Summary: This study used qualitative and longitudinal methods to explore and interpret the experiences of new runners and understand what factors contribute to their maintenance or discontinuation of running. The findings suggest that having a meaningful reason or purpose for running is crucial for sustained participation. However, social inequalities such as gender experiences, wealth, and health differences create barriers and unequal opportunities for runners. The study highlights the dynamic nature of exercise barriers and facilitators and emphasizes the importance of addressing social inequalities to promote sustained exercise participation.

Summary: This study investigated whether matching and customization of deposit amounts increased the uptake and short-term effectiveness of a deposit contract for physical activity. The results showed that both matching and customization increased the uptake of the deposit contract. However, customization might reduce the effectiveness of the intervention. More research is needed to understand the effectiveness of customizable deposit contracts and the participant characteristics predictive of uptake and effectiveness.

Summary: This study examined the effects of a personalized consequence-based approach-avoidance training (ABC training) on physical activity (PA). The results showed that although the ABC training did not significantly improve PA, it had positive effects on choices and automatic attitudes, suggesting that this intervention still has potential. Further research with intensive training and device-based measures of PA is needed.

Summary: The demands of elite sport have the potential to negatively impact athletes' wellbeing. However, not all athletes are affected in the same way. This study used grounded theory methodology to examine the processes of change in high-performance swimmers' wellbeing. The findings illustrate how a dominant performance narrative influences the development and maintenance of an exclusive swimmer identity tied to performance. Transitions were identified as critical points where wellbeing is likely to be affected, but proactive coping strategies and appropriate support can help minimize the impact.
