“…In combination with a video-stimulated recall procedure, this study garnered accuracy and insight into participants’ thought processes, such as behavioural intentions, as they occured in a real-world setting. 46,62 In sum, the collective advantages offered by the application of TFL, systematic observation, and video-stimulated recall in this study can serve to facilitate knowledge mobilization by strengthening our understanding of coaches’ intentions for the implementation of leadership behaviours in a real-world setting.…”

“…Video-stimulated recall is a mixed-methods protocol defined as “an introspection procedure in which videotaped passages of behaviours are replayed to individuals to stimulate recollection of their concurrent cognitive activity” (p. 861). 46 Similar interviewing protocols have been previously used to explore youth sport coaches’ experiences. 47,48 In fact, researchers have noted that this type of research method has potential for examining contexts that are uncertain and characterized by non-deliberative behaviour, similar to that of the coaching context.…”

“…47,48 In fact, researchers have noted that this type of research method has potential for examining contexts that are uncertain and characterized by non-deliberative behaviour, similar to that of the coaching context. 46 Furthermore, Turnnidge and Côté 40 highlighted the need for qualitative and observational methods to complement quantitative methods that continue to be employed. Stimulated recall interviewing is a technique that fullfills this need by tapping into coaches’ perceptions of why they engaged in a particular behaviour.…”

Youth sport coaches play an important role in shaping the sport experience and positive development of youth athletes. One salient approach to examining how the interpersonal behaviours of coaches influence young athletes has been through the lens of leadership theories. However, there is limited understanding surrounding the underlying processes associated with coach leadership behaviours, such as how and why behaviours are applied. This study sought to examine why do youth sport coaches use specific leadership behaviours and what are their intended outcomes when using these behaviours? Eleven coaches ( Mage = 42.3, SD = 14.5) were recruited from competitive youth soccer and volleyball clubs (athletes’ Mage = 15.8, SD = 1.9). Coaches participated in a video-stimulated recall interview, during which coaches reflected upon their own coaching behaviours and provided insight into the application of leadership behaviours in youth sport. Findings of the study revealed that contrasting leadership behaviours (e.g. transformational vs. transactional) are associated with distinctive coach objectives (promoting confidence vs. establishing respect). This study can serve to facilitate knowledge mobilization by strengthening our understanding of coaches’ intentions for the implementation of leadership behaviours in a real-world setting.

“…Aligned with constructivism, a relativist ontological position was held wherein we assumed that multiple realities exist, which are shaped by an individual’s interpretation of their experiences within various social contexts (Lincoln et al, 2011). Further, ascribing to a subjectivist and transactional epistemology, we assumed that knowledge is created through researcher-participant transactions and understood that our own realities, views, and experiences cannot be detached from the research process (Lincoln et al, 2011; Tamminen & Poucher, 2020). The researcher interacts with the participant in an attempt to understand their experiences from their point of view, lending to a co-construction of meaning (Davidsen, 2013).…”

“Your Body Is Not At All Where You Left It”: Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Survivors’ Experiences Transitioning Back Into Physical Activity After Treatment

Physical activity (PA) can help manage cancer treatment-related side effects and improve well-being following treatment; however, resuming PA after a period of inactivity due to cancer can be challenging. The purpose of this study was to explore adolescents and young adults (AYAs) experiences transitioning back into PA after a period of inactivity due to cancer treatment. Twelve previously active AYAs ( Mage = 30 ± 5.8 years) were purposefully sampled and engaged in a semi-structured interview. The following four themes were generated through a reflexive thematic analysis: PA is described as important and valuable; navigating one’s appearance and fitness changes after cancer treatment within the PA context; supportive care is essential to successful PA transitions; and juxtaposed environments: fitness facilities, cities, and green spaces. Developing strategies aimed at gradually transitioning into PA should be a priority to improve AYAs’ well-being through survivorship.

“…This study used a qualitative interpretive approach, from a constructivism philosophical position as the aim was to understand the meanings the women created and attributed to their experiences [30]. Ontologically the study was grounded in relativism, as the researchers acknowledged that multiple realities exist which are subjective and shaped through individual lived experiences.…”

“Everything is revolved around me being heavy … it’s always, always spoken about.” Qualitative experiences of weight management during pregnancy in women with a BMI of 40kg/m2 or above

et al. 2022

Introduction Maternal weight management services have been recognised as a good opportunity to influence lifestyle and dietary behaviour of mothers and families. Exploring women’s views of maternal weight management services is paramount to understand what constitutes the most suitable service. This study therefore explored experiences among women with a raised body mass index (BMI) of maternal weight management service provision and the barriers and facilitators to weight management during pregnancy. Method Thirteen women with a BMI≥40kg/m² undertook semi-structured interviews around weight management experiences during pregnancy. Interviews were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim. Inductive thematic analysis was undertaken. Results Four themes emerged. 1). "Understanding where I am at" showed current readiness and motivation of women varied, from being avoidant to being motivated to make changes. 2). "Getting information" revealed inconsistent information provision during pregnancy. Women particularly wanted practical advice. Some attempted to find this for themselves from friends or the internet, however this left some women feeling confused when different sources provided inconsistent advice. 3). "Difficulties I face" identified physical, emotional and financial barriers and the strategies some women used to overcome these. 4). "Encountering professionals–a mixed experience" demonstrated women wanted to be treated with respect and sensitivity and that how weight management information was addressed was more important than who provided it. The fine line professionals tread was demonstrated by women thinking that they had received inadequate information and yet too much focus was placed on their weight and the associated risks during pregnancy without practical solutions to their weight management challenges. Discussion Women were empowered when practical advice was provided, not just the continual repetition of the risks of being obese during pregnancy. Antenatal weight management services need to be clear, sensitive and respectful. Services centred on individual women’s needs and on their current and previous experiences are required. The psychological and social contexts of weight management also need to be addressed.
