“…Performance in endurance sport is a complex mixture of physical, technical, and psychological factors (Taylor et al, 1995). Relating to the physical factors, endurance athletes aim to ensure they are physically prepared for their endurance sport (Jones & Carter, 2000) and they aim to manage exercise-induced sensations such as exercise pain, injury pain, discomfort and exertion (Christensen, Brewer, & Hutchinson, 2015;Samson, Simpson, Kamphoff, & Langlier, 2017;Schumacher, Becker, & Wiersma, 2016). In regards to the technical aspect, endurance athletes must ensure they pace themselves appropriately to help DEVELOPMENT AND INITIAL VALIDATION OF THE ESSES 8 ensure high levels of performance (Renfree et al, 2014), ensure appropriate technique and form (Novacheck, 1998), and they must also be able to maintain high levels of concentration to aid this and other related decision-making processes (Brick, MacIntyre, & Campell, 2014).…”

Self-efficacy is likely to be an important psychological construct for endurance sport performance. Research into the role of self-efficacy, however, is limited as there is currently no validated measure of endurance sport self-efficacy. Consequently, the purpose of the present research was to develop and validate the Endurance Sport Self-Efficacy Scale (ESSES). In Study 1, an initial item pool was developed following a review of the literature. These items were then examined for content validity by an expert panel. In Study 2, the resultant 18 items were subjected to exploratory factor analyses. These analyses provided support for a unidimensional scale comprised of 11 items. Study 2 also provided evidence for the ESSES's convergent validity. In Study 3, using confirmatory factor analyses, further support was found for the 11-item unidimensional structure. Study 3 also provided evidence for the ESSES's convergent and concurrent validity. The present findings provide initial evidence that the ESSES is a valid and reliable measure of self-efficacy beliefs in endurance sports.

There is considerable research interest in psychological aspects of endurance performance. Until recently, research typically lacked a theoretical underpinning, and contemporary research is particularly informed by the psychobiological model of endurance performance. In this critical review, we propose that psychological theories relating to self-regulation, particularly self-efficacy theory and the process model of emotion regulation, could shed more light on how endurance performance is determined and lead to additional understanding of how psychological interventions can be used. We argue that people encounter fewer stressors in most experimental studies than are encountered before and during real-life events. In addition, we argue that most research conducted to date has focused on the forethought and performance phases of self-regulation, rather than the self-reflection phase, and research has not considered the cyclical nature of self-regulation. We also argue that if research participants are not endurance athletes, then their motivation may not be self-determined and self-regulatory learning may not take place. Recommendations are given for future research, and evidence-based guidance is offered on enhancing performance and improving the quality of experience for endurance athletes.
