Introduction: Prevention of the health risk of amateur marathon runners is of great significance for the sustainable development of marathon. To reduce the psychological burden of amateur marathon runners and improve the participation experience, the current study used the health belief model to study the relationship among health beliefs, attitude to preventative behavior, self-efficacy, and health values of amateur marathon runners. Methods: A total of 342 data were collected, and using the PROCESS (analytical procedures developed for mediating and moderating effects tests based on SPSS and SAS). A series of multiple linear regression models were established to study the relationship between variables, and the bootstrap confidence interval was selected to test the mediating and moderating effect. Results: The results showed that perceived health threat (b = 0.463, p <0.05), health behavior expectations (b = 0.373, p <0.001), self-efficacy (b = 0.322, p <0.001), and behavioral attitudes (b = 0.230, p <0.001) can be regarded as antecedent variables for predicting preventative behaviors. In addition, the results also show that health behavior expectations, self-efficacy, and behavioral attitudes play chain-mediating role between perceived health threat and preventative behaviors. Health values appear to play a moderating role in the direct/indirect effects of perceived health threat on preventive behavior through a number of mediating variables. Discussion: This study emphasizes that the amateur marathon runners must improve their health concept and take effective preventive measures before participating in the competition. According to this research, it is the responsibility of the event parties, public health officials and relevant departments of the host city to provide rich health information and risk education to amateur marathon runners. More public service advertisements or educational materials are needed to be placed on runners to enhance their awareness of the necessity and importance of taking preventive measures.

“…For example, the hedonists could often change of training site to discover new landscapes while the competitors prefer training with sparring partners. Whereas it has been reported that intrinsic motivation is a protective factor for injury in marathoners (Chalabaev, Radel, Ben Mahmoud et al, 2017) it appears that the form of integrated motivation found in resilients, who are less sensitive to the intensity of effort in competition, could induce exhaustion. We suggest that further investigations should be conducted into the validation of a short questionnaire to identify the resilients, which could be useful for the trail running coaches, organizers and their medical teams to enhance safety and reduce the risk of adverse events among participants (Hoffman, Khodaee, Nikiah, Nudell, & Pasternak, 2020).…”

This study aimed to observe the potential influences of the motivations in 17 trail-runners, on their running velocity (RV), perceived exertion (RPE), and Affective Valence (AV) during a 44-km competition. Before, they performed a maximal graded test to assess Maximal Aerobic Velocity (MAV) and maximal HR. They also completed a sociological questionnaire to determine their motivations, which allowed the identification of three categories: 1) hedonists (HEDO), who enjoy landscapes, 2) resilients (RESI), who experience pleasure when they overcome an adverse life event, and 3) competitors (COMPET), who like measuring themselves against others. During the competition, we observe no significant differences regarding RV, %MAV, and %HR max among the groups. However, RPE and AV were significantly lower (p < 0.05) in RESI compared to HEDO and COMPET. Therefore, the motivations could influence RPE and AV and provide perspectives to understand the motivational means of trail runners.

“…Typically, answers vary from extrinsic factors such as 'I want to beat others', 'I want to win', 'I want to beat a time', 'I want to be faster', to intrinsic factors such as 'I enjoy the feeling and freedom of running' or as stated by Haile Gebrselassie: "I love running and I will always run" (Quotetab.com, 2020). Selfdetermined types of motivation (or autonomous motivation), where the runner has more control over their motivation, are associated with more positive outcomes Goose & Winter, 2012), including lower perceived susceptibility to injury in marathon runners (Chalabaev et al, 2017).…”
