Influencing factors of marathon runners’ sport risk behavior: a mixed method study based on social cognitive theory

Based on the results of this study, it is recommended that competition organizers should pay attention to creating a safe climate during the competition. Relevant social departments, universities, and other organizations should work together to provide sports learning resources for runners and jointly provide an educational environment for marathon runners. These roles should start from the aspects of marathon runners' exercise motivation, risk perception, and health information seeking skills to help them construct a scientific understanding of fitness.

Abstract

Based on the results of this study, it is recommended that competition organizers should pay attention to creating a safe climate during the competition. Relevant social departments, universities, and other organizations should work together to provide sports learning resources for runners and jointly provide an educational environment for marathon runners. These roles should start from the aspects of marathon runners' exercise motivation, risk perception, and health information seeking skills to help them construct a scientific understanding of fitness.
