Psychological aspects of long-distance running among South African marathon runnersSymonds, Genevieve 11 1900 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to determine why South African
long-distance runners start and continue to run long distances,
what perceived psychological benefits and negative effects they
experience as a result of their involvement in the sport, and
what thoughts and emotions are associated with the runner's high.
Questionnaires were sent to 2 000 1992 Two Oceans Marathon
participants and 777 responded. Results show that South African
long-distance runners start running chiefly for physical fitness
and health reasons, and continue for these reasons as well as
psychological benefit reasons. As a result of their involvement
in the sport, they experience psychological benefits such as a
positive mood, positive self-image and positive mental outlook.
When unable to run, these benefits are reversed. They also
experience negative effects such as relationship problems because
of long-distance running. Many thoughts and emotions are
associated with the runner's high, but most define it as an
euphoric feeling / Art History, Visual Arts & Musicology / M.A. (Psychology)

Psychosocial factors and susceptibility to the common cold in distance runnersStruwig, Gillian Anne 30 November 2004 (has links)
This study investigated the relationship between specific psychosocial factors and susceptibility to the common cold in a sample of 124 distance runners. A cross-sectional survey design was used to assess the role of life events, coping, hardiness, training workload and competition frequency in the athlete's risk of infection. Using correlational statistical techniques, it was found that the magnitude of recent life changes and the avoidance coping strategy of denial were positively related to self-reported symptoms of the common cold. Furthermore, a significant inverse correlation was observed between hardiness and symptom duration scores. However, approach coping, training workload and competition frequency were not significantly related to the dependent measures. The results of this study suggest that certain stress-related psychosocial factors are associated with susceptibility to the common cold in distance runners. Several strategies for the prevention and treatment of upper respiratory tract infections in this group are implied by these findings. / Psychology / M.A. (Psychology)
