied to evaluate the performance ranking of major fitness influencers in Taiwan by integrating the concept of the aspiration level. The results of the study revealed that behavioral standards were the most important dimension, emphasizing the need for fitness influencers to establish a comprehensive set of norms for their own behavioral standards. The top five criteria for fitness influencers’ competencies were self-review, punctuality and prudence, creativity, rapport and motivation, and the need to conform to one’s body image. The performance ranking was used to compare the evaluated subjects to the desired level to obtain a basis for improvement. This study effectively identifies key fitness industry competency indicators and refines business performance through the management implications proposed in this study to facilitate the development of the fitness industry.

“…researching the entrepreneurial identity also comes with challenges around the construct 'entrepreneur' and whether it 'fits' the individual in terms of their social and ideological positioning. there are entrepreneurs who despite their clearly entrepreneurial actions do not self-identify as entrepreneurs (Bridgstock, 2013;dobson & Mcluskie, 2020) as for some people, the construct of the entrepreneur is not discursively aligned with their social identity (Jones, 2012).…”

Entrepreneurial identity is a complex concept. It has been recognised as a subjective and dynamic socio-cognitive factor which is not stable over time and is part of an iterative formation process. This chapter explores the journey of adopting, implementing and reviewing visual methods from the researchers' perspectives. A critical standpoint is offered which explores both the benefits and challenges that presented themselves in the search for rich data.

“…In many ways, entrepreneurs sell an event as part of a place experience [5], since as each rider navigates the trail and its location, they are able to develop their own practice, while demonstrating to others the places visited with the mountain bike [6], in many occasions using different APPs such as Strava, Ciclogreen or MapMyRide, among many others, this is of vital importance since when traveling, cyclists choose places that particularly interest them [7].…”

This article presents the opinions of mountain bike event organisers on the marketing mix generated by the different events, which will help us to detect areas of opportunity in the preparation of the sporting challenges. The analysis was carried out using a survey of twelve organisers from different municipalities in the state of Michoacá n, where the minimum selection requirements were to have held the event for at least 5 consecutive years, to ensure continuity, and to have at least 400 participants in each one of the events, to subsequently analyse the answers through the experton theory, giving as a result what each of the questions asked represents for them, one of the findings was that the price is an important factor in the decision to participate in the events, while, in the same vein, the organisers are not satisfied with what is offered at the events.
